ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, today announced that it had been recognized with the Cybersecurity Awareness award for companies in the private sector in the 2024 San Diego Cybersecurity Stewardship Awards. This prestigious award, presented by the San Diego Business Journal in partnership with the Cyber Center of Excellence (CCOE), honors ESET’s unwavering commitment to enhancing cybersecurity awareness and education within the San Diego community.
“We are honored to be recognized by the San Diego Business Journal for our deep connection and contributions to a more secure San Diego,” said Ryan Grant, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “It’s important that San Diegans understand cybersecurity best practices and take simple actions to protect themselves against bad actors. This award speaks to our commitment to partnering with a variety of impressive organizations across the city to drive cybersecurity awareness with vulnerable communities, including small businesses, youth and minorities.”
ESET has continued to expand its presence in San Diego – recently opening a new North America headquarters in Downtown. Representing a significant milestone in the company’s growth, the state-of-the-art facility supports over 200 North American employees while providing a space for local community partners to conduct cybersecurity awareness and education events with ESET.
“At ESET we are committed to making a difference, not only in the cyber world, but in the everyday lives of the communities where we operate,” added Grant. “We have an established history of local engagement and cybersecurity awareness in San Diego, and this was a key factor in our decision to double down on our San Diego presence. ESET is a proud partner of a number of local foundations – from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego and Promises2Kids to #LatinaGeeks and the San Diego Police Foundation’s SafetyNet program – where we have supported programs to close cybersecurity education gaps and ensure San Diegans are able to defend against bad actors. We are also active members of San Diego’s Cyber Center of Excellence (CCOE) where we work to educate local SMBs and are involved in programs to grow the regional cyber economy.”
Now in its 4th year, the Cybersecurity Stewardship awards celebrate companies, academic institutions, municipalities, government agencies, nonprofits, and executives who are driving innovation, seeding and diversifying the talent pipeline, and those working to create a more secure San Diego. Winners for the Cybersecurity Stewardship award were announced on October 28 and will be recognized during the CCOE’s 10th Anniversary celebration on November 19, 2024.
