CyberSecurity Breakthrough recognizes F‑Secure’s leading innovation in helping digital service providers protect customers from scams and evolving online threats

LOS ANGELES (October 9, 2026) — F‑Secure has been named “Cybersecurity Solution of the Year for Telecommunications” for the second consecutive year in the 10th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards. The award recognizes F‑Secure’s work helping digital service providers protect customers from increasingly sophisticated threats while turning cyber security into a valuable part of their customer offering.

AI has made scams far more efficient, and consumers are looking to their digital service provider to help protect them. F‑Secure research found that 82% of people say security influences their choice of provider, a clear sign that offering strong digital protection can help providers both keep customers loyal and stand out from competitors. F‑Secure helps meet that need: Six of the world’s top 10 communications service providers trust F‑Secure, alongside more than 200 partners worldwide, to deliver consumer cyber security that protects customers and creates tangible business value.

Innovating for the AI era

F‑Secure is also investing in what comes next. In 2026, the company expanded its Scam Protection Suite with Deepfake Protection and launched F‑Secure Trust, a new approach to consumer protection for the agentic AI era. Strategic partnerships with AI labs Qutwo, AMD Silo AI, IdentifAI, and CUJOAI are helping advance the technology behind this next generation of protection.

Also this year, F‑Secure launched Horizon, Europe’s first self-service cyber security reseller platform, making it easier for providers to introduce and scale security services without complex integrations or significant upfront investment.

“F-Secure stands out because it understands that telecommunications security is about more than technology,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “Its combination of innovation, threat intelligence and partner expertise gives digital service providers a way to make security part of the value they deliver to customers. That’s why we’re proud to name F‑Secure ‘Cybersecurity Solution of the Year for Telecommunications’ for the second year in a row.”
