PKI Solutions Wins 2026 Fortress Cybersecurity Award for Detection

PORTLAND, OR JUNE 2, 2026 — PKI Solutions is honored to be awarded Best Detection Product in the 2026 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards. The 2026 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards honor achievement across the full landscape of digital defense, spotlighting the companies and leaders moving security beyond reaction and into proactive, accountable practice.

PKI Solutions stood out because its work in Detection reflects where the market is headed: practical cybersecurity that solves real problems, earns trust, and protects the people and assets that depend on it. This recognition highlights a team that is not just keeping pace with the threat landscape but helping define what meaningful defense looks like.”
