Start with onboarding
Amsterdam, November 12, 2026. Imperum, the Autonomous SOC Platform for the Full Attack Lifecycle, today announced that it has won Outstanding New Security Product at the 2026 Benelux Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs). The organizers announced the winners on November 11, 2026, and named Imperum's Autonomous SOC Platform for the Full Attack Lifecycle the winner in the category.
The Benelux OSPAs recognize exceptional performance, innovation and leadership across the security sector. According to the organizers, this year's awards highlighted individuals and organizations helping to shape and advance security excellence across the Benelux.
What the judges recognized
In their announcement, the OSPAs describe Imperum's Autonomous SOC Platform as combining governed AI agents, automated investigation, threat intelligence and exposure management to address the full attack lifecycle while maintaining human control. The judges highlighted its comprehensive and innovative approach to tackling SOC staffing shortages, reducing operational costs and optimizing existing technology while keeping human oversight central.
“We are honoured to win Outstanding New Security Product at the 2026 Benelux OSPAs. We founded Imperum in Amsterdam in 2022 to ease the pressure on security teams, so being recognised here in the Benelux means a great deal to us. We have always believed in autonomous security with human control, and it is encouraging to see the judges value exactly that. This award belongs to our whole team.”
At the center of the platform, Imperum Autonomous SOC brings alert intake, AI analysis, case investigation and controlled response into one operating flow. It resolves eligible noise, builds evidence for threats and keeps unresolved work with the security team. Response stays within policy: Audit mode skips execution, Guided mode requires approval for every planned action, and Auto mode follows a risk threshold and approval list.
Next stop: the Global OSPAs
Winners across two categories of the Benelux OSPAs will have the opportunity to represent the Benelux at the 3rd Global OSPAs in 2027, automatically qualifying for international recognition on the global stage. Outstanding New Security Product is one of these categories, giving Imperum the opportunity to represent the Benelux at the Global OSPAs.
