Key Deadline: Nominate before 5th June 2026.
Our mission has always been to champion the incredible talent within our region, which is why we are excited to partner with The National Cyber Awards 2026.
Recognising excellence is key to raising standards across the entire industry. The National Cyber Awards celebrate the achievements of the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes to protect our systems, data, and people. Cyber is central to every business, but recognition is not often given where it is deserved, and The National Cyber Awards aims to change this.
In the North East in particular, we understand how important it is to celebrate achievements that are often overlooked. CyberNorth recognises local achievement through our CyberFest Awards, but we believe that our region’s exceptional talent is worthy of National recognition.
The North East has long been a powerhouse of innovation, but the incredible cyber talent in our region is often overlooked. Our partnership with the National Cyber Awards aims to bridge the gap between our regional community and the national ecosystem and highlight the amazing work that goes on here. CyberNorth is supporting a cause we strongly believe in and shining a spotlight on the awards in our region to encourage applications from the people who make our cyber security sector so exceptional.
The National Cyber Awards are a brilliant platform to showcase the people driving progress in cyber security, and the North East deserves a place on that platform.
This is a call to action for our local community.
The talent in the North East is exceptional. Now is your chance to ensure our region receives the recognition it deserves. Don’t delay. Submit your nominations now and champion our regional superstars.
Free to Enter: The awards are completely free to enter, ensuring that excellence is recognised regardless of the size or sector of your organisation.
Broad Categories: There are 10 awards available, spanning a range of topics. Some of our favourites include the Innovation Award, Security Team of the Year Award, and The Startup in Cyber Award. There’s something for everyone.
We are incredibly proud to support an initiative that aligns so closely with our ambitions for the future of cyber security. Let’s show the rest of the UK the strength of the North East’s cyber community.
Submit your nominations today at thenationalcyberawards.org/apply-nominate/.
Key Deadline: You have until 5th June 2026 to submit your nominations.
The Big Event: Finalists will be celebrated at a prestigious black-tie ceremony on 28th September 2026 at the Royal Lancaster, London
