Finalists announced for 2020 Infosec Inspire Awards

MADISON, Wis., September 10, 2020 — Infosec today announced finalists for the 2020 Infosec Inspire Security Awareness Awards. Of the many applications received from clients worldwide, only three finalists were chosen for each of the two award categories — Impact Award and Big Phish Award. 

The Impact Award celebrates the successes of Infosec’s most innovative and inspiring clients and partners. Award-winning success stories detail high-impact security awareness and training initiatives that empower employees and motivate effective security habits. 

The Big Phish Award recognizes clients with the most advanced phishing training programs. Award-winning programs harness the most powerful tools of persuasion — customization, impersonation and urgency — to teach employees how to avoid even the most devious phishing attacks in the wild.

Finalists for the Impact Award include:

• Racine Unified School District - Chief Information Office — Racine, Wisconsin
• Maryland Department of Information Technology — Crownsville, Maryland  
• Hutchens Law Firm LLP — Fayetteville, North Carolina 

Finalists for the Big Phish Award include:

• DKBinnovative — Dallas, Texas
• Loren D. Stark Company — Houston, Texas
• E-J Electric Installation Co. — Long Island City, New York 

Winners in both categories will be announced during the Inspire Awards ceremony held on September 22 during the Infosec Inspire Cyber Skills Virtual Summit. The only event of its kind, Inspire is hyper-focused on the human side of security — equipping cybersecurity leaders with knowledge and insights to develop employee cyber skills, forge their organization's security culture and make a lasting impact. Held virtually in 2020, event registration is open and free. Learn more about Infosec Inspire here.
