How winners are chosen

  • Independent judgesEvery nomination is reviewed by independent judges: cybersecurity practitioners, analysts and CISOs. They look for leadership, innovation and impact.
  • A fair comparisonTo keep the comparison fair, each category is split into peer groups by company size and region. A startup is compared with other startups, not with a global vendor. Each peer group can have its own winner. This is why a category can have more than one winner.
  • Chosen on meritJury award winners are chosen on merit. The fee paid and the number of votes do not influence the judges. Community Choice winners are chosen by public votes.
