The SANS Best of Awards celebrate security products that make a difference. The products were voted on by more than 650 security operations professionals and security managers from within the SANS community, all of whom are actual users of these products. The awards are not driven by vendors, but by the people actually using these products. The Awards are an extension of the SANS WhatWorks Program which creates awareness of security programs and solutions that are actually being used to stop bad guys and improve security.

The Best of 2014 Award winners and honorable mentions will be recognized at the SANS 2015 (Orlando) training event.
