NeuShield Named Winner of the Global InfoSec Awards During RSAC Conference 2026
NeuShield Wins Best Ransomware Data Security Solution in Cyber Defense Magazine’s 14th Annual Global InfoSec Awards
FREMONT, California () — NeuShield, creators of the industry’s first Mirror Shielding™ technology, today announced it has been named a winner in the Best Ransomware Data Security Solution category of Cyber Defense Magazine’s 14th Annual Global InfoSec Awards, announced during RSAC Conference 2026.
The award recognizes NeuShield for delivering a fundamentally different approach to ransomware defense by shielding critical data from encryption rather than relying solely on detection or backup recovery after damage occurs.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from Cyber Defense Magazine in a category that goes to the heart of today’s ransomware crisis,” said Yuen Pin Yeap, CEO at NeuShield. “Attackers no longer stop at encryption. They steal data, extort organizations, and exploit the gap between breach and recovery. NeuShield was built to close that gap. By shielding data from unauthorized access and malicious change, we help organizations maintain control, reduce downtime, and eliminate the leverage attackers depend on.”
“NeuShield embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
NeuShield earned this recognition for redefining how organizations protect data in the face of modern ransomware and extortion attacks. Its patented data shielding architecture assumes compromise instead of chasing detection. This approach helps organizations prevent encryption of sensitive data, even when attackers bypass perimeter controls or gain elevated access. Unlike traditional detection-based tools or backup-only solutions, NeuShield protects the data itself and enables organizations to restore systems to a pre-attack state within minutes.
NeuShield’s real-world impact also helped distinguish the company. In one deployment, a Canadian museum recovered 6.2 TB of encrypted data in 15 minutes, compared with five days using traditional backup restoration methods. NeuShield has also expanded protection into Microsoft SQL environments and continues to gain traction with managed service providers and enterprise customers.
“We’re thrilled to be part of this distinguished group of winners,” added Yeap. “This award reflects the growing market need for deterministic data protection that works even when other defenses fail. Our mission is to make ransomware far less effective by ensuring organizations can protect their most valuable asset. Their data.”
