Cyber resiliency leader Index Engines announced that its flagship CyberSense platform has been recognized in the 2026 The Hacker News Cybersecurity Stars Awards, earning top honors for Best Ransomware Recovery Platform in the Ransomware Detection category.
The Hacker News Cybersecurity Stars Awards recognize cybersecurity companies and solutions that demonstrate exceptional innovation and measurable impact in addressing today’s most pressing security challenges. CyberSense addresses the challenge of a new generation of ransomware attacks such as intermittent encryption and polymorphism by using AI-powered analytics and content inspection to detect the subtle signs of data corruption that other technologies often miss.
CyberSense leverages advanced machine learning models trained by the patented CyberSense Research Lab, which continuously analyzes emerging ransomware variants and evolving attack methodologies. The platform provides a 99.99% confidence level in detecting ransomware-induced corruption, enabling organizations to rapidly identify trusted recovery points and minimize operational disruption.
“The ransomware landscape changes every day and defenders cannot rely on yesterday’s assumptions about what keeps data safe,” said Jim McGann, CMO of Index Engines. “CyberSense was purpose-built to answer the most important question after an attack – ‘Can I trust my data?’ This recognition from The Hacker News further validates our mission to provide confidence and the ability for quick recovery with clean, uncompromised information.”
