CyberShark Pitch Competition Names Finalists from First Round of 2025 Event Series
BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hosted by LaunchTech Communications, a CyberRisk Alliance (CRA) resource specializing in PR and AR services for the cybersecurity industry, the CyberShark Pitch Competition today announced the first two finalists to advance in the 2025 program. By providing a platform for emerging companies to showcase their innovative solutions, we're not just identifying potential game-changers, we're actively investing in the future of cybersecurity. Share The CyberShark Pitch Competition provides emerging cybersecurity companies with an opportunity to pitch their product and receive feedback from Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs). During the in-person event held the week of RSA Conference, CISO judges from a variety of industries – including insurance, technology, food and beverage, pharmaceutical distribution, manufacturing, financial services, and more – voted to determine which presentation conveyed the most distinct value proposition and clear messaging. 'Not only did our exceptional panel of judges generously offer their time and deep cybersecurity expertise, but they also brought an incredibly meaningful level of enthusiasm to engage with the early-stage participants,' said Taylor Hadley, Vice President, LaunchTech Communications. 'Their thoughtful post-pitch feedback ensured that each pitching company received immediate, actionable feedback on their messaging, positioning, and product-market fit in a supportive, low-pressure environment.' Congratulations to the finalists! 2025 CyberShark Pitch Competition 'Round 1' Finalists: Dropzone AI – Provides pre-trained autonomous AI SOC analysts that work tirelessly alongside human teams. RapidFort – Eliminates 95% of software vulnerabilities without code changes through its attack surface management platform and near-zero CVE images. This round of the pitch event was particularly competitive, with each participating company demonstrating exceptional preparedness and exciting technological advancements. During the judging process, the CISO panel consistently commented on a few key elements of a strong pitch. These included: the value of delivering a clear problem statement, while avoiding FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt); addressing how the product integrates with other systems and how it fits into the broader cybersecurity landscape; and providing examples of how the product performs in real-world scenarios demonstrates measurable benefits. "The CyberShark Pitch Competition exemplifies the community spirit of our CISO network," said Dustin Sachs, Chief Technologist and Senior Director of Programs with the CyberRisk Collaborative. "By providing a platform for emerging companies to showcase their innovative solutions, we're not just identifying potential game-changers, we're actively investing in the future of cybersecurity. This program is a win-win; cybersecurity vendors gain invaluable feedback to inform their go to market strategy and exposure to potential word of mouth referrals, and our CISO community gains insight into breakthrough solutions and serve to potentially influence how these companies ultimately meet market needs." "We established this program to ensure our clients have the opportunity to validate their solutions and interact directly with industry decision makers,' said Wayne Schepens, Chief Cyber Market Analyst of CyberRisk Alliance. "CyberShark allows vendors to gather valuable input, identify champions, validate their messaging and test their solutions against others. For vendors, there is no better test than pitching industry CISOs in a competitive environment; and for buyers there is no better way for them to play a role in the direction of future innovation. We look forward to continuing this initiative while making it available to more and more practitioners and technology producers.' A second opportunity to pitch CISO judges in person will take place during the week of Black Hat USA 2025, where two more finalists will advance in the CyberShark Pitch Competition. Those finalists, and the finalists from RSA Conference, will go head-to-head in the final round of the competition taking place virtually as part of a live broadcast in the fall of 2025. All 2,000+ members of CyberRisk Collaborative will be invited to participate as judges in the final round. More information about CyberShark can be found here.

ESET Wins SC Award for Ransomware Remediation 2025
ESET announced that ESET Ransomware Remediation has won a 2025 SC Award for Best Business Continuity, Disaster, Ransomware Recovery Solution. Presented on April 29 during the SC Awards Reception at RSAC 2025, this award recognizes ESET's advanced Ransomware Remediation technology and its pivotal role in helping organizations mitigate ransomware threats and recover swiftly from attacks. The SC Awards program, now in its 28th year, recognizes the solutions, organizations, and individuals that have demonstrated outstanding achievement in advancing the security of information systems. 'We are truly honored by this recognition, which affirms our belief that ransomware defense must go beyond prevention and empower speedy, seamless recovery,' said Ryan Grant, VP of Marketing and Sales at ESET North America. 'With ESET Ransomware Remediation, we've built a solution that not only stops attacks in their tracks but also gives businesses the ability to bounce back quickly and confidently. It's a critical step toward a future where organizations aren't just reacting to threats, but are truly resilient in the face of them.' ESET Ransomware Remediation, part of the ESET PROTECT platform, distinguishes itself by creating temporary encrypted backups in a sequestered environment, enabling rapid data recovery even in the event of encryption by ransomware. Unlike solutions reliant on the Windows Volume Shadow Copy service, ESET's proprietary approach works post-execution, in concert with ESET Ransomware Shield, to detect, block, and recover from ransomware attacks with minimal disruption. The SC Awards celebrate the most outstanding achievements in cybersecurity, from innovative technologies to forward-thinking organizations and individuals. The 2025 entries were evaluated across 33 specialty categories by a distinguished panel of judges, comprised of cybersecurity professionals, industry leaders, and members of the CyberRisk Alliance CISO community, representing sectors such as healthcare, financial services, education, and technology. The judging process emphasized technical merit, market impact, and the ability to solve real-world cybersecurity challenges. View the full list of 2025 SC Awards winners here: 'This year's winners rose to the top, but they did so in a field crowded with standout talent, bold ideas, and hard-earned innovation,' said Tom Spring, Senior Editorial Director, SC Media. 'With more than 160 finalists and hundreds of submissions, the 2025 SC Awards reflect the depth, diversity, and dynamism of the cybersecurity community.' 'SC Awards are recognized worldwide by the cybersecurity community, and we are honored to take home the Best Business Continuity, Disaster, Ransomware Recovery Solution award this year,' said Tony Anscombe, Chief Security Evangelist for ESET. 'Cybersecurity solutions are evolving at breakneck speed, and these innovations are on full display this week at RSAC 2025. It was a pleasure to be recognized alongside some of the most innovative cybersecurity vendors in the industry at the SC Media Awards Ceremony.' 0 0
