Significance of SC Magazine Awards   Europe 2012

• Third party validation by a leading dedicated security publication
• Third party validation by peers
• Marketing/promotional rights for a year, subject to licensing
• A number of potential marketing/branding/lead generation opportunities for the recipients

 According to SC Magazine UK - panels of industry judges from the highest levels of the information security profession pass judgment on the products and services put before them.  Another  panel of judges that includes the SC editorial team is employed to decide who should win one of the Professional Awards. 

Let the upgrading of the websites, revising  of pdfs, new banner ads, new lead gen campaigns, and modification of slide decks begin. When you visit websites, and they're displaying winners logos, pay attention to the year on them ;) .  These things can take awhile to get off of websites, boxes, presos, et cetera.

Mind the Gap.
