Accedia Wins Silver at the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards

Accedia has been named a Silver Award recipient in the Fraud Prevention category of the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. Winners are selected by an independent jury of cybersecurity practitioners, analysts, and CISOs from the Cybersecurity Insiders community. 

The award recognises Accedia's work building AI-powered fraud prevention in retail banking and reflects a broader track record in delivering secure, compliant technology for regulated financial environments. 

Fraud prevention in financial services touches every legitimate customer interaction, and getting it wrong has consequences, for revenue, reputation, or compliance. Accedia's Engineering teams have been well-versed in this space for over 13 years, with clients across banking, FinTech, and financial services including BNP Paribas, Societe Generale, Shawbrook Bank, and Castle Trust Bank. Our AI Capability Center focuses specifically on applied AI in regulated environments, where explainability, auditability, and data security aren't optional extras. 

The results from the award-winning Castle Trust partnership are a strong indicator of what that looks like in practice: a 65% drop in reported fraud within six months of deployment, alongside a 20% increase in customer-reported trust. Being ISO 27001 certified and recognised as the most awarded DevSecOps team in Eastern Europe, Accedia is equipped to prove that non-compromised security and elevated customer experience don't have to trade off against each other. 

"We congratulate Accedia on earning Silver Award recognition in the Fraud Prevention category of the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. Selected by an independent jury of cybersecurity practitioners, analysts, and CISOs, this recognition highlights the role of innovative security solutions in strengthening cybersecurity across organisations worldwide." - Holger Schulze, Founder, Cybersecurity Insiders & Organiser, Cybersecurity Excellence Awards
