Stellar Cyber founder and Chief Technology Officer Aimei Wei has won the 2026 Herizon Award in the Founder/Visionary category. The worldwide awards program by the Business Intelligence Group honors outstanding women who have revolutionized the current processes of doing business.
Wei earned this award for introducing groundbreaking technologies to the cybersecurity industry. Due to her visionary leadership at Stellar Cyber, she has revolutionized the ways in which security experts deal with online threats.
Furthermore, Wei established Stellar Cyber to help small and medium enterprises combat complex cyberattacks. She combined artificial intelligence and machine learning with an open API architecture to build a novel security platform. Under her technical leadership, Stellar Cyber developed patented technology that unifies all levels of modern corporate networks.
The Stellar Cyber platform integrates seamlessly with existing security products, IT tools, and enterprise productivity software via pre-built connections. Additionally, an independent research study evaluated the platform’s performance metrics. The study proved that the Stellar Cyber Auto Triage tool gives analysts back nineteen minutes of every hour previously wasted on chasing false security alerts.
“These women aren’t waiting for the world to change. They’re the ones changing it,” said Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer, Business Intelligence Group. “Aimei stood out because her work as Founder and CTO reflects what Herizon is about: real change, led by women, that reaches well beyond a single team.”
