For more than a decade, the CSO Awards have recognized security projects that demonstrate outstanding thought leadership and business value. The award is an acknowledged mark of cybersecurity excellence.
“The scope and complexity of cybersecurity responsibilities are expanding rapidly—especially in the face of emerging AI-driven threats,” said Beth Kormanik, Content Director of the CSO Conference & Awards. “This year’s CSO Award winners exemplify how today’s security leaders are meeting these challenges head-on. From deploying machine learning to detect sophisticated attacker behaviors to implementing passwordless authentication across large organizations, these initiatives reflect the value of bold, forward-thinking security strategies.”
Winners will be recognized in-person at the CSO Conference + Awards at the Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas, Indian Wells, CA October 20-22, 2025. Over the course of the event, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with peers, learn more about the award-winning projects, and share valuable insights.
