Submissions are voted on by two panels of judges comprising a range of cybersecurity industry luminaries – from current and former CISOs to vendor-neutral consultants or analysts to educators from academic institutions – all members of SC’s esteemed audience.

After averages for each category are tallied, finalists are announced in January 2018 and winners are decided and revealed at the SC Awards 2018 Dinner on April 17, 2018. PLEASE NOTE: Results are completely independent. Financial/advertising considerations play no part in the results. That is, no one can “buy” a win by advertising, partnering or working with SC and its various team members!

● Combine custom options suited to your needs. ● Change ticket quantity to SC Awards ceremony. ● A full-page ad in the digital SC Awards Book of the Night, distributed online and
