TrendAI honours security leadership with Cybersecurity Excellence Awards

TrendAI, the global AI security leader and enterprise business unit of Trend Micro, has celebrated organisations worldwide for their leadership, innovation, and excellence in cybersecurity with the 2026 TrendAI Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.

The Innovator category recognises organisations introducing new ideas, technologies, or approaches that meaningfully advance cybersecurity: 

  • Sun Chemical

  • MITSUI SUMITOMO INSURANCE Agency Service
  • Qassim University

The Visionary category honours organisations that are transforming a bold cybersecurity vision into measurable progress: 

  • Pegasystems
  • SoftBank

Cyber Defender celebrates those demonstrating an exceptional commitment to protecting people, operations, and digital environments. In the APME region:  

  • KSA Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture (MEWA)

Ambassador distinguishes leaders championing stronger cybersecurity practices across their industries and communities. APME winners include: 

  • Anglicare Victoria, a provider of out-of-home care services


AI Trailblazer highlights an individual advancing the responsible and effective use of AI in cybersecurity: 

  • Dole Food Company
  • International SOS Assistance UK, which also has Singapore headquarters 


Cybersecurity is no longer only about preventing compromise. Organisations that manage it well strengthen customer trust, enable digital transformation, and gain a competitive edge, TrendAI said. 

Stated Rachel Jin, CEO of TrendAI: "This year’s Cybersecurity Excellence Awards represent the next generation of security-first leaders who understand that cyber resilience is not a compliance checkbox, but a competitive advantage. These customers have transformed how they approach risk, turning threat intelligence into innovation, and weaving security into the fabric of business strategy. That’s what true excellence looks like.” 

Manoj Tewari, GM, Information Security and Compliance, International SOS noted: “Partnering with TrendAI has strengthened our cybersecurity posture. By integrating the TrendAI suite of products, we have shifted from reactive defense to proactive, intelligent resilience- allowing us to neutralise threats faster and confidentially drive our digital transformation forward.”

Florian Zeeb, Director of Global Information Security, Dole Food Group commented: “Security needs a seat at the table when AI is adopted, not a review at the end. That is how we make sure AI is used securely and ethically. It only works with the support of management and the teams, and we had both. This recognition is theirs as much as mine. Nobody had all the answers. We learned together with our partners, and we keep learning.”

Takashi Hara, Manager, SoftBank said: “We are deeply honoured to receive the Visionary Award. At SoftBank, we are committed to advancing cybersecurity as a critical foundation for driving social and industrial transformation through cutting-edge technologies, including AI. We understand this recognition reflects our efforts not only to address evolving cyber threats, but also to harness AI safely and responsibly to create new value. 

"Going forward, we will continue to tackle emerging security risks associated with the growing adoption of AI and strengthen our governance frameworks. At the same time, we will advance AI-driven threat detection and analysis, as well as the sophistication of our security operations, with the goal of further enhancing our overall cybersecurity posture.”
