Eskenzi PR has today announced the winners of the eighth annual Security Serious Unsung Heroes Awards. The event took place last night at Balfour St Barts in London and celebrated the UK’s cybersecurity professionals, teachers, lecturers, leaders and those working to make the industry not only more secure, but also more diverse and healthier for employees. Key sponsors included KnowBe4, Cyber Security Navigator, Pulse Conferences, Bora and the Zensory.
“These awards are so different from other pay-to-play industry awards – they’re all about the real people in cybersecurity. The cyber professionals quietly going about their jobs, protecting our businesses and our country and importantly, ensuring that these people are looked after and that new and diverse talent is coming up through the ranks,” said Yvonne Eskenzi, lead organiser for the event and director of Eskenzi PR.
