BT Information Security Journalism Awards 2014 shortlist announced BT today announced the shortlist for the BT Information Security Journalism Awards 2014. Now in their eighth year the awards recognise and reward journalists working in the field of information and cyber security.
This year saw a record number of entries from journalists across the globe, a real testament to the growing prominence and vital role that information security plays within organisations today.
Ray Stanton, vice president, BT Advise, BT Global Services, and chairman of the judging panel, said: The sheer volume of entries this year clearly shows it has been another busy year for journalists writing about information and cyber security. As this hot topic regularly makes the headlines of national newspapers, broadcast and trade publications across the globe, we expect this trend to continue.
The outstanding quality and breadth of submissions has certainly challenged our judges. It inspired some lively and in-depth debate with these established industry experts on the judging day. Once again, we believe that this has made for an impressive shortlist we are incredibly proud of. We would like to thank all of the journalists who entered the awards for their outstanding contribution to the industry. Congratulations go to those journalists who have been shortlisted and we look forward to seeing them at the awards ceremony on November 19.

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.
