Dallas, Texas, United States — ContraForce today announced it is a Security Software Development Company award finalist in the Microsoft Security Excellence Awards. The company was honored among a global field of industry leaders that demonstrated exceptional innovation, engineering excellence, and customer impact across the security landscape over the past 12 months.
“We are incredibly proud to be recognized as a finalist for Security Software Development Company,” said Stan Golubchik, CEO and Co-Founder of ContraForce. “Our team has built with purpose from day one, focused on helping service providers deliver security at scale with automation and AI. This recognition reflects our deep alignment with Microsoft’s security vision and our commitment to making high-quality security delivery accessible for all.”
At the Microsoft Security Excellence Awards on January 26, 2026, Microsoft will honor finalists in six award categories that highlight partner trailblazers, solution innovators, customer and technology champions, and changemakers. This is the sixth year Microsoft has recognized partners for outstanding contributions in the global security ecosystem. All finalists are members of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), a community of leading security vendors whose solutions integrate with Microsoft’s security technologies to protect customers against evolving threats.
“I am very pleased to extend my warmest congratulations to this year’s finalists for the Microsoft Security Excellence Awards. These are presented each year to recognize the outstanding achievements of our Microsoft Intelligent Security Association members as they improve customers’ ability to identify and respond to security threats. Our community is made up of the most reliable and trusted security vendors worldwide. This year we received hundreds of quality submissions from partners and Microsoft stakeholders, so this year’s finalists stood out in a crowd of exceptional talent. It is my pleasure to acknowledge and celebrate their work over the past year,” said Maria Thomson, Director, Microsoft Intelligent Security Association.
MISA was created to bring together Microsoft leaders, software development companies, and services partners to collaborate in defending against sophisticated security threats and making the world safer. MISA members and Microsoft security leaders will vote to determine this year’s winners, providing an opportunity for peers to recognize exceptional contributions to shared customers.
