Nominations and submissions are now open for the annual Australian Cyber Awards 2025.
Now in its third year, the Australian Cyber Awards brings the industry an unparalleled awards program to identify top businesses and professionals in the country’s cyber sector.
Following a successful couple of years for the awards program, Cyber Daily is once again calling on Australia’s top-performing cyber professionals to submit an entry or nominate a colleague or business by Tuesday, 4 February 2025, for a chance to be honoured for excellence at the Australian Cyber Awards 2025.
With an emphasis on people and businesses rather than products and platforms, the Australian Cyber Awards showcases all cyber stakeholders – from defence, insurance, cloud services, and technology through to those working in STEM, consultancy, and ransomware protection.
The awards are open to all businesses operating in Australia supporting the cyber supply chain and are coveted accolades for organisations and professionals seeking to cement a role in cyber.
There are 14 individual categories on offer, including CISO of the Year, Cyber Security Lawyer of the Year, Cyber Security Rising Star, and Female Cyber Security Leader of the Year.
Among the 15 group categories, Threat Detection Business of the Year, Research Institution of the Year, Cloud Service Provider of the Year, and Indigenous Cyber Security Business of the Year are open for businesses to submit an entry.
The awards will culminate in a black-tie gala on Tuesday, 29 April 2025, at Ilumina in Sydney. Click here to buy tickets.
