Akeyless Wins Three Cybersecurity Awards from Two Leading Industry Organizations

Company honored for innovation and leadership in Secrets Management, Machine Identity, and Identity & Access Management by Cyber Defense Magazine and Cybersecurity Excellence Awards

NEW YORK and TEL AVIV, Israel, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Akeyless, the pioneer in secrets and machine identity management, today announced it has won three prestigious cybersecurity awards in 2025, recognizing its innovation and leadership in securing modern enterprise infrastructure. The company was named a winner in two Machine Identity Management categories—Most Innovative and Most Groundbreaking—by Cyber Defense Magazine as part of the Global InfoSec Awards. Akeyless also received the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Award for Identity and Access Management.

"We congratulate Akeyless on this outstanding achievement in the 'Identity and Access Management' category of the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards," said Holger Schulze, founder of Cybersecurity Insiders and organizer of the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. "As we celebrate 10 years of recognizing excellence in cybersecurity, your innovation, commitment, and leadership set a powerful example for the entire industry."

"We're honored to be recognized by both Cyber Defense Magazine and the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards for our unified platform and innovative approach," said Oded Hareven, CEO and Co-Founder of Akeyless. "Our platform provides the comprehensive visibility and control needed to secure the exponentially growing non-human identity (NHI) landscape."

The Akeyless platform stands out in the rapidly growing machine identity and secrets management market, which is approaching $50 billion. "As security teams struggle with proliferating machine identities, spurred particularly by the rise of agentic AI and containerized development, it has become imperative for organizations to address the gaps in nonhuman identity management across hybrid and multi-cloud environments," added Hareven. "Our platform delivers the scalability, efficiency, and security needed to protect the backbone of modern enterprise infrastructure – workload identities and their associated secrets."

Unlike traditional approaches that require multiple standalone products, Akeyless uniquely integrates secrets management, certificate lifecycle management, Just-in-Time privileged access management, and encryption key management into a single cloud-native SaaS solution.
