ATTEND THE AWARDS

"It's an immense pleasure to oversee this year's SC Awards Europe. The 2025 awards saw huge numbers of entries, and in 2026, we're looking to provide opportunities for smaller businesses to shine, for the rising stars of our industry to be recognised, and for the wider industry to be considered for an award. We look forward to receiving your nominations and honouring the winners in June!"

THE GOLD STANDARD

These awards are an institution. For more than a quarter of a century, SC has been the cybersecurity industry's go-to for recognition.

A win is a powerful "trust signal" that immediately elevates you above the noise. It is the most powerful marketing and sales asset you can have in your arsenal.

THE ULTIMATE TEST

The judging panel is comprised of a hand-picked, independent jury of Europe's most senior cybersecurity leaders from end-user companies. A win means your product, team or service has passed the ultimate test.. It is a powerful, unbiased endorsement that speaks directly to the market.

WIN THE WAR FOR ELITE CYBER TALENT

The most talented security professionals want to work for the best, most respected organisations. An SC Award is a powerful beacon for attracting and retaining elite talent, signalling that your company is a place where innovative, industry-leading work is the standard.
