Nominations Open for CSO30 ASEAN & Hong Kong Awards 2026
Recognizing leaders transforming cybersecurity into a business capability across ASEAN and Hong Kong.
The CSO30 ASEAN & Hong Kong Awards are back in 2026, offering a platform to spotlight cybersecurity leaders and teams who are turning resilience into an enterprise capability. In a region where threats evolve rapidly and boardrooms demand more, these awards are a benchmark of cybersecurity maturity.
Celebrating its fifth year, the awards honor not just individual leaders but also the collective efforts of teams driving transformation, resilience, and business continuity. It's a call to CISOs and CSOs in the region: if your work has fortified your organization's cyber posture, influenced strategic decisions, or built stronger partnerships, now is your moment to shine.
The awards feature three nomination pathways: CSO Leadership, CSO Transformation, and Ecosystem. Each category reflects different facets of modern security leadership—from board-level influence to collaborative ecosystem projects.
Leadership nominations should showcase how individuals have enhanced organizational protection and executive decision-making. The Transformation category requires a project that delivered quantifiable impact and resilience. Ecosystem Team nominations must illustrate how projects strengthened cybersecurity agendas, overcoming challenges and delivering clear outcomes.
Nominations close on 31 July 2026. The awards gala page is available here.
Recognizing decisive, strategic, and collaborative leadership, the CSO30 ASEAN & Hong Kong Awards provide visibility to those making cybersecurity integral to business continuity. Detailed project information remains confidential, encouraging meaningful submissions without exposing sensitive data.
