Microsoft Security 20\/20 is nearly here and our team is putting the final touches on what we think will be a memorable event. Microsoft Security 20\/20 will put the spotlight on companies and individuals with a clear-eyed view of the security challenges we face and smart solutions to help solve them. By working together, we advance the vision of what\u2019s possible\u2014and our joint customers\u2019 security is stronger because of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSolving our mutual customers’ security challenges is very much a team sport. I\u2019m excited to recognize these leaders in the ecosystem at Microsoft\u2019s inaugural security awards.\u201d

About the event<\/h3>\n

At the inaugural Microsoft Security 20\/20 partner awards, we\u2019ll celebrate finalists in 16 award categories that span security integration partners, system integrators, and managed security service providers. The awards gala will take place February 23, 2020\u2014the Sunday before the RSA Conference in San Francisco. All finalists have been invited to attend this private event. Opening remarks from Ann Johnson, Corporate Vice President of the Cybersecurity Solutions Group, will center around Microsoft\u2019s vision for the security ecosystem and how\u2014together\u2014we\u2019ll help our customers get clarity on security.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe themes for Microsoft Security 20\/20 are vision and clarity. Microsoft is focused on protecting our customers\u00a0and there is no vision for the future that doesn\u2019t involve security partners. We\u2019re hosting the first Microsoft Security 20\/20 partner awards\u00a0gala to honor security partners that are making an impact through technology development and customer enablement.\u201d

Better together<\/h3>\n

I passionately believe that the security ecosystem must work together to realize a future where people, information, and companies are safer. Microsoft Security 20\/20 honors partners that have developed and delivered exceptional Microsoft-based solutions and services during the past year that put us on the path toward that vision.<\/p>\n

The award categories and finalists were selected by a cross functional group within Microsoft. These finalists were chosen among a global field of top Microsoft partners for demonstrating excellence in innovation, integration, and customer implementation. Winners will be chosen based on a vote from a broad swath of Microsoft Security experts, which includes engineers, marketers, partners, managers, security architects, and more.<\/p>\n

This blog would not be complete without showcasing each and every one of these amazing companies and visionary industry leaders, because in a kaleidoscope of security threats and news, these finalists offer an inspiring vision for the future.<\/p>\n
