Will you celebrate success at the Security Awards 2020?
This year we will present a special one-time prize for security performance in the coronavirus pandemic
The huge rise in remote working as a result of the coronavirus pandemic has thrown a stark light on the need for robust cyber-security. It is no longer enough to protect the perimeter of a single office: modern IT teams must be prepared to defend hundreds or thousands of locations they cannot physically reach.
Computing's Security Excellence Awards, now returning for 2020, celebrate the achievements of the IT industry's leading security players - from companies and solutions to products and personalities - that are keeping every other part of the industry, and arguably the world, operating.
With product and project-related awards, combined with organisational categories and accolades recognising outstanding individual achievement, there's an award to showcase every organisation's successes - and, this year, a special prize recognising success in the coronavirus crisis.
The one-time Pandemic Resilience Award will be presented to the team or company that has risen to the security challenge of COVID-19. Our judges want to hear about the issues you faced, how you overcame them and what the outcome of your work will be on the future of the company. Has the culture changed for good? What lessons have you learned that will affect how you work going forward? This prize is open to companies of any size and sector - the only requirement is that you found security success during and in spite of the crisis.
