Information Security Pros arguably have the hardest job in IT. Not only do they have to keep up with rapidly changing technology trends, but also the relentless pace of new threats. They defend their organizations against adversaries that are often organized with more funds and resources at their disposal.

Fortunately, the information security field is filled with strong, talented and dedicated people who are up to the challenge. In this month’s issue we recognize seven such professionals in our eighth-consecutive Security 7 Awards. Also in this issue, our editorial staff and industry practitioners lead insightful conversations on security education and industry certifications, how to keep trade secrets secret, new and old vulnerabilities to be on the lookout for and much more.
