Review Process

The submission deadline is Tuesday, August 31, 2021. Each submission will be reviewed by a cross-departmental team of Exabeam executives. Exabeam will announce finalists By mid-September, 2021.

Awards will be presented to the winner of each of the following categories at Spotlight21:

SecOps Vanguards

This award goes to a stand-out SecOps team who is at the forefront of strategy, technology, and implementation. They lead with vision, bringing executives and their entire organization along to understand that security is much more than just IT. This team utilizes Exabeam to its fullest capabilities, to understand normal versus abnormal behavior in their environment; quickly turning Level 1 analysts into Level 3 threat hunters.

CISO Innovator

This award goes to a CISO who excels as both a security and business leader. Through business-wide partnerships and cybersecurity education, this individual continues to innovate year over year to lead their organization's cybersecurity operations and improve their posture. This CISO and their teams also utilize Exabeam Fusion XDR and/or Exabeam Fusion SIEM products to their fullest capabilities.

SOC Warrior

The SOC Warrior award goes to an outstanding security engineer or security analyst on the front lines of defense at their organization, who contributes above and beyond each and every day. The SOC Warrior  stops at nothing to ensure their organization is protected at all times from adversaries. They have a beat on top industry solutions in-and outside of their security operations, and successfully translate their knowledge to business, technology, and security leaders as well as their peers.

The Mick Jenkins Leadership Award

Prior to becoming the CISO at Brunel University London, Mick Jenkins served in the Defence Intelligence branch of the British Armed Forces for 28 years, shared his cybersecurity expertise with the 2012 London Olympics leaders and for many years, advised the European Defence Agency. This aptly-named award recognizes the contributions of cybersecurity leaders who, like Mick Jenkins, share their experience beyond the perimeter of the business. These leaders actively educate others through published work, teaching and volunteering their time, ultimately impacting cybersecurity, and humanity, on a global scale.  

Community Leadership Award

The Community Leadership Award winner goes out of their way to engage with the Exabeam Customer Community to share wisdom and advice, answer questions, and serve as a helpful and supportive resource to peers time and time again.
