Special: GIT SECURITY AWARD 2012

GIT SECURITY AWARD 2012 - Everyone´s a Winner

"Everyone´s a Winner, baby, that´s the truth", maybe you remember the Hot Chocolate song from the 80´s. First of all: At this year´s GIT SECURITY AWARD all the companies whose products were nominated did win. We introduced their products to a wide audience, the readerships of GIT SECURITY and GIT SICHERHEIT as well as to our users of our online platforms PRO-4-PRO.com, GIT-SECURITY.com and GIT-SICHERHEIT.de. Many of our readers took the opportunity to vote for the best products in the five categories.

Thanks to all participants and congratulation to Michael Steup from Ford Motor Company who did win our reader price, a brandnew Pentax camera.

For several weeks we were presenting the ten nominated products for the five categories in our magazines and online on www.PRO-4-PRO.com to an international audience. The participation was better then ever and we received hundreds of votes via e-mail and fax and even more votes via our voting tool on www.PRO-4-PRO.com/security. Again for this year the race was very tight and a lot of products had good chances to win.

We are looking forward to you joining us again next year for the GIT SECURITY AWARD 2013. And now it is time to have a closer view on the 2012 winners in each category.
