Security newswire default
June 20, 2019
ISC)² announced the winners of its 2019 Information Security Leadership Awards (ISLA®) Government.

The ISLA Government program recognizes the ongoing commitment of individuals whose initiatives, processes and projects have led to significant improvements in the security posture of a United States government department or agency.
