Optery is excited to announce our recognition as a winner in three categories by the 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards! With over 600 entries across more than 300 categories this year, these awards celebrate excellence, innovation, and leadership in the cybersecurity industry.
Optery has been honored in the following categories:
- Attack Surface Management
- Digital Footprint Management
- Employee Privacy Protection
Optery’s recognition in these categories highlights our commitment to effectively managing exposed executive and employee PII—commonly leveraged in social engineering, credential theft, and initial access attempts—and to protecting companies and their people from a variety of other PII-based threats, such as identity theft, doxing, and harassment, thus ensuring a safer and more private work environment.
“Today’s enterprise attack surfaces extend well beyond the traditional boundaries, encompassing exposed PII found across the vast array of data brokers online,” said Paul Mander, GM at Optery for Business. “Effectively managing these digital footprints and protecting employee privacy are therefore critical for comprehensive organizational security. We are grateful for Optery’s recognition in these pivotal categories.”
