Cyber Defense Magazine, Global InfoSec Award

Cyber Defense Magazine recognized AlgoSec in its 2026 Global InfoSec Awards for applying AI to the problems that matter most in modern network security: understanding applications, prioritizing risk by business impact, and automating policy across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Every year, Cyber Defense Magazine evaluates thousands of cybersecurity vendors worldwide to identify the innovators shaping the future of the industry. In the 2026 awards, published as part of the RSAC edition, AlgoSec was named a winner for Trailblazing AI-Powered Cybersecurity Solutions a category dedicated to companies that use artificial intelligence to solve real operational challenges rather than add surface-level features.

About the Global InfoSec Awards

The Global InfoSec Awards are one of the cybersecurity industry's most established recognition programs. Cyber Defense Magazine's judging panel made up of certified cybersecurity professionals with decades of combined experience evaluates entrants on criteria including innovation, impact on the industry, ability to solve real-world problems, and measurable value delivered to customers. Only a small percentage of entries are selected each year, and the program is widely respected across the CISO and security architect community.

Why AlgoSec was recognized

AlgoSec's recognition reflects a broader strategic direction: AI should not be another alert stream or an isolated feature it should change how security is managed. The capabilities that stood out to the judging panel include:

• Horizon AppViz automatic discovery and continuous mapping of business applications to the network flows and security policies that support them.

• AI-driven risk prioritization contextual scoring that highlights the risks most likely to affect the business, instead of an undifferentiated queue of technical findings.

• Intelligent change automation recommendations and automation that translate business intent into the correct policy changes across firewalls, cloud security groups, and SDN fabrics.

• Algo AI Assistant a natural-language interface that helps security teams investigate, plan, and execute changes with greater speed and confidence.

Together, these capabilities represent a shift from reactive security operations toward intelligent, application-aware automation exactly the evolution that Cyber Defense Magazine's program was designed to reward.

What it means for customers

Enterprise security teams are being asked to do more with less manage more cloud platforms, support more applications, meet more compliance mandates, and do all of this under tighter change windows. AI, applied well, is what makes that sustainable. The Global InfoSec Award is independent confirmation that AlgoSec's approach is not just a product direction, but a practical answer to the challenges security leaders face every day.
