Cognyte Recognized in the Global InfoSec Awards 2026 for Innovation in Digital Risk Protection and Threat Intelligence
Cognyte was recognized in the Global InfoSec Awards 2026 with two major honors: Market Innovator in Digital Risk Protection (DRP) and Trailblazing in Threat Intelligence.
What are the Global InfoSec Awards?
The Global InfoSec Awards, presented annually by Cyber Defense Magazine, recognize cybersecurity companies and solutions that demonstrate innovation, impact and leadership in addressing today’s evolving threat landscape. Unlike many awards that focus purely on scale or market presence, these awards are judged by independent security experts who evaluate how effectively vendors solve real-world challenges.
These awards highlight Cognyte’s continued focus on helping agencies and organizations address one of the most pressing challenges in cybersecurity today, managing risk across the external threat landscape.
Why Digital Risk Protection is a Priority in 2026
In 2026, the nature of cyber threats has fundamentally shifted. Attackers are no longer focused only on breaching internal networks. Instead, they are targeting organizations through external channels such as phishing infrastructure, credential leaks, brand impersonation and activity across the clear web, dark web and closed communities. This has made Digital Risk Protection a critical capability for identifying and disrupting threats before they escalate.
The Threat Intelligence Challenge: Signal vs. Noise
At the same time, the volume of threat data has grown exponentially. Security teams are inundated with alerts and indicators, making it increasingly difficult to separate signal from noise. This is where modern threat intelligence plays a vital role, providing the context, prioritization and guidance needed to turn data into actionable decisions.
How LUMINAR Addresses Both Challenges
