The company was recognized for transforming enterprise security by revealing an organization’s cyber risk exposure across a growing attack surface, quickly orchestrating remediation, and monitoring the results.
For this sixth annual Best in Biz Awards there were more than 600 entries from public and private companies of all sizes and across a variety of industries and geographic regions in the U.S. and Canada. Winners were determined based on scoring from an independent panel of 50 judges from widely known newspapers, business, consumer and technology publications, TV outlets, and analyst firms.

“If companies are going to stand out from the crowd and remain competitive in future years, innovation is key,” said Charlie Osborne, ZDNet, one of the judges in the Best in Biz Awards. “This year’s entries in Best in Biz Awards highlighted not only innovative business practices but the emergence of next-generation technologies, which will keep companies current and relevant.”
"RiskSense is actively and innovatively addressing very real and growing threats to national, enterprise, and personal security by anticipating cyber-attacks, not just responding," added Annlee Ellingson, L.A. Biz, returning to judge her third Best in Biz Awards competition.
