BT opens nominations for the Information Security Journalism Awards 2013 International category introduced for the first time - opening up competition to journalists outside of the UK
Entries are now open for the seventh annual BT Information Security Journalism Awards. Created in 2005, the awards recognise, reward and inspire journalists working in this hugely important field.
Up until now the awards have celebrated the quality of security journalism in the UK and the importance of information security to British organisations. This years awards open up the competition to journalists from outside of the UK with a brand new international category, acknowledging the growing popularity of the awards and the increased importance of information security in the global market place.
Last year there was an encouraging response to two new categories Best Investigative Feature of the Year and Best Security Broadcast Feature/News Story of the Year. The expert judging panel commented that the quality of entries was outstanding. A broad range of entries were received from news outlets including The Guardian, BBC News and Channel 4 leading to the awards being the most prestigious to date.
BT is committed to improving information security and recognises the importance of security to the UK and beyond, from home users through to multi-national organisations. Its business dedicated to serving customers in this important field, BT Security, is one of the largest security and business continuity practices in the world . Made up of industry experts and leading security minds, it has extensive experience in implementing security solutions for some of the largest global organisations.
This year the awards will again be judged by an expert panel, chaired by Ray Stanton, vice president, BT Advise, BT Global Services, and made up of leading independent figures from the security industry including (in alphabetical order):
Dr. Robert Coles CISO & Head of Digital Risk & Security, National Grid
Ron Condon Freelance Journalist
Graham Edwards Head of Group Information Risk, Centrica Plc
Professor Dr. Hannes P. Lubich University of Applied Sciences, North-Western Switzerland
Malcolm Marshall Global Leader, Information Protection Services, KPMG
Professor Fred Piper Information Security Group, Royal Holloway, University of London
Misha Glenny, independent journalist, author, and winner of last year's Best Investigative Feature of the Year award said: There is a growing recognition that information security is at the heart of contemporary business and families' digital life. The need for informed, readable and cutting-edge journalism about Information Security has never been greater. BTs awards are making a significant contribution to sharpening the output in this key area of the media.
Ray Stanton said: The awards have now become a fixture in the calendar for information security journalists, reflecting the increased importance of information security and the valuable work that the media does in this field.
We are delighted to host the event for the seventh year and remain committed to improving information security in the UK and internationally. We recognise the vital role that journalism plays in raising awareness among businesses and the public about the issues surrounding security and the steps that can be taken to remain secure.
Over recent years we have seen increased depth and new styles of reporting on information security. To recognise this, last year we introduced two new award categories: Best Investigative Feature of the Year and Best Security Broadcast Feature/News Story of the Year. This year for the first time we have opened the awards up to journalists outside the UK by introducing a brand new international category.
The winners will be announced at an awards lunch to be held at a central London venue in November 2013. Awards will be presented in the following categories:
Information Security Journalist of the Year - £2,000 prize
BT Enigma Award - £1,000 prize
