As Federal agencies refine their cyber policies, strategies, and risk management approaches, it is important to recognize the leaders driving innovation and strengthening our nation’s cybersecurity. Now more than ever, their efforts are shaping a more resilient and secure digital future.

MeriTalk is excited to open nominations for the Cyber Defenders Awards, where we’ll recognize those who are leading cyber modernization progress, implementing new approaches, and making lasting impacts on their missions. Award winners will be recognized at MeriTalk’s Tech Tonic on May 15, 2025.
