SC Magazine honoured Australia's top providers and practitioners in information security last night at a gala ball at the AusCERT conference on the Gold Coast.
Secure Computing (Australia) Magazine and Australia's Computer Emergency Response Team (AusCERT) handed out gongs to organisations, individuals, projects and products that pushed the boundaries of information security.
Announcing the awards before about 800 delegates, SC Magazine editor in chief Nate Cochrane said submissions to the second SC Awards had nearly trebled.
"Trawling through the submissions, investigating, validating and disposing of the claims was a difficult and time-consuming task," Cochrane said.
"We turned to our network of labs in Britain and the US, users of the products and channel partners for their feedback.
"Such a task isn't possible without the hard work, commitment and diligence of our expert panel of judges who gave freely of their time and insights ."
