2026 SC Awards finalists announced ahead of RSA Conference

For nearly three decades, the SC Awards have served as a benchmark for excellence in cybersecurity, spotlighting the companies and individuals whose work strengthens defenses, advances innovation, and elevates the practice of information security.

Now in its 29th year, the program continues to reflect both the growth of the industry and the rising expectations placed on security leaders and solution providers.

The 2026 awards cycle drew an impressive 497 submissions across 33 categories, representing the depth and diversity of today’s cybersecurity ecosystem. From emerging technologies to established market leaders, each entry was carefully reviewed by a distinguished panel of 39 judges who volunteered their time and expertise to evaluate impact, innovation, and execution.

Today, we are proud to announce the 2026 SC Awards finalists — organizations and leaders who stand out in a field defined by constant change and relentless threats. Their work not only addresses today’s challenges, but helps shape the future of cybersecurity.

Winners will be announced at RSA Conference 2026 in San Francisco on March 24, where the industry will gather to celebrate achievement, resilience, and forward-thinking leadership.
