Glasswall, a leading provider of intelligent file protection technologies, claimed two major honors at the prestigious UK IT Industry Awards 2024 for Glasswall Halo in the Security Innovation of the Year category and Connor Morley, who was presented with the Security Professional of the Year award.
Hosted at a ceremony in London on November 13th, the UK IT Industry Awards are designed to celebrate and promote the organizations, teams, projects, technologies and individuals who continue to help shape the future of IT, the technology industry and digital society. Glasswall was successful in two highly competitive categories, which included major international cybersecurity brands and outstanding industry professionals.
Winning for Security Innovation of the Year was Glasswall Halo, a scalable zero-trust file protection solution, deployable on-premises, in the cloud or air-gapped networks.
Powered by Glasswall Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology, it is a data filter that rebuilds files and documents into a safe, clean standard, free from the risks of malware. Glasswall Halo helps deliver a zero-trust approach to cybersecurity, outperforms antivirus, sandboxing and EDR methods and is essential for secure file transfer across trust boundaries.
In addition, Connor Morley, Glasswall’s Principal Malware Security Researcher, was named Security Professional of the Year. Renowned for his innovative contribution to cybersecurity and deep expertise in malware analysis, threat hunting and security research, his development of cutting-edge tools such as Glasswall Conform and novel approaches to defeating steganography have set new industry standards.
“This is a major achievement for the entire Glasswall team, who are a hugely talented and dedicated group of professionals,” commented Danny Lopez, Glasswall CEO. “It also demonstrates our commitment to technology innovation and building an organization where employees can thrive in a highly competitive industry sector.”
