Washington, D.C. – March 10, 2026 – The National Cybersecurity Alliance has been named a winner of a 2026 CSO Award from Foundry’s CSO. This prestigious honor is bestowed upon a select group of organizations that have implemented security projects and initiatives demonstrating outstanding business value and thought leadership. NCA will accept its award at the CSO Cybersecurity Awards & Conference to be held May 11-13, 2026 at the Loews Nashville Vanderbilt Plaza. 

NCA received the award for Kubikle: Part 2, the latest installment of its comedy cybersecurity web series designed to reach audiences who typically ignore or avoid traditional security messaging. Set inside a fictional cybercriminal workplace, the entertainment-first series uses satire, storytelling, and humor to make cybersecurity more approachable and relatable. The series also features cameos from YouTube creator and scam-baiting expert Kitboga, helping bring authenticity and reach to the project. 

Kubikle was created to address a long-standing challenge in cybersecurity awareness: many people outside the cybersecurity profession view security as confusing, intimidating, or irrelevant to their daily lives. Instead of relying on fear-based messaging or traditional training approaches, Kubikle uses character-driven comedy to capture attention and spark curiosity about online safety. 

"This year's award winners show how security teams have repositioned themselves as strategic business enablers," said Beth Kormanik, Content Director of the CSO Cybersecurity Awards & Conference. "They tackle business challenges by leveraging new technology and ideas and delivering detailed planning and strong execution. Their organizations are stronger for these efforts that protect revenue continuity, improve resilience, and strengthen compliance. We congratulate them and look forward to celebrating them at the CSO Cybersecurity Awards & Conference."
