The Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) are once again returning to Global Security Exchange (GSX) which is being held in New Orleans. This year marks 10 years of celebrating outstanding performers in the US security world. The OSPAs continue to present an opportunity to acknowledge role models and thought leaders who have made a significant contribution in making a difference to the future of security.
Professor Martin Gill, founder of the awards said “I encourage everyone working in the sector to submit at least one nomination; security too often operates under the radar and the OSPAs provide the opportunity to highlight and promote the pioneering work that is being carried out.”
