CxB announced as finalist in National Cyber Security Awards

CxB is delighted to announce that it has been named a finalist in the Not for Profit category at the National Cyber Awards 2026, with the winners being announced at the Royal Lancaster London on 28th September 2026.

The National Cyber Awards recognise the individuals, teams and organisations driving meaningful progress in cybersecurity across the UK, spanning innovation, leadership and real-world impact. The event brings together leaders from across industry, government, law enforcement and academia at a time when cyber threats continue to evolve, and the need for resilience across organisations and critical infrastructure has never been greater.

Reaching the shortlist is a recognition of CxB's contribution to UK cybersecurity, selected from a competitive field of entries from across the sector.

David Jones, Chair of CxB, said: "We've been supporting boards and non-executives to play their part in driving cyber resilience since 2023. Since then the importance of board-level cyber governance has shot up the agenda. We're so pleased to see this issue getting the recognition it deserves."

Professor Richard Benham, Founder of the National Cyber Awards and Chair of Future Tech Events: "We are pleased to recognise CxB as a finalist in the National Cyber Awards 2026. The calibre of entries this year reflects the breadth and depth of work happening across the UK to keep individuals, organisations and critical systems secure. Cybersecurity depends on people and teams who often operate without recognition, these awards exist to change that. We look forward to celebrating CxB and all of this year's finalists."
