Finalist in Two Leading UK Technology Awards

Great cybersecurity should be simple, scalable and built around real expertise. That belief has just earned Defense.com a place on the shortlist for two of the UK's most respected technology awards, celebrating both the strength of our platform and the momentum we're building with customers and channel partners.

We've been named a finalist for:

• Rising Star Security Vendor of the Year at the CRN Channel Awards 2026
• MSP of the Year at the National Cyber Awards 2026

Recognized by the UK Channel

Now in their 33rd year, the CRN Channel Awards are among the longest-running and most prestigious in the UK IT channel. The Rising Star Security Vendor of the Year category celebrates emerging vendors that help their UK channel partners build successful, profitable businesses.

For us, this shortlisting reflects the investment we're putting into our partner program and our commitment to giving MSPs and resellers a cybersecurity proposition that's straightforward to sell, deliver and scale. Winners will be announced at Battersea Evolution in London on 12 November 2026.

National Recognition for Our Managed Security Services

From hundreds of nominations, Defense.com has been chosen as one of just five finalists for MSP of the Year at the National Cyber Awards. The category honors managed service providers that take an innovative approach to protecting customers' IT infrastructure and end-user environments, with cybersecurity built in as a core part of the service. Winners will be announced at the Royal Lancaster London on 28 September 2026.

One Platform. Protection from Prevention Through to Response.

These two finalist places tell one story: powerful technology, backed by real expertise.

Our unified threat detection and response platform helps organizations protect identities, spot threats across their digital estate and respond with expert support when it matters most. For channel partners, it offers a scalable way to bring comprehensive cybersecurity to more customers without added cost or complexity.

Most of all, this recognition belongs to the entire Defense.com team, and to the customers and partners who support us, challenge us and help shape what we're building. We're incredibly proud to have reached the final of both awards, and we can't wait to celebrate alongside our fellow finalists later this year.
