Voting for the 2024 SIW Readers' Choice Product Awards is CLOSED. The winning products will be announced ON NOVEMBER 19.
About the Award
The SecurityInfoWatch Readers’ Choice Product Awards is the industry’s only ZERO-COST security product recognition program where the people who know, use and install the products are the ones who choose the winners.
How it Works
Manufacturer submittal period (CLOSES ON JULY 26, 2024): Hardware and software manufacturers may submit a maximum of two products (using the form at the bottom of this page) for products that were officially introduced to the market between April 1, 2023 and July 1, 2024.

Reader voting (RUNS FROM AUG. 19 to SEPT. 29): Any SecurityInfoWatch reader may vote for their favorite product in each category (one vote only per IP address).
