Nominate now: Deadline approaching for 4th annual Cyber Insurance Awards Europe 2027

In February next year, 600 European cyber leaders will gather to hear who will be crowned the winners of Intelligent Insurer’s Cyber Insurance Awards Europe 2027. Now in their fourth year, the awards honour the standout individuals and companies elevating standards in cyber risk management across Europe.

Nominations for the 18 Company Award categories and 8 Individual Award categories including new categories for 2027, are now open, providing the perfect opportunity for individuals, teams and companies to showcase their achievements and gain recognition.

The deadline to enter the awards is Friday October, 9th, 2026. Entering the awards is free of charge and entries are being accepted via the online nomination forms. 

The awards team at Intelligent Insurer has highlighted that given that last year’s awards received nearly 250 entries, competition is expected to be fierce.  As a carefully crafted entry takes time, the team encourages entries to be submitted early. 

As in previous years, once entries close, all official nominations will be judged by our expert, independent panel of judges who will decide one winner and one highly commended entrant per category. 

Recognising industry talent 

As entries begin to flood in, ahead of the deadline, this year, Intelligent Insurer is asking those who wish to shine a light on cyber industry talent in the UK and Europe to complete a brief survey where they can put forward who they feel deserves to be shortlisted in each category. This is particularly important for the individual categories as often those most deserving of one of the 8 individual awards might not feel comfortable putting themselves forward and we can ensure they are not overlooked.  

Those wishing to suggest a brand or individual for nomination can do so via this brief industry survey as soon as possible. The suggestions will not count as entries but instead will guide the awards team as to who the industry feels is deserving of being in each category.
