Here are the winners of the Security Excellence Awards
It was a hotly-contested year - here are the companies that made it big on the night
If 2017 was the year of ransomware, with attacks like WannaCry and NotPetya, then 2018 has been the year of the data breach. Facebook was one of the first enterprise-scale firms to face the threat of penalties under the GDPR, but it will be far from the last: breach complaints have more than doubled since the new regulation came into effect, according to the ICO.
That makes for a fascinating security environment, and one that tests the limits of the most ardent infosec professional. However, the industry has really stepped up to bat - as shown in the extremely high quality of entries for this year's Computing Security Excellence Awards.
The excellent Alistair Barrie presented the awards, as well as joking about politics, Indian call centres and the delights of Stevenage.
And so without further ado - here are the winners.
