Sixth Annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Information Security People, Products and Companies
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CyberSecurity Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global information security market, today announced that iboss co-founder and CEO Paul Martini has been selected as winner of the "Cybersecurity Company CEO of the Year" award in the 6th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program.
iboss's co-founder and CEO Paul Martini holds over 230 patents in cloud cybersecurity and is a trusted expert on Zero Trust, a modern cybersecurity architecture designed to prevent ransomware, breaches and data loss by making all applications private. Zero Trust is now mandated to be implemented by two U.S. federal government executive orders.
iboss is a Zero Trust cloud security service that transforms the legacy "castle-and-moat" protection model that requires applications, data and users to be located within the office and instead delivers security through the cloud to where the data lives and the users work. The iboss cloud Zero Trust service enables users to connect directly to cloud applications from wherever they work while ensuring sensitive applications and data are private and inaccessible to hackers.
Martini has expertly spearheaded iboss as it enables the largest organizations in the world to secure their global and distributed workforces, including the largest energy company, largest payroll company, largest chip manufacturer and largest retail chains in the world. This was especially critical during the pandemic, in order to reduce and eliminate cyber breaches as users quickly moved from working in an office to working from home.
"This is an enormous honor. Thank you to CyberSecurity Breakthrough as I share this award with the entire iboss family. We see that both the future of work and the future of data is everywhere. iboss is proud to enable organizations of the future to remain secure while enabling the modern employee to be productive from wherever they work," said Martini. "We have set out to provide a single unified service edge to secure resources no matter where they are located. Built on our own global fabric, our unique containerized architecture provides each customer with their own source IP space, minimizing the size of the implicit trust zone in full compliance with NIST Zero Trust requirements. We will continue the work to secure these growing environments for our clients. I'm proud to have my team by my side along the way."
The mission of the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work and success in a range of information security categories, including Cloud Security, Threat Detection, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, Mobile Security, Email Security and many more. This year's program attracted more than 4,100 nominations from over 20 different countries throughout the world.
"The way people work has permanently changed from an in-office environment to a work from anywhere model. At the same time, the sensitive data and applications companies need to protect has moved from being hosted in the office to running in the cloud. This paradigm shift has resulted in an unprecedented number of cyber attacks and breaches as hackers have more access to vulnerable users and data that are located outside of the protection of the office," said James Johnson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. "Under Paul Martini's guidance iboss has risen to this challenge by protecting organizations globally from breaches and data loss. With Martini at the helm, iboss ensures productivity by enabling direct connections to the resources employees need to do their job while preventing data loss and cyberattacks. Congratulations on being our choice for 2022's 'Cybersecurity Company CEO of the Year.'"
Paul Martini has been recognized for his leadership and innovation, receiving the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award and being named one of Goldman Sachs' 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs. Martini has also been published in many scientific journals, including the Journal of Foundations in Computer Science and the Journal of Analytical Biochemistry.
