Ray Stanton, vice president, BT Advise, BT Global Services, and chairman of the judging panel, said: It has been another fascinating and busy year for journalists writing about information security. The number and outstanding quality of submissions challenged our judges more than ever, and has made for an impressive shortlist that we are incredibly proud of.
Professor Dr. Hannes P. Lubich, University of Applied Sciences, North-Western Switzerland and one of the judges, said: There is a growing recognition that information security is at the heart of contemporary business and families' digital life. Judging this year's BT awards was no easy task due to the incredible quality of cutting-edge journalism about Information Security, not to mention the breadth of globally relevant topics covered.
