Recognized in SOC-as-a-Service, Security Monitoring, OT Security and Managed Security Service categories.
HWG Sababa is proud to announce that HyperSOC® has received four 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards – Community Choice, recognizing the platform’s role in delivering advanced Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Security Operations services.
The awards recognize HyperSOC® in the following categories:
Organized by Cybersecurity Insiders, the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards have recognized innovation and excellence across the global cybersecurity industry for more than a decade. Unlike the jury-based awards presented earlier this year, the Community Choice Awards are determined directly by votes from the cybersecurity community, reflecting the visibility, engagement and support that nominees receive across the industry.
According to the organizers, the 2026 Community Choice Awards collected more than 79,000 eligible votes, with Security Operations, Threat and Exposure Management, and AI Security emerging as the areas attracting the strongest community interest. The results reflect the growing importance organizations place on modern security operations capable of continuously detecting, investigating and responding to evolving cyber threats.
For HWG Sababa, these recognitions further validate the company’s long-term strategy of combining expert analysts, AI-driven automation and an integrated cybersecurity operating model through HyperSOC®.
Designed to protect modern IT, OT, cloud and hybrid environments, HyperSOC® combines continuous monitoring, advanced threat detection, incident response and security orchestration to help organizations strengthen cyber resilience while reducing operational complexity.
The recognition also builds on a year of significant independent industry validation for HWG Sababa, including analyst recognition, strategic technology partnerships and multiple international cybersecurity awards.
“Community recognition has a special value because it reflects the confidence and engagement of cybersecurity professionals, customers and partners,” said Alessio Aceti, CEO of HWG Sababa. “Receiving four Community Choice Awards confirms that our vision for modern security operations resonates with the market and motivates us to continue innovating our HyperSOC®.”
HWG Sababa thanks everyone who supported HyperSOC® throughout the voting process and remains committed to continuously advancing its security operations capabilities to help organizations strengthen cyber resilience against an increasingly complex threat landscape.
