We encourage all those, who are committed to progressing the industry, to apply.

The quality was very high and I know there are many disappointed companies who did not make the shortlist this year. Those that have been selected as finalists should be incredibly pleased with their achievement and know that competition to be win will be tough!”

“BlackFog is honored to be nominated as one of this year’s finalists for most innovative product of the year, recognizing the importance of data privacy and data security in the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape and the crucial role played by data exfiltration”, said Dr. Darren Williams, CEO and Founder of BlackFog.
