How Is the Competition Judged?
Our judges are the experts, so we ask them to rank all the companies that enter based on their own criteria. We then cross-reference their rankings to generate our top 40 companies in cybersecurity.
Important! Advice From The Judges
Use the first line to describe your business, what it does and what you are about in two sentences…what makes you tick?
With our judges reading through hundreds of applications, we are looking for a clear description of your business, its concept, its success and plans for growth.
Try to avoid waffle, and discuss your business clearly and concisely.
