The SC Magazine Awards Europe 2007 ceremony was held in the stunningsurroundings of the Hurlingham Club, in glamorous Chelsea. Truly aninternational occasion, SC welcomed leading information securityprofessionals and vendors from around the globe.
The evening, hosted by TV and radio star Paul Ross, got off to a finestart with a speech from the editor of SC Magazine, Paul Fisher.Comedian Milton Jones kept the crowd amused before the all-importantprize-giving got underway, with the award for best content securitystarting the proceedings.
The awards, in their 12th year, aim to reward the best products, peopleand services in the information security industry. Reflecting afast-changing and maturing business, the number of award categories wasreduced, and included a new award for innovation, which was won bySecerno. There were four award categories: reader trust, excellence,technology and professional, with winners chosen by a dedicated panel often judges. For the first time, both the CSO of the Year and OutstandingAchievement awards went to women.
All our winners were delighted to get their hands on the coveted SCAward trophies. Others saw it as a fantastic opportunity to mix withtheir peers, make new contacts and catch up with old friends andbusiness partners.
