We highlight, showcase and support the most successful security professionals
The ITBN Award was established in 2010 with the aim of recognizing, showcasing, and supporting the most successful security professionals, security implementations, domestic and foreign manufacturer innovations, successful projects, and the work of the organizations that embrace and execute them. The award ceremony takes place during the ITBN CONF-EXPO, in the presence of industry experts, in a dignified setting, with press coverage. The winner is entitled to use, present, and freely communicate the designation and associated award of the 'ITBN Security Award' for the respective year.
Do you know of a specialist who has already prevented a major information security incident? Besides you, your colleagues and friends, does anyone know about this?
We created the Incident Management Award to give due recognition to this important and often invisible work. If you think that:
In case of any request, our colleagues can report the most instructive stories personally or even "anonymously" through a representative. We treat all inquiries confidentially, please contact us with a short message at one of our contacts below, we will contact you
