Caveon Observer™ Named "Remote Learning Solution of the Year" in 8th Annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards Program

Salt Lake City, Utah – June 11, 2026. Caveon, the leading exam security provider in high-stakes testing, today announced Observer has been named as the winner of the “Remote Learning Solution of the Year” award in the 8th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market. This recognition reflects Caveon’s leadership and commitment to helping education and certification programs maintain assessment integrity in remote learning environments through a more secure, scalable, and test-taker-friendly approach to exam monitoring.

Caveon earned this recognition through its paradigm-shifting solution, Observer, which enables organizations to monitor remote exams through a blend of data-driven signals, system-level alerts, and human expertise. The platform evaluates behavioral events and system triggers to identify potential risks during an exam session. When those signals reach defined thresholds, Observer generates review tasks for trained analysts to evaluate, ensuring decisions remain grounded in expert human judgment. As education and certification programs increasingly rely on online learning models, ensuring that exams remain fair, secure, and defensible has become a critical requirement, and Observer helps organizations maintain assessment integrity at scale.

‘We are so thrilled to be named as a breakthrough solution of the year,” said David Foster, founder and CEO of Caveon. “Maintaining integrity in remote learning environments requires more than monitoring individual exam sessions. Protecting exam outcomes requires systems that generate evidence, scale reliably, and enhance human judgment rather than replace it. We like to say that Observer is not a proctoring solution, but the solution to proctoring.”

Beyond exam monitoring, Caveon's approach recognizes that maintaining integrity in remote learning environments requires security solutions designed for the current threat landscape. The company works with testing organizations to embed security throughout the assessment lifecycle, including exam design, delivery, and post-exam analysis. By combining secure exam design, analytical monitoring, and human oversight, Caveon helps programs preserve assessment validity while expanding access to remote learning and certification opportunities for test takers of every kind.

“Maintaining the integrity of high-stakes assessments delivered outside traditional testing environments is a challenge. Online exams must remain fair, secure, and defensible for programs that rely on distributed, remote learning models,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, EdTech Breakthrough. “By combining preventative design strategies with analytical monitoring, Caveon protects the validity of assessments that support academic progress and professional advancement and enables institutions to scale secure remote learning and assessment programs without sacrificing fairness or transparency.”
