The 2012 Security Excellence Awards – organised by UBM Live’s Security Portfolio in conjunction with Info4Security.com – take place on Wednesday 17 October at the prestigious Hilton Hotel on London’s Park Lane.
Now into its fourteenth edition, the ceremony is rightly regarded as the Oscars of the security profession with its 18 categories spanning every sub-sector – from guarding to management, systems evolution to IT and beyond.
New for 2012 is the Security Recruitment Consultancy of the Year category which runs alongside established favourites – among them the ACS Champion of the Year, Security Consultant of the Year, Security Partnering Initiative of the Year, the International Achievement Award and Security Training Initiative of the Year.
