The CISO Choice Awards are a differentiated programme based on the real-world experiences and perspectives of end-user executives, with clear criteria and a known and transparent Board of CISO Judges. Part of Security Current’s exclusive CISOs Connect membership knowledge-sharing community, the CISO Choice Awards recipients are selected by the board who have first-hand knowhow and insights from building and maintaining their own programmes.
“As CISOs grappling with real-world challenges on a daily basis, we know what distinguishes a good security solution from a great one,” said Board member Matt Lemon, Huawei Mobile Services CISO. “As a member of the exclusive CISOs Connect community, we want to recognize the innovations that are keeping companies, agencies and institutions safe at a time when cyber onslaughts are dangerously mounting.”

“Knowledge sharing and education are top pillars of our CISOs Connect community, and these awards offer an unparalleled look into how top security professionals minimize existing and emerging risks,” said Customers Bank EVP & CISO, Endré Jarraux Walls. “By collecting examples of real-life experiences, the awards will promote discussion and cast a spotlight on the proven partners and cutting-edge solutions that help us safeguard our organizations.”
Covanta CISO Tammy Klotz added: “With cybercrime costing the world trillions of dollars a year, thousands of security companies and startups have sprung up across the world to focus on these digital dangers, and singling out the best fit for an organization’s needs is a daunting task. The CISO Choice Awards will make it easier for our peers to see which companies have risen above the competition.”
“As CISOs, finding the right cybersecurity technologies and solutions that align with our organization’s security objectives is essential, however, finding the right vendor that understands the value of true partnership is equally important,” said ICF VP & CISO, Joseph Dyer. “The CISO Choice Awards provides an opportunity for knowledgeable CISOs to distinguish exceptional vendors that have developed trust, offer solid security solutions, maintain innovation, and deliver valuable partnerships.”
As a fundamental part of their mission to support the CISOs and the cybersecurity solution ecosystem in order to safeguard enterprises and organizations internationally, Mayfield, a global venture capital firm, has partnered with CISOs Connect.
