Airia, the unified platform that gives CIOs control over every AI tool, model, and agent in their organization, has been named to the shortlist in The 2026 Security Awards in the Best Use of AI in a Cloud Security Solution category.
The Security Awards program evaluated nominations from organizations across the USA, Canada, the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and APAC. Airia was selected for its ability to help enterprises discover AI wherever it’s happening, secure it against vulnerabilities, and empower teams to build with AI all while maintaining active governance.
As AI proliferates across enterprises, CIOs face a growing crisis: shadow AI is everywhere, security blind spots are multiplying, and manual governance processes cannot keep pace. Airia addresses this by providing a single place to see, secure, and govern every AI tool running in the business—whether enterprise-licensed, department-approved, or adopted in the shadows.
“This recognition validates what we hear from CIOs every day: they need more than point solutions that only monitor, alert, or document,” said Kevin Kiley, CEO of Airia. “They need the ability to discover shadow AI, enforce security in real-time, prove compliance to auditors, and keep pace with AI innovation. That’s what Airia delivers.”
CEO of The Cloud Awards, James Williams, added: “In an era where cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated by the day, the demand for agile and inventive security solutions has never been higher. Airia has demonstrated an impressive level of ingenuity and dedication.”
Finalists will be announced on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, with winners revealed in early June.
