The prerequisite for participation in the award and the associated CyberEconomy Match-Up for startups, makers and decision-makers is that the participating startups were founded no more than five years ago and they deal with the topics of IT security or data protection.

In addition to experts from the IT security cluster, ATHENE / Fraunhofer SITs and the media partner Computerwoche, the specialist jury also includes representatives from Infinigate and the industry association Bitkom for the first time this year.
