The Phosphorus Unified xIoT Security Management Platform has been named a winner in the Internet of Things Security (IoT) category of the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. This recognition highlights our groundbreaking work in IoT and OT Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Protection, wherein Phosphorus stands above the rest as the only solution that moves beyond passive monitoring to proactive vulnerability remediation.
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, now celebrating its 10th anniversary, honors the most innovative and impactful cybersecurity solutions. Phosphorus stands out as the only xIoT security platform that can actively remediate vulnerabilities, addressing a critical gap in IoT and OT cybersecurity.
Industry Recognition for IoT Security and Cybersecurity Technology
“We congratulate Phosphorus Cybersecurity Inc. on this outstanding achievement in the ‘Internet of Things Security (IoT)’ 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.” Phosphorus has taken home two other Cybersecurity Excellence Awards in 2025, achieving Most Innovative Company and Best Cybersecurity Podcast.
The Only IoT Security Solution That Takes Action
While many IoT security solutions focus solely on asset discovery and visibility to varying success, Phosphorus goes further by providing a full lifecycle security approach:
- FIND every xIoT device, including IoT, OT, IIoT, and IoMT assets, safely and accurately
- FIX vulnerabilities with automated password rotations, firmware updates, and configuration hardening
- MONITOR continuously for security drift, ensuring devices remain in a hardened state
By actively remediating vulnerabilities at scale and in real-time, Phosphorus dramatically reduces the attack surface, closing the gaps needed for ransomware, supply chain attacks, and compliance violations before they happen. This asset-centric protection strategy not only prevents attacks but also delivers quantifiable risk reduction, helping organizations achieve real security outcomes.
Why This Cybersecurity Award Matters for IoT Security
The expansion of IoT and OT devices and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) has dramatically increased the attack surface for enterprises, introducing millions of unprotected devices into critical environments. Many of these devices operate with default credentials, open ports, outdated firmware, and minimal security oversight – creating ideal targets for adversaries. Unlike IT systems, which benefit from mature security frameworks, CPS assets often lack centralized visibility, proactive protection, and scalable risk management.
Traditional security solutions, which focus on network monitoring and anomaly detection, fail to address these core security weaknesses. Attackers don’t need to exploit sophisticated vulnerabilities when fundamental security flaws – such as unchanged passwords and misconfigurations – provide easy access. A proactive, asset-centric security approach is necessary to reduce risk, harden CPS environments, and prevent cyber incidents before they occur.
Comprehensive IoT and OT security requires a fundamental shift in strategy – from reactive detection to proactive prevention. This award reinforces our position as the leader in IoT Security and CPS Protection, delivering the only proactive IoT security solution that goes beyond monitoring to provide tangible risk reduction.
