Most good security work is invisible by design. Today is the exception.
The 2026 Cybersecurity Stars Awards winners are announced across 95 subcategories in four main award categories.
The reason is simple. Cybersecurity is full of work that deserves recognition and rarely gets it. Products that quietly close real gaps. Teams that stop incidents nobody reads about. Companies that raise the baseline for everyone else. The Cybersecurity Stars Awards put names on that work, once a year, through independent judging.
Every nomination was reviewed by an independent panel of judges and scored against three criteria: innovation, impact, and technical excellence. Entries were not ranked by popularity, brand size, or campaign reach. They were judged on the work itself.
