European Cybersecurity Blogger Awards
The European Cybersecurity Blogger Awards recognises the best bloggers, vloggers, tweeters and podcasters in the industry.
Attended by the dedicated and brilliantly talented cybersecurity blogger community, CISOs and a number of other industry VIPs, the annual awards are an unmissable networking opportunity for anyone in the know.
The event typically takes place on the evening of the first day of Infosecurity Europe. We aim for around 120 attendees, which in the past have included the likes of Troy Hunt, the creator of Have I Been Pwned and other well-known bloggers like Graham Cluley, Carole Theriault and Geoff White.
Proud Supporter of White Hat
The European Cybersecurity Blogger Awards is proud to support the NSPCC’s Childline at our events. On the night, we hold a wonderful prize draw, where all funds raised go directly to Childline. Our Co-Founder Neil Stinchcombe is the chairman for the White Hat Ball, a fundraising event for the NSPCC founded by the cybersecurity industry. Check them both out today…
Nomination Process
01: The First Round
The first round of voting consists of a nomination phase. You can nominate as many of your favourite cybersecurity blogs, vlogs, podcasts and social media accounts as you like until the 25th April 2025.
02: The Vote
Once the nominations have been gathered, we will commence a second round, where you can vote for your favourites of the nominations in each category until the 27th May 2025. These will be tallied up and points will be awarded to the top performers in each category – highest number of votes receives maximum points (based on how many are in each category), down to the least popular which will receive 1 point.
03: Head To Head
Round three will see nominees in each category go head to head in front of a panel of esteemed judges. The judges’ favourites will also be weighted with a point system – based on their top five favourites in each category. Most favourite receives 5 points, second favourite 4 points and so on.
