Cyber Protect wins top honors at CEDIA Expo 2024, recognized as the Most Promising Product for AV and Custom Integrators

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida, September 13, 2024: CE Pro has announced the winners of the 2024 CE Pro BEST Product Awards at CEDIA Expo 2024, and among the prestigious honorees is SpecOp Secure’s Cyber Protect, winning the award for Most Promising Product. The CE Pro BEST (Best Electronic Systems Technologies) Product Awards is a highly respected award program within the professional installation industry, recognizing cutting-edge products, technologies, and services that enable integrators to deliver superior smart home solutions.

Cyber Protect stood out for its advanced cybersecurity features tailored specifically to the custom integration market. As security concerns continue to grow, AV integrators are increasingly expected to safeguard the networks they install. SpecOp Secure’s Cyber Protect allows integrators to provide their clients with enhanced protection against cyber threats, while maintaining seamless system performance.

“Every year, manufacturers in the custom integration industry outdo themselves with innovation,” says Arlen Schweiger, editor-in-chief of CE Pro. “Installers and business owners are in great shape for the future based on what I saw from the entrants and winners of our CE Pro BEST Awards.”

“We’re excited to see Cyber Protect recognized by CE Pro,” said Farr Shepherd, President of SpecOp Secure. “Integrators today aren’t just connecting devices—they’re responsible for securing entire networks. We wanted to create a product that gives them a real advantage, with advanced security that doesn’t add complexity. We’re confident it will make a big difference for both installers and their clients.”

Cyber Protect offers custom integrators a reliable, easy-to-deploy solution designed to protect residential and commercial networks. As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, clients are expecting integrators to provide solutions that not only offer convenience but also prioritize safety and privacy. With Cyber Protect, integrators can meet those expectations and offer a future-proof security platform that aligns with the evolving needs of today’s connected homes and businesses.

Why Cyber Protect Stood Out

With cyber-attacks becoming more sophisticated, Cyber Protect offers real-time threat detection, advanced encryption, and proactive vulnerability scanning. These features ensure that every connected device in a smart home—from security cameras and thermostats to voice assistants and lighting systems—stays secure from potential breaches.

“As smart homes grow more connected, the need for robust security is greater than ever,” said Ted Bremekamp, VP of Channel Development for SpecOp Secure. “Cyber Protect addresses this need head-on by providing residential integrators with a powerful tool that safeguards the privacy and safety of homeowners.”

These cyber protections have never been more important: a recent study found that, on average, there are over 100 new threats to home networks every month, with four out of five people admitting they wouldn’t even know if they had been hacked.
