CyberRisk Alliance (CRA) and SC Media announced the winners of the 2025 SC Awards at a reception during the RSA Conference 2025. Now in its 28th year, the 2025 SC Awards once again received hundreds of entries across 33 categories, which were evaluated by a panel of CISOs, cybersecurity practitioners, and industry experts representing a wide range of sectors. The judging process emphasized technical merit, market impact, and the ability to solve real-world cybersecurity challenges.

“We are honored to be awarded Best Data Security Solution by SC Media,” said Karthik Krishnan, Concentric AI Founder and CEO. “This recognition affirms our team’s dedication to uniquely solving the most critical data security challenges faced by businesses today. Between 2022 and 2024, our revenue grew 10x, which is a clear signal that our approach to data security is resonating.

“This year’s winners rose to the top, but they did so in a crowded field with standout talent, bold ideas and hard-earned innovation,” said Tom Spring, Senior Editorial Director, SC Media. “With more than 160 finalists and hundreds of submissions, the 2025 SC Awards reflect the depth, diversity and dynamism of the cybersecurity community.”

Concentric AI’s Semantic Intelligence platform redefines what’s possible for data security governance. Instead of relying on rigid rules, keywords, or data samples, it uses its patented AI to understand the context behind structured and unstructured data across cloud and on-premises environments. This means it can find not only PII, PCI, and PHI with exceptional accuracy, but also things like intellectual property and critical business documents that others miss. This result is stronger, more accurate classifications and access policies within the platform itself and across a customer’s entire security stack. And with continuous monitoring and remediation, risks like overpermissioning and misclassified data are handled automatically.
