SecureSphere was shortlisted from more than 600 entries submitted in more than 30 technology categories in the Reader Trust Award competition, which honors best-in-class security products and services. Winners will be chosen by a panel of readers that represent the circulation of SC Magazine. The Reader Trust Voting Panel is comprised of a cross-section of SC Magazine readership that is comprised of large, medium and small enterprises from all major vertical markets. CSO of the Year will be decided by an expert panel of judges.
"The SC Awards are globally recognized as one of the leading technology recognition programs in the information security industry. To have SecureSphere and one of our customers nominated as finalists is very gratifying," said Shlomo Kramer, president and CEO of Imperva. "The fact that Web Application Security is a standalone category for the first time this year illustrates the growing importance and rise to prominence of Application Data Security as a core discipline."
The annual SC Awards have recognized security's key contributors and outstanding products for more than a decade. As the industry's preeminent awards program, individuals, brands and products shortlisted address not only the challenges prominent today, but also the emerging threat landscape of tomorrow.
Winners of this year's SC Awards will be announced at a gala dinner and award ceremony to be held in San Francisco on April 21, 2009.
