“Weak and stolen credentials are still a primary attack vector and organizations need to consider protecting themselves with a truly integrated cloud security platform,” said Ed Macnair, CEO, CensorNet. “Our adaptive multi-factor authentication solution improves an organization’s control and visibility over data that employees can view and gives absolute certainty as to who someone is and where they are. We are excited to be recognized by SC Media as it further validates our mission to develop technology sophistication greater than those that seek to break down its walls.”

The SC Awards, now in its 20th year, are recognized throughout the industry as the gold standard of excellence in cyber security. With the awards, SC Media recognizes the achievements of cybersecurity professionals in the field, the innovations happening in the vendor and service provider communities, and the vigilant work of government, commercial and non-profit entities. Vendors and service providers who offer a product and/or service for the commercial, government, educational, non-profit or other industries are eligible for the SC Awards’ Trust Award category.

“Ransomware, nation-state cyber-attacks, IoT vulnerabilities, data privacy issues and more are dominating the headlines right now and it’s critical that we amplify the importance of these problems and highlight the actions organizations can take to safeguard their organizations and their critical data assets,” said Illena Armstrong, VP, editorial, SC Media. “As bad actors are constantly changing strategy, so too are the men, women and companies endeavouring to stop them in their tracks. These finalists have shown that they are the best at what they do.”

“CensorNet has demonstrated that they are among the best in the industry at multi-factor authentication,” added Armstrong of SC Media. “Being a Trust award nominee is a special honor as it demonstrates that you are at the top of your game, and your peers know it.”
