NAKIVO Named Finalist In Cyber Defense Magazine’s 14 th Annual InfoSec Awards
NAKIVO announced today that it has been named a finalist in both the Top InfoSec Innovator Awards and the Top 25 Most Innovative Cybersecurity Companies in the World 2026 by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine.
Judging continues through October 2026. Winners will be announced online, in print and during CyberDefenseCon 2026, taking place October 20–21, 2026, at The Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida, USA. Select winners will also have the opportunity to showcase their innovative solutions to global CISOs attending the invitation-only conference.
“We’re thrilled to be recognized as a finalist in two of the most prestigious and coveted Cyber Defense Awards in the world. We knew the competition would be tough, and with top judges who are leading infosec experts from around the globe, we couldn’t be more pleased,” said Sergey Serdyuk, a VP of Product Management at NAKIVO.
“NAKIVO embodies three major features we judges look for with the potential to become winners: Understanding tomorrow’s threats today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
This latest recognition adds to NAKIVO’s industry accolades in 2026, following Sergey Serdyuk’s recognition as a Security Innovator for his leadership in advancing practical, forward-looking data protection and cyber resilience strategies.
The recognition also follows ongoing product development at NAKIVO, including support for Proxmox VE 9.2 and NAKIVO VMware data replication in real time for vSphere 9 environments. These updates reflect NAKIVO’s continued focus on supporting evolving virtual infrastructures while helping organizations strengthen data protection and ransomware resilience across hybrid environments.
