Industry recognition continues for RES. Business IT, with the team named a finalist in two more Australian technology awards programs for 2026.
RES has been named a finalist in the Industrial & Energy Security Partners category at the 2026 Benchmark Security Awards, powered by iTnews and techpartner.news.
The Benchmark Security Awards recognise Australian security leaders and technology partners helping organisations strengthen cyber security and resilience.
The nomination reflects RES’s work across cyber security, secure networking and operational technology (OT), helping customers strengthen resilience while balancing security with the practical demands of their operating environments.
RES has also been named a finalist in the Partner – SMB category at the 2026 ARN Innovation Awards.
Celebrating its twentieth year in 2026, the ARN Innovation Awards recognise organisations and individuals contributing to innovation across the Australian technology channel. The Partner category recognises technology partners delivering innovative solutions that create meaningful outcomes for their customers.
For RES, the nomination reflects the practical approach the team brings to technology, understanding what customers need, simplifying complexity and delivering solutions designed to support their business now and into the future.
“These nominations reflect the breadth of work happening across RES, but more importantly the way our team approaches it. We take the time to understand the customer environment first, then apply technology in a practical way. It’s great to see that work recognised across both security and innovation,” said RES Managing Director Ben Hopper.
The latest nominations form part of a strong year of industry recognition for RES, following five finalist nominations across the techpartner.news Impact Awards and CRN Channel Awards Australia, as well as Ben Hopper being named Role Model of the Year at the 2026 CRN Channel Awards Australia.
The ARN Innovation Awards will be held in Sydney on 28 October, followed by the Benchmark Security Awards on 11 November.
