Cyber Defense Magazine, a respected voice in the cybersecurity sphere, for over a decade honors forward-thinking companies and leaders in its annual Global InfoSec Awards. This year, the expert jury selected only about 10% out of more than 3,000 contenders worldwide. According to CDM, winners stood out by 'delivering tomorrow's cybersecurity solutions today.'

Regula's technology doesn't rely on static scans or uploaded photos. As the only technology that verifies all dynamic security features in IDs, it analyzes real documents and thus is able to detect even the most sophisticated forgeries.

Earlier in 2025, Regula earned Gold in the Globee Awards for Cybersecurity in the Identity Proofing and Corroboration category, marking an advancement over the Silver award of the previous year.

Whether it's protecting against deepfakes or helping professionals make sense of complex identity documents, our focus remains the same: provide secure, science-driven tools and insights our customers can trust,' says Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula.
