This week, Proofpoint was recognized with top honors in two categories at the 2023 CISO Choice Awards, including Premier Security Company and best Security Awareness Training for Proofpoint Security Awareness

A first-of-its-kind vendor recognition selected by a board of CISO judges – prominent security chiefs who have built and maintained their own programs – the CISO Choice Awards is a buyer's guide for their peers when selecting the technologies that effectively protect people and defend data. Now in its fourth year, the awards honor security vendors of all sizes, types, and maturity levels, recognizing top-tier differentiated solutions from innovative security solution providers worldwide. 

CISOs bring real-world perspectives, and the CISO Choice Awards judges understand that the critical parts of the attack chain can’t be effectively combatted without taking a people-centric approach. Deploying a layered approach to cybersecurity that includes risk identification, mitigation, and security awareness training is crucial for protecting organizations against today's modern threats.
