LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / May 8, 2024 / Tego Cyber Inc. (OTCQB:TGCB), a cybersecurity company focused on threat intelligence, detection and correlation tools, today announced that its co-founder and Chief Technical Offer, Shannon Wilkinson, received the ​Champion in Security: Inclusion Award at the Champion in Security gala held at RSA on May 6^th in San Francisco.

Sponsored by Portal26, the Champion in Security Awards is held to honor cyber leaders who embody Respect, Inclusion, Collaboration, Community, Innovation and Education. Held annually during RSA, the peer-nominated awards seek to foster values that go far beyond the practice of security techniques and focus instead on the humans that power this critical discipline and without whom we would not have the strength to stand up to cybercriminals.

The Champion in Security Award for Inclusion honors the security leaders who organize their team to accommodate diversity, equality and inclusion principles to the fullest degree. These individuals actively solicit individuals from diverse as well as underrepresented groups and provide training to overcome barriers to equitable progress. These leaders recognize that as a community of practitioners, security has historically not been very diverse, and so they work hard to bring about significant change in how their teams are staffed and also to ensure that individuals from diverse backgrounds are welcomed, trained, and rewarded in a fair and equitable manner.

"We are proud of our Champions in Security Awards winners. These are leaders that are making a difference, not only in their technical practice but in the lives of their colleagues and industry as a whole," said Arti Raman, CEO and founder, Portal26. "This year's theme, 'The Art of the Possible,' reminds us that true security innovation requires technical prowess, creativity, collaboration, and intuition. Just as artists weave colors, shapes, and textures together to create masterpieces, cybersecurity professionals must leverage diverse perspectives, forge meaningful connections, and think outside the box to avoid emerging threats. Together, we are not just defending against cyber threats; we are crafting a future where security is not just a goal but a reality."

Shannon Wilkinson expressed her thanks and gratitude for the award, saying, "Receiving recognition at the Champion in Security Awards is truly humbling and a testament to the collective effort of our entire security community. I am honored by the nomination and to be selected by the committee. I also want to express my deep gratitude to those who have supported and inspired me throughout the years. This award is not just a reflection of my individual efforts, but a celebration of the collaborative spirit that defines the cybersecurity industry. Together, we strengthen the fabric of cybersecurity and empower each other to confront the challenges of tomorrow."
