PKWARE named finalist in two 2026 Cyber Defense Magazine InfoSec categories
PKWARE said it was named a finalist in Cyber Defense Magazine’s 2026 InfoSec Awards for Post Quantum Crypto and Data Security Platform.
PKWARE said Tuesday that it was named a finalist in two categories of Cyber Defense Magazine’s 2026 InfoSec Awards: Post Quantum Crypto and Data Security Platform.
The Milwaukee-based company said the recognition comes as it works with customers planning for data protection in cloud systems, vendor environments and AI pipelines. PKWARE said its platform is designed to protect data itself rather than relying only on perimeter defenses.
According to the company’s release dated Aug. 4, PKWARE has operated for 40 years and serves more than 1,200 customers. The release listed JPMorgan Chase, Citi, Bank of America and Fiserv as examples. It said the platform combines AI-powered discovery, automated classification and persistent protection, along with encryption, masking, redaction and quantum-ready cryptography.
Tonya Cannady, PKWARE’s president and chief revenue officer, said in the release that the recognition reflects protection that reaches where customers’ data lives and keeps up on its own. Cyber Defense Magazine publisher Gary S. Miliefsky said judges look for understanding tomorrow’s threats today, a cost-effective solution and new ways to reduce cyber risk.
Cyber Defense Magazine said its InfoSec Awards run through October. Winners are scheduled to be announced at CyberDefenseCon 2026, set for Oct. 20-21 in Orlando.
