Nominations are now open!

After a challenging year and a half, there are countless examples of security
professionals that have gone above and beyond. The Security Institute Gala
Awards wants to recognise and celebrate these professionals for their
achievements and contributions to the security sector.
Beyond the impacts of Covid, 2020 and 2021 have both proven to
be record-breaking years for the Institute: a record number of new
members joining, more SIGs in operation than ever before and the
launch of the Secure Futures programme to name but a few notable
accomplishments. This means there have been more achievements and
contributions in our Institute community than in any year prior.

Nomination are still open for the 2021 Awards Gala until October 1st. You
can nominate in the following categories; (we welcome self-nominations as
well as peer and colleague nominations)
