Cyber Defense Magazine's 13th Annual Awards taking place during CyberDefenseCon 2025 in Orlando Florida
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cyber Defense Magazine, the industry's leading electronic information security magazine, is announcing availability of the Black Unicorn Report for 2025 during CyberDefenseCon 2025, the most exclusive and prestigious CISO and cybersecurity innovator conference in the world, taking place today at The Ritz Carlton, Orlando, Florida, USA at https://www.cyberdefenseconferences.com.
We only allowed a small number of companies based on their funding, sales growth and scalability to be judged as Black Unicorns. Based on funding, sales and execution, only 10 companies are selected as Winners each year, with up to 50 finalists. We also found very innovative companies that are not quite yet on the $1B trajectory and they are also listed in our Top InfoSec Innovators awards for 2025. You will find all finalists and winners worthy of our attention and yours – you may find that they offer a unique solution missing in your cybersecurity portfolio.
