SAN FRANCISCO, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Prowler, a leader in open cloud security, today announced it has won an award for the Best Infrastructure Security Tool in the inaugural DefectDojo Awards. This award recognizes Prowler's comprehensive cloud security scanning capabilities, its seamless integration with multi-cloud environments, its ease of use and its active open-source community support, alongside the company's contributions to the open-source cybersecurity ecosystem.
Toni de la Fuente, founder and CEO of Prowler, said:
"Security doesn't belong behind closed doors. We started Prowler to make cloud security open, accessible, and adaptable to real-world complexity. As infrastructure evolves, so do the threats—and teams need tools that evolve with them, without locking them in. This recognition from DefectDojo is a reflection of the community that's built around Prowler. We're proud to be part of the movement shaping the future of open-source cybersecurity, and we congratulate the other winners who share that mission alongside us."
"Open-source cybersecurity tools are the foundation of the modern industry. Prowler's dedication to scalability and automation shines through in their latest update, Prowler 5," said Greg Anderson, CEO and founder of DefectDojo. "We're proud to spotlight Prowler as an outstanding example of the power of open-source software in cybersecurity. Together, we are all making the digital world safer."
The DefectDojo Awards celebrate open-source tools and solutions that provide the most utility to cybersecurity professionals across five categories: Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Infrastructure, Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and Secrets Scanning. As a leading open-source cybersecurity provider in its own right, DefectDojo evaluated tools based on their noisiness, accuracy and robustness of results. Winners were selected by CEO Greg Anderson and CTO Matt Tesauro in consultation with a number of other leading voices in open-source cybersecurity.
