Honoring People Who Make a Difference in Cybersecurity
BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SANS Institute, the global leader in cybersecurity training and certifications, today announced that the call for nominations for the SANS 2022 Difference Makers Awards is open. SANS is accepting nominations for individuals, teams, and groups from within the SANS community who have implemented security processes or technology in 2022 that resulted in meaningful and measurable advances in security.
Nominations are open through October 24, 2022.

The SANS Difference Makers Awards honor people who make a difference in cybersecurity
This year, SANS has expanded the Difference Maker Awards to include new categories and celebrate the most influential champions, focused on building the next generation.  A "people's choice" popular vote will also be featured this year. Nominations are open now, and the awards ceremony will take place in December.

Awards categories include:
"Over the past ten years, we've had a very diverse and global group of people celebrated as Difference Makers," said SANS Director of Emerging Security Trends John Pescatore. "SANS Difference Makers have gone on to both raise the bar on cybersecurity and inspire others to do so as well."
The common denominator in each nominee is their willingness and ability to do what SANS calls "Fight the Good Fight" in advancing the state of practice in cybersecurity.
Nominations will be evaluated by a team from SANS, security industry analysts, and thought leaders. Winners will be announced and celebrated in December in-person at the SANS Cyber Defense Initiative® 2022 training event.
