Cybersecurity Innovators Honored in Landmark 10th Annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards Program

Annual International Awards Program Celebrates a Decade of Recognizing Standout Information Security Companies and Products

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CyberSecurity Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and technologies in the global information security market, today announced the winners of its 10^th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program, marking a full decade of recognizing breakthrough cybersecurity innovation. The winning CyberSecurity Breakthrough selections showcase information security technologies and companies that push ingenuity and exemplify the best in cybersecurity and risk management technology solutions across the globe.

Ten years ago, cybersecurity was largely a battle fought at the network perimeter. Today, that perimeter has all but disappeared. Threat actors are deploying autonomous AI to launch attacks at machine speed, identities have replaced firewalls as the primary line of defense, and the arrival of quantum computing is forcing organizations to rethink the encryption that protects their most sensitive data.

Defenders are answering with agentic security operations that detect, investigate and respond to threats in real time, while enterprises moving AI models, copilots and agents into production are making the security of AI itself a core discipline. The explosion of machine and nonhuman identities is pushing identity security to the center of enterprise defense, organizations are beginning the migration to quantum resistant encryption, and expanding disclosure rules around the world are driving new investment in exposure management and rapid recovery.

The 2026 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards spotlight the technologies, strategies and leaders that are not only countering today’s most pressing risks, but also building the secure, resilient foundation for the decade ahead.

“When we launched CyberSecurity Breakthrough ten years ago, the industry was focused on building higher walls around the network. A decade later, there is no perimeter left to defend, attackers are operating with AI at machine speed, and cybersecurity has become the foundation of trust for every business, government and consumer,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “Over these ten years, we have had a front row seat to an extraordinary run of innovation, and this year’s winners represent the very best of it. They are not simply keeping pace with the threat landscape; they are building the secure, resilient infrastructure that the next decade will depend on. Congratulations to all of our 2026 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Award winners.”

The 2026 awards program received thousands of nominations from organizations in more than 20 countries around the world, representing breakthrough technologies from disruptive startups to established global enterprises. This year’s winners embody the cutting edge of cybersecurity technology, delivering next generation protection and resilience in today’s increasingly complex threat landscape.

All nominations underwent a comprehensive review by an independent panel of industry experts. Winners were chosen based on a range of criteria, with a focus on innovation, technological advancement, and the overall impact of their solutions in advancing the cybersecurity industry.
