Avnet has been named a winner of a 2024 CSO Award from Foundry’s CSO. This prestigious honor is bestowed upon a select group of organizations that have implemented security projects and initiatives demonstrating outstanding business value and thought leadership. Avnet will accept its award at the CSO Conference & Awards to be held October 21-23, 2024 at the We-Ko-Pa Resort & Casino in Fort McDowell, AZ.
Avnet won for its trailblazing approach to achieving the Department of Defense (DoD) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Both the certification and award showcase the company’s commitment to cybersecurity and safeguarding its customers’ and suppliers’ sensitive data.
“The stakes grow higher every day for security leaders and their teams, and this year’s CSO Awards honor the very best efforts to tackle challenges from an expanding threat landscape,” said Beth Kormanik, Content Director for the CSO Conference & Awards.
“From devising new threat detection methods and cyber analytics to initiatives addressing AI threats, zero trust, and data protection, these projects are at the forefront of innovative security thinking and represent true business value for their organizations,” continued Kormanik. “We congratulate the winners and look forward to celebrating them at the CSO Conference & Awards this fall.”
