ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nucleus Security, the leader in unified exposure management, today announced it has won two Top InfoSec Innovator Awards from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine: Visionary in Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and Market Innovator in Exposure Management.
As AI dramatically accelerates vulnerability discovery and exploitation, traditional vulnerability management approaches can no longer keep pace. Nucleus Security unifies vulnerability data, threat intelligence, and remediation workflows to help security teams identify their most dangerous exposures, prioritize action, and drive remediation at scale. Nucleus helps security teams turn security intelligence into measurable risk reduction.
“We’re honored to be recognized by the Cyber Defense Awards alongside some of the most innovative companies in cybersecurity. As threats evolve and AI accelerates attacks, security teams need more than another tool that identifies problems. They need intelligence, context, and operational capabilities to prioritize risk and drive remediation at scale. This recognition reinforces our commitment to helping organizations move beyond vulnerability visibility to measurable risk reduction,” said Scott Kuffer, Nucleus Security co-founder and chief project officer.
“Nucleus Security embodies three major features we judges look for with the potential to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats today, providing a cost-effective solution, and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
