The Black Unicorn awards program is now part of the Top InfoSec Innovator awards program. With your paid entry into the Top InfoSec Innovator awards program, you will automatically be entered into the Black Unicorn awards program at no extra cost. Judges will independently determine Black Unicorns for 2026 from Top InfoSec Innovator entries based on their current status in the marketplace without any need for the innovator to fill out any additional forms or provide executive summaries.

The Top 25 Most Innovative Cybersecurity Companies in the World awards program is now part of the Top InfoSec Innovator awards program. With your paid entry into the Top InfoSec Innovator awards program, you will automatically be entered into the The Top 25 awards program at no extra cost. Judges will independently determine The Top 25 for 2026 from Top InfoSec Innovator entries based on their current status in the marketplace without any need for the innovator to fill out any additional forms or provide executive summaries.

Finalists, through paid Showcase sponsorship, will be giving the opportunity to present their solution in the The Top 25 Most Innovative Cybersecurity Companies in the World Showcase during our in-person intimate private invitation only CISO conference taking place October 20-21, 2026 at The Ritz-Carlton, Orlando, Florida USA, where 120+ Top Global CISOs gather each year. We have very limited room for finalists to showcase their solutions, first come first serve, and once the showcase is full, we still want to celebrate all of our winners so therefore, we've already setup the awards like last year - you do not have to be at the conference to win. We have a virtual red carpet already setup, again, with incredible high traffic website and social media marketing and much more to help bolster the good news around our winners during our 2nd half of 2026, 14th anniversary and 14th annual awards during CyberDefenseCon 2026.
