Named Gold Winner in Best Cybersecurity Startup and Data Security Platform Categories

NEW ALBANY, Ohio, March 8, 2023 — FenixPyre, a self-protecting data platform, provides a powerful yet simple way to secure and control sensitive files. As a data-centric security solution innovator, it was announced today that the company and its zero trust file access platform were named the gold winner in two categories in the 2023 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards: Best Cybersecurity Startup – North America and Data Security Platform – North America. Both categories were for companies with 10-49 employees.

The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards annually honor companies, solutions, and individuals that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and leadership in information security. Winners are nominated and selected by members of the Information Security Community, a 600,000-member group on LinkedIn that organizes the awards jointly with Cybersecurity Insiders.

Emre Koksal, FenixPyre CEO and Co-Founder. “We are honored to be recognized among industry leaders who have built reputations as cybersecurity innovators.”

FenixPyre’s zero trust file access platform embeds security directly into the file data itself, making it self-protecting no matter where files may travel. A major advantage of the solution is that it works behind the scenes to keep data secure and will not interrupt user workflows or business processes.
