Click to view all categories

As part of the Awards program, we find it especially meaningful o recognize and honor newer providers that have recently set their sights on the Asia Pacific cybersecurity market with innovative and customer-centric solutions and services with our Rising Star Awards this year. These rising stars are expected to be great partners for both end-user organizations and cybersecurity integrators and resellers.

The Hall of Fame is reserved for truly exceptional companies that have set the benchmark for excellence in cybersecurity. These organizations have consistently earned the trust and votes of the community, winning a CybersecAsia Readers’ Choice Award for at least five out of the past six years.

This honor celebrates their sustained leadership, unwavering innovation, and lasting impact across the Asia Pacific region

WINNING CRITERIA

Each organization can submit up to a total of three (3) nominations, in 1-3 Award categories.

Nominations from solution providers and vendors will be shortlisted by our internal panel of editors and advisors and put up online for CybersecAsia.Net’s readers to vote. The finalist with the most votes in each category will be declared the winner.

 

Nominees will be shortlisted based on the following criteria, which would be detailed in the Nomination Form:

  • check-box Innovative features of security-related solutions or services that meet enterprise needs and demands in Asia Pacific.
  • check-box Reputation of provider and/or brand.
  • check-box Widepread acceptance of the technology, tool or technique used.
  • check-box Asia pacific enterprise users' feedback on the ease of use, TCO and/or ROI of the solution or deployment.

Disclaimers:
Not every category will be awarded, and we reserve the right not to award them if no clear winner emerges from the judging.
In the event of a tie in scores, joint winners will be awarded.

The organizer’s decision on the winners, based on qualified readers’ votes, will be final.
