Carvana Wins CSO Award for Innovative Security Approach

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Carvana (NYSE: CVNA), the leading e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars, was named a 2024 CSO Award recipient by Foundry’s CSO (an IDG company). This prestigious award recognizes 50 organizations for a security project or initiative that demonstrates outstanding business value and thought leadership in the fields of security and risk management.

Carvana’s award-winning security project harnessed the power of cutting-edge phantom token technology to reduce friction and improve security in the Carvana site authentication experience.

"This recognition is a testament to our relentless commitment to raising the bar for our customers through innovative, secure, and efficient technology solutions," said Dina Mathers, who leads Information Security at Carvana.
