Rekha received a Gold TITAN Award, recognizing her leadership in network cyber resilience and advocacy for women in technology.

DALLAS, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BackBox today announced that CEO Rekha Shenoy has been honored with a 2026 TITAN Women in Business Leadership Award in the Outstanding Female Executive category as an Outstanding Chief Executive Officer. Shenoy received recognition at the Gold level, which honors top-scoring entries in a worldwide business and leadership awards program.

The TITAN Women in Business and Leadership Awards recognize outstanding achievements in leadership, strategic growth, and organizational success across the global business landscape. Shenoy was honored for the demonstrable impact of her work, forward-thinking leadership, and sustained contributions to her industry.

The Gold-level award acknowledges three areas of Shenoy's leadership: her strategic pivot of BackBox to a unified Network Cyber Resilience Platform grounded in automation; the company's strongest financial performance to date, including placement on the Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Private Companies; and her ongoing advocacy for women in technology through mentoring, speaking, and industry engagement.

"This recognition really belongs to the BackBox team," said Shenoy. "We set out to prove that automation is the foundation of network resilience, not an add-on to it, and our customers' results have made that case for us. I'm equally proud that this award celebrates women shaping the future of technology. The cybersecurity industry becomes stronger with diverse voices and experiences. I'm dedicated to creating opportunities for the next generation of leaders."

"To be recognized as a TITAN is to stand among those who are actively defining the future of business," said Thomas Brandt, spokesperson of the International Awards Associate (IAA). "Rekha Shenoy represents more than achievement. Her success reflects a standard of excellence that extends beyond borders, setting a powerful example for the global business community."

The TITAN Women in Business and Leadership Awards score entries on a 100-point scale across criteria including originality, business acumen, business expertise, and company culture. Entries scoring 85 and above are named Platinum winners, those between 70 and 84 are Gold winners, and those between 50 and 69 are Silver winners. A global panel of senior executives evaluates each submission on its own merits, with multiple winners possible in each category.
