Filigran Backs Security Serious Unsung Heroes Awards as New Sponsor
Brief
Nominations are open for the 2026 Security Serious Unsung Heroes Awards , celebrating the people working behind the scenes to make the UK safer and better protected from cyber threats. This year’s awards will take place on 20 October at Balfour St Barts in London, bringing together cybersecurity professionals, educators, researchers, journalists and industry leaders during Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
A new Best Academic Entrepreneur category has also been introduced for 2026, recognising academics who have taken cybersecurity research beyond the university environment and turned their ideas into viable businesses. The new category is supported by CyberASAP, the UK Government-backed Cyber Security Academic Start-Up Accelerator Programme, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.
