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.
Winners to be Announced during our annual CISO Conference 2023
Finalists will be given the opportunity to present their solution to 100+ Top Global CISOs in the Innovators Showcase during our in-person, intimate invitation-only CISO conference taking place October 26 and 27th 2023 at the Ritz-Carlton, Orlando, Florida USA. We have very limited room for finalists to showcase their solutions, first-come first-served, and once the showcase is full, we still want to celebrate all of our winners. 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 with incredible high traffic websites and social media marketing and much more to help bolster the good news around our winners during CyberDefenseCon 2023.
NOMINATIONS ARE ACCEPTED AND SENT TO JUDGES ONCE THE NOMINATION FEE IS PAID…STREAMLINED ON ONE PAYMENT FORM.
Awards Open: Officially Open and Announced on May 1, 2023 – this is your opportunity to get in extra early.
Awards Close: Judging is immediate, on the fly, and the program closes on October 17, 2023.
This will be our 11th year in business and 11th Anniversary of our awards at the Cyber Defense Conference in 2023.
