FAQs

The Expert Insights Cybersecurity Awards recognize leading cybersecurity and IT solutions across a range of categories. Winners are selected by the Expert Insights research team based on product research, hands-on testing, and verified customer feedback.

Winners are selected by the Expert Insights research team following research into cybersecurity and IT vendors and products. Products are assessed using the same criteria including functionality, usability, integration, scalability, governance, support, and customer feedback. 

The Expert Insights Cybersecurity Awards programme runs four times a year: three standard editions in Spring, Summer and Fall, each based on fresh research into the current market, plus the annual Cybersecurity Community Awards at the start of the year, where winners are chosen by a public vote of security professionals.

For our standard award campaigns, there is no application or self-nomination process. Products are selected for consideration through Expert Insights’ ongoing market research and editorial process. Vendors can contact the Expert Insights editorial team to share information about their products, which may be considered as part of future research.

No. The Expert Insights Cybersecurity Awards are based on independent editorial research and evaluation. Vendors cannot pay to enter and advertising or other commercial relationships with Expert Insights do not influence award decisions.
