Eskenzi PR today announced the winners of the ninth annual Security Serious Unsung Heroes Awards. The event took place last night at Balfour St Barts in London and celebrated the UK cybersecurity industry’s exceptional professionals, teachers, leaders, educators, and those working to create a healthier and more diverse industry. Key sponsors included KnowBe4, Check Point Software, ThinkCyber, The Zensory, Hornetsecurity and Pulse Conferences. The event was also supported by Security on Screen, Computer Weekly and The IT Security Guru.
“The Security Serious Unsung Heroes Awards proudly celebrate the ‘real’ people in cybersecurity, those who go above and beyond to protect our businesses and our country. These people are often under-appreciated, not least because cyber is an often thankless career,” said Yvonne Eskenzi, Lead Organiser for the event and Director of Eskenzi PR. “These awards, which are free to enter and attend, also celebrate the new and diverse talent coming up through the ranks, too. Congratulations to all the nominees and winners!”
