I’m in the process of updating WordPress versions, so some plugins and pages may be broken for a short period of time.

Thanks for puttin’ up with my mess!

Final days to vote- SBN Blog & Podcast Awards

No Comments Written by jj on January 24, 2012 – 5:08 pm

It’s Tuesday, January 24th, which means there are just 4 days left to vote for your top blogs and podcasts finalists for the Security Bloggers Network Awards, to be presented at RSA Conference USA 2012.

If you’re a member blogger of the SBN, then you’re eligible to vote. Finalists were selected from a panel of outstanding judges (kept secret until after the nominations and finalists were announced).

2012 SBN Awards Judges (they selected finalists)

• Kelly Jackson Higgins
• Bill Brenner
• Larry Walsh
• and guest judge: Wendy Nather

SBN Bloggers and Podcasters can vote until 1/27 at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2012securityblogger.

I’ll tell you that I skipped answering a few, because there were categories with blogs that I wasn’t familiar with and didn’t feel comfortable answering. It’s okay to skip any you’re not sure about; it will let you continue on voting.

The nominations are listed below. Winners will be announced at the SBN Blogger Awards ceremony during the RSA Conference next month in San Francisco.

Good luck to everyone!
