Intigriti wins ‘Security Innovation of the Year’ at the 2025 UK IT Industry Awards

We are thrilled to announce that Intigriti has won Security Innovation of the Year at the UK IT Industry Awards 2025.

A powerful recognition for innovation

The UK IT Industry Awards are designed to celebrate organizations, teams, projects, technologies, and individuals who continue to help shape the future of IT.

This accolade is a testament to the ingenuity, dedication, and forward-thinking approach of our team. It reflects our mission to transform cybersecurity through crowdsourced security: connecting companies with top ethical hackers to find and fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Stijn Jans, Founder and CEO of Intigriti, was proud to state that, “This award recognizes our team’s hard work, passion, and hunger for growth, which they put in day after day. It’s recognition for the community that chooses us as their platform to report the vulnerabilities they find. They place their trust in us, and we repay them with the best service we can provide. It’s recognition for the customers who have given us their confidence, enabling us to enhance their security and work with them as partners. And it’s a celebration of all the security maturity we can bring to the organizations we work with. Amazing brands I used as a kid, and now I have meetings with them about their security posture.”

Why should this award matter to customers and researchers?

Innovation: Our platform continues to push the boundaries of how organizations harness the power of ethical hacking to proactively secure their digital assets.

During the awards evening, Head of Product at Intigriti, Greg Jenkins, commented on some recent innovation initiatives, sharing that: "Intigriti won the Cybersecurity Innovation Award for elevating bug bounty programs into a continuous, intelligence-driven security platform built around the strengths of our researcher community. We’ve introduced new AI-powered technology that helps ethical hackers showcase their specialised skills and get matched more effectively with the right customer challenges, improving quality, speed, and engagement on both sides. Our upgraded infrastructure also enables rapid, data-driven product development to support the rising volume and complexity of submissions across the industry as AI adoption grows. Combined with rigorous data-protection standards and embedded KYC processes, these researcher-centric innovations deliver deeper insights, faster outcomes, and a more trusted, scalable model for modern vulnerability discovery.”

Impact: Every vulnerability identified and mitigated helps reduce cyber risk, not just for our clients, but across the wider digital ecosystem.

Trust: This award is a strong signal to our customers, partners, and researchers that Intigriti is a trusted leader in cyber resilience.

How we got here

‘Winners at the UK IT Industry Awards are chosen based on more than the strength of a written entry. All UK IT judging is done 1-2-1 by multiple panels of IT leaders that are rigorously, stringently independent. Instead of reading the work of marketing teams, these judges question IT professionals themselves and mark them as peers. As a result, winners are celebrated for genuine success. This unique process adds a level of accountability for entrants, but ensures that the winners are genuinely leading their chosen field.’ - UKITAwards

Winning this category required a rigorous, multi-stage evaluation process:

• Initial written submission: Our team prepared a comprehensive entry detailing how Intigriti’s platform drives measurable security improvements, showcasing real-world outcomes, customer impact, and the innovations that differentiate our approach in the cybersecurity landscape.

• Judging panel review: Industry experts assessed each submission for clarity, innovation, impact, and tangible value. Making it through this phase already meant our work stood out against a highly competitive field.

• In-depth interview: Our CEO and Founder, Stijn Jans, participated in a live interview with the judging committee, providing deeper insight into Intigriti’s mission, vision, and technological advancements. This discussion explored our commitment to ethical hacking, our future roadmap, and the broader impact of our platform on the security ecosystem.

This thorough process makes the win especially meaningful as it reflects both the strength of our innovation and the credibility of our approach.

A big thank you from Intigriti

We couldn’t have done this without:

• Our global researcher community, for their expertise, passion, and integrity.

• Our customers for believing in a proactive, pay-for-results approach to security.

• Our internal team, whose relentless drive keeps us innovating and scaling.

Looking ahead

Winning this award energizes us even more. We remain as committed as ever to improving our platform and service offerings, investing in our researcher community, and scaling our impact so that more organizations can confidently stay ahead of threats.

“It’s not a typical thing for a founder to stand still, reflect, and celebrate a moment. Our goal is to inspire our teams, customers, and community. To show them the path forward, push them when they're stuck and connect the dots where needed. Today, I’ll take a moment to pause and celebrate this. Be proud of where we are. Embrace it. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, my eye is on the next win.”– Stijn Jans
