Bluefin Wins 2025 Fortress Cybersecurity Award for ShieldConex® Orchestration
Bluefin was honored in the category of Leading Cybersecurity Products and Services for its ShieldConex® Orchestration platform – an innovative, processor-agnostic solution that empowers enterprises to orchestrate payment and sensitive data security across providers, platforms, and use cases without sacrificing control, scalability, or compliance.
The Fortress Cybersecurity Awards recognize the world's leading companies and executives who are working to keep data and systems secure in an increasingly complex threat landscape. Winners are selected based on their commitment to innovation, measurable impact, and the advancement of cybersecurity best practices.
'The volume and complexity of threats facing organizations today is growing by the minute,' said Russ Fordyce, CEO of the Business Intelligence Group. 'The winners of this year's Fortress Cybersecurity Awards are not only keeping up – they're setting the pace. We're proud to honor Bluefin for building systems and solutions that make us all more secure.'
Bluefin's ShieldConex Orchestration platform stood out to judges for its unique approach to solving a persistent challenge in the payments ecosystem: proprietary tokenization and vendor lock-in. ShieldConex eliminates these barriers through vaultless, real-time tokenization and detokenization, enabling secure, flexible handling of payment, personally identifiable information (PII), and protected health information (PHI) across multiple processors and partners.
In addition, ShieldConex offers processor-agnostic point-to-point encryption (P2PE) for card-present transactions, allowing organizations to choose from Bluefin's certified P2PE devices regardless of processor compatibility. The result is a powerful, unified orchestration layer that secures and routes card-present payments, card-not-present transactions, and sensitive data – all without sacrificing choice, scalability, or compliance.
'We're proud to be recognized with this prestigious award for ShieldConex Orchestration,' said John M. Perry, CEO of Bluefin. 'As the cybersecurity stakes continue to rise, organizations need more than just protection – they need control, flexibility, and independence in how they secure and manage data. ShieldConex delivers on that vision. This award is a testament to our team's relentless drive to innovate, anticipate the next wave of threats, and empower our clients to own and protect their data on their terms.'
