Summer 2022 has been prime time for awards and we are excited to announce four awards that JupiterOne and CEO and founder Erkang Zheng won:

  • Fortress Cyber Security Awards - Leadership Award
  • International Business Awards

Fortress Cyber Security Awards

In June, Erkang was awarded the Fortress Cyber Security award in the Leadership category. This awards program was meant to highlight, discuss, and reward the creative thinking, engineering, and people and projects that are taking on the growing number of cybersecurity threats for the benefit of the global community.

International Business Awards

The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small - are eligible to submit nominations. The 2022 IBAs received entries from organizations in 67 nations and territories.

More than 3,700 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Company of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Startup of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, and Executive of the Year, among others. This year’s competition also featured a number of new categories to recognize organizations’ and individuals’ achievements in social media and thought leadership.

We are excited to announce Erkang and JupiterOne were awarded Bronze in two categories: Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year and Executive of the Year.
