Recognising security success

Security Excellence Awards shortlist revealed

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.

The shortlist of nominees for this year's awards includes a diverse range of organisations and individuals from across the globe, all of whom have made significant contributions to the field of UK security.

Cybersecurity touches every area of business, and a robust security strategy is critical to survival in the modern world.

But turning survival into success requires much more: more effort, more ambition and more innovation - elements this year's finalists have in spades.

Among the nominees are major tech companies, innovative start-ups and influential thought leaders.
