Nominees were judged based on cybersecurity initiatives introduced over the past two years that have changed the way the business is protected. They were also evaluated based on how they collaborated with and influenced their stakeholders to improve cybersecurity and resilience within the enterprise. Judges also assessed their contribution to the wider cybersecurity community beyond their organisations.

Nominations this year were received from Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The winners hold country, regional, and global roles within their respective organisations. Some are also responsible for security portfolios across the group.

In association with FPT, Blue Yonder, Digital Realty, Console Connect, IBM, SAS, AMD, SS&C Blue Prism, enreap, F5, TeamViewer, Flexera, and Expereo, winners were unveiled during an in-person awards ceremony at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, with more than 400 executives from across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong.
