The CSO50 Award recognizes 50 organizations for security projects and initiatives that demonstrate outstanding business value and thought leadership. The awards are scored according to a uniform set of criteria by a panel of judges that includes security leaders, industry experts, and academics. This is an opportunity to share with your peers the risk and security innovations that led the way to greater success for your organization. Because the award is given to companies rather than individuals, it’s an honor that everyone on your staff can take pride in.

For questions regarding the Awards Program please contact, csoevents@csoonline.com.

Nominations are now closed.
