The 2024 Microsoft Security Excellence Awards is set to celebrate the trailblazers of the industry in nine different categories. The awards are a remarkable opportunity for Microsoft to highlight the outstanding work of solution innovators, customer and technology champions and changemakers. The Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), an alliance of independent software vendors (ISVs) and managed security service providers (MSSPs), consists of all the finalists.

Maria Thomson, Director, Microsoft Intelligent Security Association congratulated this year's award finalists, "These are presented each year to recognise the outstanding achievements of our MISA members in enhancing customers' ability to identify and respond to security threats. Our community comprises the most reliable and trusted security vendors worldwide. This year we received hundreds of impressive submissions from partners and Microsoft stakeholders, therefore our finalists saw off strong competition."

MISA is designed to gather Microsoft leadership, ISVs, and MSSPs, to collectively combat security threats and make the world safer. It is from this esteemed industry community that the winners of the Microsoft Security Excellence Awards are chosen, voting collectively to celebrate their peers who have excelled in delivering exceptional work for shared customers.
