2026 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards

Prestigious Annual Awards Program Recognizes Breakthrough Information Security Products and Companies Around the World

LOS ANGELES, California - Oct. 8, 2026 – CyberSecurity Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the most innovative companies, products and technologies driving progress in the global information security industry, today announced that MIND®, the AI-native data loss prevention (DLP) platform, has been named “Data Loss Prevention Platform of the Year” in the 10th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program.

MIND is an AI-native DLP platform that discovers, detects and prevents sensitive data leaks across every environment and every state of data, from GenAI and Agentic AI to SaaS, on-premise, endpoint and email. Discovery and classification of sensitive data across the enterprise is the critical first step, using MIND AI to understand what data exists, where it lives, who has access to it and how it moves. MIND then detects risky data activity in real time and automatically responds with intelligent, context-aware actions that remediate exposure. Prevention happens in real time at the endpoint level and in the browser, with no SSL inspection or latency tax. MIND automates the full data security lifecycle, from discovery to prevention, with minimal user input. It enforces real-time policies for data at rest and in motion that adapt to context and risk.

MIND AI, the company’s multi-layered AI classification engine, uses hundreds of tailored algorithms and multiple AI models to understand the content and context of an organization's unique data for accurate classification. MIND AI DLP Agents automate data security. The Custom Classifier Agent builds business-specific classifiers at the document and data level. The Policy Producer Agent suggests, creates and refines policies from natural language instructions. Meanwhile, the Issue Investigator Agent analyzes incidents, uncovers patterns, explains risk and suggests remediation. MIND’s Rapid Response Agent executes remediation and escalates when human approval is required, while the Reason Reviewer Agent evaluates user override justifications against policy guidance in real time.

With MIND, detecting risky data activity with context-aware intelligence separates meaningful risk from noise and reduces false positives. The platform allows for remediating data exposure and security issues autonomously and sensitive data loss is prevented with adaptive policy-driven controls that can automatically block risky activity.

“The advent of AI has resulted in both accelerating risks surrounding sensitive data while also creating an opportunity for us to fundamentally reinvent how organizations protect it. The outcomes are measurable, with customers reporting up to 80% less DLP program effort, near-zero false positives and deployment in minutes. We are honored to receive this recognition from CyberSecurity Breakthrough. It underscores our mission to help organizations thrive in the AI era by protecting their most sensitive data, mitigating risks and preserving brand reputation.”

Marking its 10-year milestone this year, the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards has spent a decade on a mission that hasn’t wavered: to celebrate excellence and spotlight breakthrough innovation driving the global cybersecurity industry forward. Over that decade, the program has grown to span a wide range of categories, including Cloud Security, Threat Intelligence, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, Mobile Security, Application Security, Identity Management and more, consistently shining a light on the solutions and organizations redefining how we safeguard the digital world.

In this landmark 10th year, the 2026 awards program received thousands of nominations from organizations in more than 20 countries around the world, representing breakthrough technologies from disruptive startups to established global enterprises. This year’s winners embody the cutting edge of cybersecurity technology, delivering next-generation protection and resilience in today’s increasingly complex threat landscape.

“MIND is the DLP platform built for the AI era, owning the whole job. Security leaders running data security are hindered by legacy DLP that buries analysts in false positives while real exfiltration slips through, unending policy tuning and GenAI and agentic tools moving sensitive data faster than any team and tool can track. MIND automates both policy creation and enforcement, applying the right rules, in the right context, to the right data. MIND outpaces modern risk with machine speed data security, delivering intelligent protection that adapts, acts and scales with you.”
