Anjuna Security Named "Data Privacy Solution of the Year" in 10th Annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards Program

AI Data Fusion Clean Rooms Facilitate Collaboration by Merging Sensitive or Live Data, Develop and Run Models Without Privacy Risk

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Anjuna Security, a leader in confidential computing and autonomous software runtime governance, today announced that Anjuna Northstar has been recognized as the winner of the "Data Privacy Solution of the Year" award in the 10^th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program. Conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization, the annual program recognizes the most innovative companies, products, and technologies driving progress in the global information security industry.

Anjuna Northstar is the industry's first AI model and data fusion clean room. Built on top of Anjuna Seaglass, the company's Universal Confidential Computing Platform, Anjuna Northstar ensures that code and data remain protected, from ingestion to processing to analysis. Designed for AI ops teams and data scientists, Anjuna Northstar lets collaboration partners share sensitive data, develop and run models, and get actionable results, all with verifiable trust and no data privacy risk. New confidential clean rooms can be created on demand, and stakeholders can collaborate using common tools such as Jupyter notebooks.

"Traditional clean rooms lack the flexibility and scalability required to meet the demands of today's data-driven, security-first enterprises," said Ayal Yogev, CEO of Anjuna Security. "We designed Anjuna Northstar to enable interactive data ops and AI-driven dataset fusion for secure, verifiable collaboration. This win with CyberSecurity Breakthrough validates our approach to liberate organizations from the constraints of data sharing. Anjuna Northstar empowers them to securely embrace the limitless potential of cloud and AI."

Using Anjuna Northstar, partners can prepare datasets interactively within a secure environment. Remote attestation and data-in-use isolation enable companies to reduce risks and guarantee the highest level of privacy and security for every collaboration. By leveraging confidential computing technology, attack vectors that are hardware-based and memory-based are closed off. The product works with any cloud provider and on-premises environments.

Marking its 10-year milestone this year, the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards has spent a decade on a mission that hasn't wavered: to celebrate excellence and spotlight breakthrough innovation driving the global cybersecurity industry forward. Over that decade, the program has grown to span a wide range of categories, including Cloud Security, Threat Intelligence, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, Mobile Security, Application Security, Identity Management, and more, consistently shining a light on the solutions and organizations redefining how we safeguard the digital world.

In this landmark 10^th year, the 2026 awards program received thousands of nominations from organizations in more than 20 countries around the world, representing breakthrough technologies from disruptive startups to established global enterprises. This year's winners embody the cutting edge of cybersecurity technology, delivering next-generation protection and resilience in today's increasingly complex threat landscape.

"Anjuna Northstar unlocks collaboration across industries. Enterprises want to realize the full value of their data through partnerships and collaboration while ensuring security is never compromised. AI models offer new ways to analyze, predict, and innovate, but also introduce a range of risk vectors that traditional tools, like legacy data clean rooms, were not designed to protect against," said Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. "Anjuna Northstar protects diverse data sources using confidential computing so that enterprises can freely share and collaborate, uncover new insights, explore growth opportunities, and achieve innovations that were previously out of reach."
