Finalists announced for Security Excellence Awards 2021

Security excellence in 2021 goes way beyond protecting a simple office border

Recognising and rewarding the companies, people, products and projects that keep the rest of us safe, Computing's Security Excellence Awards celebrate the achievements of the security industry over the last year - and now it's time to name some names.

Cybersecurity touches every area of business, and a robust security strategy is critical to survival in the modern world. But turning that survival into success requires much more: more effort, more ambition and more innovation. Elements that this year's finalists have in spades.

While cloud has been this year's big success story, security remains a key industry - especially in the era of remote working. IT teams suddenly found it a lot more difficult to protect employees and systems in March 2020, and many companies are still struggling to consolidate the solutions they panic-bought at the start of the pandemic. Being a security success is about a lot more than simple protection now; maintaining clear communication with the business is just as important.

Awards categories cover every aspect of security: from DevSecOps, email and cloud to risk management, threat detection and training - plus a whole sub-division of categories for individuals and organisations. Winners will be announced via an exclusive awards eBook on Wednesday 1st December, chosen from the standout entrants who made the 2021 shortlist. So, who were they?
