The annual SC Awards U.S. honor those companies and individuals whose innovative products, and services have most strongly contributed to the vitality of the IT security industry here in North America.While we honor the best in the Western Hemisphere, our colleagues in London will hold a similar event on April 27 to bestow recognition on European contenders.With the readers of SC Magazine and a distinguished judging panel having made their selections, we present forthe first time in 2009, the finalists for the Reader Trust, Excellence and Professional categories.Reader Trust Awards
