GLOBALLY RECOGNIZED, HIGHLY COVETED:
RISE ABOVE THE NOISE!
Winners to be Announced during our annual CISO Conference 2023
The Black Unicorn awards program is now part of the Top InfoSec Innovator awards program. Judges will independently determine Black Unicorns for 2023 from Top InfoSec Innovator entries based on their current status in the marketplace without any need for the innovator to fill out any additional forms or provide executive summaries.
Finalists will be giving the opportunity to present their solution in the Top InfoSec Innovators showcase during our in-person intimate private invitation only CISO conference taking place October 26 and 27th 2023 at the Ritz-Carlton, Orlando, Florida USA, where more than 100 Top Global CISOs gather each year. We have very limited room for finalists to showcase their solutions, first come first serve, and once the showcase is full, we still want to celebrate all of our winners so therefore, we’ve already setup the awards like last year – you do not have to be at the conference to win. We have a virtual red carpet already setup, again, with incredible high traffic website and social media marketing and much more to help bolster the good news around our winners during our 2nd half of 2023, 11th anniversary and 11th annual awards during CyberDefenseCon 2023.
