LONDON and NEW YORK, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Security Awards – operated by international awards body The Cloud Awards – has today named its finalists, featuring some of the industry’s leading names in cloud security from across the globe.

Entering its fourth year, the annual program recognizes overall cloud security excellence and innovation. Specialized solutions focused on areas such as web security, identity access management, and information security are among the categories – as are solutions supporting enterprises in complex areas such as compliance.

The finalists comprise organizations headquartered across the globe, of varying sizes – from large multinationals to emerging startups.

CEO of The Cloud Awards, James Williams, said: “We’re very proud to reveal the finalists of The 2026 Security Awards, and congratulate each organization that has reached this pivotal milestone.”

“The judges have had a tough, yet rewarding, task in determining which of our fantastic shortlistees were to take the step forwards to the finals. Those that have reached it have been able to demonstrate not only the agility to keep on top of modern cyber threats, but have been able to prove their value to their customers or users – a critical differentiator in modern times.”

“Cloud security remains one of the most dynamic areas of cloud computing, exemplified by this year’s finalists. We wish them all well as they vie to become the ‘best of’ in their particular area of speciality.”

The Security Awards judges will now start their third and final round of assessments to select a winner in each category. Security Awards winners will be announced on Tuesday, June 2.
