We are starting to make waves in the cybersecurity universe. Turns out, people love us and we are crushing this awards season (like Bong Joon-Ho's Parasite).

Anyway, we are extremely proud to share the following awards and announcements from the prestigious Black Unicorn Awards this year at Black Hat:

  • Our very own CISO, Sounil Yu, was officially named Winner of the Top 10 CISOs of 2021.
  • JupiterOne was named a Finalist as a “Baby Black Unicorn”
  • Sounil Yu does it again! He was also named a Finalist for Top 10 Cyber Security Experts.

On a more serious note, this is incredible news and validation for our team here at JupiterOne. The whole JupiterOne team is thrilled to congratulate Sounil Yu for being named a Winner as a Top 10 CISO of 2021 and also to see JupiterOne recognized as a Baby Black Unicorn. There’s a lot of work to be done before we reach that $1 billion dollar market valuation but we welcome the challenge! We are part of a community that is proactively creating a cybersecurity platform that is more people-centric and fundamental to our customer needs.

Thank you for your continued support in our mission.

Onward and upward.
