Regula Blog Wins Second Consecutive Cybersecurity Excellence Award for Its Identity Security Coverage

RESTON, Va., Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regula, a global developer of identity verification solutions and forensic devices, has once again been named a winner in the Cybersecurity Blog category of the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. This is the second consecutive year the blog has been recognized by the awards, following its 2025 Best Cybersecurity Blog title. The award honors the Regula Blog for turning complex developments and emerging trends in identity fraud prevention, biometrics, document authentication, digital identity, and forensic science into practical knowledge for cybersecurity professionals.

The Regula Blog has received the Cybersecurity Excellence Award for the second consecutive year. It publishes original research, technical analysis, and practical guidance for professionals in identity verification, fraud prevention, biometrics, document authentication, and forensic examination.

Over the past year, the Regula Blog itself has changed. What started as a resource built largely around Regula's own expertise has continued to evolve into a broader knowledge platform. Today, it combines regular annual research, technical analysis, practical guidance, and perspectives from over 20 experts inside and outside the company with proven track record in document forensics, identity verification, biometrics, etc. One of the Blog’s long-running reader favorites is the Top-Notch ID Document Processing Worldwide series, which takes a country-by-country look at passports, national IDs, driver's licenses, and the quirks and security features that make them particularly interesting (or difficult) to verify.

Following identity threats from research to reality

Identity has become an increasingly important part of the cybersecurity conversation. Deepfake impersonation, AI-assisted fraud, document manipulation, synthetic identities, and new forms of digital identity are changing both how attacks happen and how organizations defend against them.

The Regula Blog follows these trends beyond the headline. Its articles examine how identity attacks work in real verification environments, what new research reveals about emerging risks, and how security, compliance, and risk teams can translate those findings into stronger identity controls.

The Regula Blog has placed greater emphasis on original research and analysis, complementing technical explainers and practical guides on document authentication, biometrics, KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks, digital IDs, deepfakes, and identity fraud. This combination of proprietary data and hands-on forensic and identity verification expertise was among the strengths highlighted in the 2026 award nomination.

More voices, more markets

The Regula Blog has also expanded beyond its English-language audience. Since April 2025, it has been available in Spanish, with both localized content and original articles created for Spanish-speaking readers.

At the same time, Regula has continued opening the platform to external experts and contributors, adding perspectives from professionals across industries and regions alongside insights from the company's own identity verification and forensic specialists.

“Cybersecurity is increasingly an identity problem. As attacks become more sophisticated, professionals need to understand how threats actually work and what they can do about them. That's what we've been building with the Regula Blog: a place where our own research and decades of forensic expertise in labs and at border crossings meet perspectives from practitioners around the world. Receiving this recognition for the second year in a row tells us that this kind of practical, evidence-based knowledge is valuable to the community,” says Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula.
