In addition to the questions that are to be completed for evaluation by
the judges, the nomination form contains information on the history of the
awards, judging process, award criteria, and next steps. Nominations are sent
to T.E.N.'s distinguished panel of ISE(TM) North America Judges for review
and scoring. The panel of judges typically consists of previous finalists and
winners of the ISE(TM) Awards. Judges have the final approval in determining
whether an executive or project team is qualified to participate as a nominee
at either the regional or national level. Finalists and winners are not
announced publicly until the evening of the awards.

Considered by many to be "the premier recognition and networking program
for security professionals," the ISE(TM) Awards Program Series has been
recognized as the industry leader in showcasing executives and their teams in
the information security industry across the U.S., Canada and Europe. During
the Leadership Summit and Awards, ISE(TM) Nominees and Project Teams are
honored both during the business segments and the evening awards gala. They
