Cybersecurity Insiders has announced the recipients of the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards during the RSA Conference. The awards honor distinguished cybersecurity companies, products, and professionals.

The primary theme for this year was AI security, which attracted numerous nominations and intense competition. Categories included AI governance, agentic security, runtime protection, AI-powered threat detection, identity, and data protection.

"A year ago, most AI security nominations focused on governance and acceptable use," stated Holger Schulze, CEO of Cybersecurity Insiders. "This year, the focus shifted to purpose-built solutions for securing autonomous AI agents, reflecting a significant pace of innovation."

The awards have raised questions about the adequacy of enterprise defenses in the face of rapid AI-driven changes. Cybersecurity Insiders is conducting an AI Defense Gap survey during the RSA Conference, engaging over 150 CISOs and senior security leaders. The survey aims to evaluate the effectiveness of current defenses against AI-driven risks and identify areas that require improvement.

The survey findings will be published post-conference and made available to the cybersecurity community.

Their reports highlight practical breakdowns in security strategies, aiding organizations in benchmarking their maturity, identifying capability gaps, and prioritizing necessary actions.

The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, now in their second decade, celebrate the entities addressing these gaps effectively.
