“The SC Award’s Professional Award category represents the highest caliber of leadership in the cybersecurity industry,” added Illena Armstrong of SC Media. “As a finalist, the Zuora security team has shown unique creativity and passion in their approach to addressing and combating even the most challenging cybersecurity issues.”
“In an age where threats are ever-evolving, it is reassuring to know that one true constant is the commitment of dedicated information security professionals, as best exemplified by our SC Media Awards finalists,” said Illena Armstrong, VP, editorial, SC Media. “These inspiring innovators have set a high bar for their industry peers, as they continue to protect the world from attacks and vulnerabilities that imperil our security, privacy, and digital infrastructure.

Winners will be announced at the SC Awards ceremony on April 17, 2018 in San Francisco.
