• Wins four categories at Cyber Defense Magazine’s 2024 InfoSec Awards, including Cybersecurity Visionary and Machine Identity Management
• Named Identity Management Platform of the Year in the 2024 Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards
• Anetac’s real-time approach to non-human identity security is recognized by leading industry experts amid growing enterprise demand for dynamic identity protection solutions

LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Anetac, a Silicon Valley startup protecting companies from identity-based vulnerabilities in hybrid environments, has won four categories in Cyber Defense Magazine’s 2024 InfoSec Awards: Cybersecurity Visionary, Identity Security, Identity Security Posture Management and Machine Identity Management.

The company was also named Identity Management Platform of the Year in the 2024 Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards, marking growing industry recognition for its dynamic approach to identity security.

“These awards validate our transformation of the identity security landscape,” said Tim Eades, CEO and co-founder of Anetac. “Having our dynamic approach recognized by leading infosec experts is particularly meaningful as we address one of cybersecurity’s most critical challenges—non-human identity security.”

“Anetac embodies three major features we judges look for with the potential to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.

Global cybersecurity investment has surpassed $200 billion this year as organizations combat sophisticated threats through cloud adoption, stricter regulations and AI integration. The Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards recognize pioneering companies delivering cutting-edge solutions in this expanding market.
