The Security Innovator Awards is the industry’s only 100% peer-nominated program to recognize the innovative contributions made by individuals in the security industry – from integrators to consultants, to practitioners, to manufacturers and service providers.
Instead of forming a panel or a committee to accept and vet nominations, we opened this award to anyone to be able to recognize a fellow employee or a partner with whom they work closely for being innovative. We think it fills a unique void in this industry for peer-nominated recognition.
“The Security Innovator Awards emphasize applauding innovation and reward those individuals who demonstrate an outstanding level of excellence within our vital and constantly evolving industry,” says SecurityInfoWatch Editorial Director Steve Lasky.
Through email outreach and social media, we asked everyone in the industry to nominate a deserving colleague for consideration. This year’s version of the Security Innovator Awards gained significant momentum, more than doubling last year’s nominations.
We asked them to focus on a key aspect of the nominee’s innovation – someone who, for example:
• Devised a new or innovative way to deploy a technology solution;
• Stepped up during a crisis or other emergency;
• Went above and beyond to have a positive impact in the community or for our industry;
• Developed a new, game-changing technology, feature, or standard;
• Demonstrated a long career of innovation;
• And more – as long as it was industry-related and innovative, it was considered.
