FISSEA Cybersecurity Awareness and Training Contest
The Contest provides the opportunity to showcase awareness and training items across eight categories from FISSEA’s key areas of Awareness and Training. FISSEA Contest entries are judged by a panel of FISSEA Committee members and the People’s Choice Award is voted on by the public via an online poll.

FISSEA Innovator of the Year Award
The Award recognizes an individual who has made significant contributions to cybersecurity awareness and training programs. Nominees may be involved in any aspect of cybersecurity awareness and training and can be Federal Employees or Contractors directly supporting Federal Employees. Recognition is specifically for those in an individual capacity and is not an endorsement of any private entity.
