The nominees represent a diverse field of businesses and industries and include representatives from all over the United States. In its third year, the ISE National Award is the culmination of the 2006 ISE Program Series? and is granted for excellence in enterprise-wide risk management, data asset protection, regulatory compliance, privacy, information security, Internet and network security systems.
Nominee applications will be reviewed by a panel of judges who will select five finalists and a winner. Those results will not be known until the finalists are showcased and the winner's name revealed at the gala ceremony on November 6, 2006. The winner of the National Award will join six other industry leaders who have been selected as ISE of the Year for a specific region within the U.S.
"The ISE National Award draws a very strong field of talented nominees," said Robert Richardson, director of the Computer Security Institute. "2006 is no exception."
"We are so pleased to record another banner year for the ISE National Awards," said Marci McCarthy, CEO of Executive Alliance. "If you look at the titles and company names of our nominees, you can see the increasing role Information Security plays in the success of business throughout the nation."
