Censornet has been nominated in the ‘Security Innovation of the Year’ category for the UK IT Industry Awards. Following a string of award nominations over the past year, this latest nomination continues to build on the company’s reputation as a prominent innovator within the security industry.

Censornet has received this recognition for its integrated security platform, which combines Email Security, Web Security, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). As a result, it provides organisations with greater visibility and control from a single management dashboard. The Platform adapts to how modern enterprises function by allowing security teams to efficiently and effectively manage core security defences, while giving users the freedom to access the applications and data they need, regardless of the device or location.

Ed Macnair, CEO of Censornet, said: “At Censornet, innovation is at the heart of everything that we do, so we are delighted to build on our recent awards success with this latest nomination. In a world overwhelmed with products, we believe in making security simple and effective to take the pressure off overworked security teams. Our innovative platform does just that, cutting through to the point and allowing security professionals to do more with less to keep their business secure.”

To keep pace with an ever-changing threat landscape, Censornet is always striving to further improve the platform with new technologies. Censornet created the Autonomous Security Engine (ASE) to enable traditionally siloed services to share security context, state data and events while leveraging world-class threat intelligence to provide 24/7 protection 365 days a year. As organisations increasingly move to the cloud to facilitate faster collaboration and communication, Censornet has also identified that many need help securing the popular Office 365 suite and launched Defence 365 this year as an all-inclusive solution for advanced protection and availability.
