ICES 2026 will proudly present the prestigious Cyber OSPAs (Cyber Outstanding Security Performance Awards) and SSEAs (Security & Safety Excellence Awards)-internationally renowned honours that celebrate exceptional leadership, innovation, and resilience across the security landscape. Drawing inspiration from their acclaimed UK editions, these awards will spotlight outstanding entrepreneurs and visionaries from India and South Asia who are setting new benchmarks of excellence in the field.
The Cyber Outstanding Security Performance Awards (Cyber OSPAs) aim to recognise and celebrate exceptional achievements by organisations, individuals, products, and initiatives across the global cybersecurity landscape. What sets the Cyber OSPAs apart is their foundation in strong ethical principles-driven by values of independence, credibility, transparency, and respectability. Modelled on the highly respected Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) for the physical and corporate security sectors, and the Tackling Economic Crime Awards (TECAs), the Cyber OSPAs uphold the same trusted standards of integrity and excellence that define these internationally renowned programmes.
