SC Magazine Awards 2009 > Winners

As part of the IT security industry's leading global awards program, the SC Awards U.S. was organized to honor the professionals, companies and products that help fend off the myriad security threats confronted in today's corporate world.

SC Awards homes in on the achievements of the guys and gals in the trenches, the innovations happening in the vendor and service provider communities, and the passionate work of government, commercial and nonprofits working to help the industry.

Now in its 12th year, the SC Awards continues to gain momentum. With over 650 nominations last year, we expect these numbers to continue to increase as the demand for security grows. With 31 categories, there is a place for everyone to display their products and services which affect IT security today.
