For the fourth consecutive year, Trustwave Government Solutions (TGS) President Bill Rucker was honored by MeriTalk with its Cyber Defenders Award.

"I am once again honored to stand alongside such an impressive group of leaders," Rucker said. "TGS' mission helps safeguard our government, and I'm privileged to contribute. This recognition reflects not just my efforts, but the entire TGS team's groundbreaking work in federal cybersecurity."

Rucker earned this prestigious award from the federal government IT news and events provider for driving innovation, advancing the nation's cybersecurity, and making significant contributions across cyber programs in Federal IT.

"These leaders are pioneering the latest innovations transforming government cybersecurity," said Caroline Boyd, principal, government programs at MeriTalk. "We're thrilled to celebrate their work spearheading cyber modernization and the impacts they have on our nation's cybersecurity."
