These finalists have shown that they are the best at what they do.”

“We’re honored to be chosen as an SC Awards finalist once again in the Best Computer Forensic Solution category,” said Michael Harris, chief marketing officer at Guidance Software. “As incident responders increasingly focus on the invaluable forensic residue left behind by cyber attackers, we’ll continue to innovate so that security teams have real-time access to the artifacts that help them stop attacks faster and maximize operational success.”

Winners in the Excellence category are determined by an expert panel of judges, handpicked by SC Magazine’s editorial team, for their breadth of knowledge and experience in the information security industry.
