International Cloud Security Awards Program Announces Shortlist 

NEW YORK, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The shortlist for The 2025 Security Awards, operated by the global cloud computing awards body, The Cloud Awards, has been announced today.

The Security Awards provides a global recognition platform for technology providers at the forefront of cloud security. The awards program covers both broader excellence in cybersecurity – through categories such as ‘Cloud Security Innovator of the Year’ and ‘Best Cybersecurity Solution’ – to more specialized disciplines such as firewalls, security compliance, digital forensics, information security, and risk management.

The shortlist contains organizations headquartered all over the globe, and of varying sizes – from household names to emerging startups.

CEO of The Cloud Awards, James Williams, said: “We are delighted to announce the shortlist for The 2025 Security Awards – the third edition of this program.

“The importance of the work carried out in the cloud security industry seems to grow each year. Advances in AI continues to drive the evolution of new cyber threats, as well as offering a critical tool for detecting and tackling them. Meanwhile, the impact – both financial and reputational – of failures in cybersecurity continues to grow, and during 2024 seemed to occupy more space in the consciousness of the general public.

“The organizations that have made the shortlist in this year’s awards are shining examples of those leading the way in keeping personal and professional digital assets safe and secure. I’d like to offer my congratulations to them on this recognition, and wish them luck as we enter the next phase of the awards.”

The Security Awards judges will now start the second round of judging to determine which of the shortlistees are to be taken forwards to the finalist stage. Security Awards finalists will be announced on Tuesday April 15, with the winners then revealed in May.

The program will return to welcome new submissions in early 2026, to continue recognizing the latest advancements in cybersecurity.
