CSO Next Awards
The CSO Next Awards identify the rising stars in security—staff who are destined to become the CSOs of the future. To be honored, candidates must have demonstrated excellence in a particular, focused area within security, delivering value to the business.
Each nomination is reviewed and judged by the CSO editorial team. Awards will be presented to the honorees during the CSO Perspective Conference.
