Computing Security Excellence Awards 2016: and the winners are...

All the gongs, all the highly commendeds listed in full

And that was the Computing Security Excellence Awards 2016 - the inaugural year of the new industry standard for peer recognition in UK IT security.

If you were there, we hope you had as much fun as we did, and if you weren't there - why weren't you there?

The evening was opened up by Salvation Army CIO Martyn Croft, who spoke about his work developing much-needed IT security awareness in the third sector. A fantastic three-course meal followed, and then 'freestyle rapper' Chris Turner took the stage, weaving mind-bending (and hilarious) rhymes from any topic or object the audience put in front of him.

After this, it was time to hand out the glassware.
