WhiteHat Security's Jeremiah Grossman Honored With 2010 Social Security Blogger Award For Best Corporate Blog
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 16 -- WhiteHat Security, the leading provider of website risk management solutions, today announced that Jeremiah Grossman, founder and chief technology officer, was honored with the 2010 Social Security Blogger Award for Best Corporate Blog. The finalists in each category were selected by a panel of judges, with the winners ultimately determined by their peers from the Security Bloggers Network, a network consisting of 300 plus of the top security bloggers and podcasters in the industry.
Grossman's blog has become a respected resource for industry practitioners, press and analysts and currently receives tens of thousands of unique visitors per month. An influential speaker and author, Grossman populates his blog with a blend of industry news, the latest Web attacks and vulnerability information, and WhiteHat Security content. Grossman brings a decade of industry expertise and fresh ideas to the fore, which led his peers to select his blog over those including Microsoft's MSRC and Cisco Security Blog.
"When I first started blogging five years ago, Web security had already been a long-time passion of mine. The blog provided a platform to release cutting edge information, explore security concepts - new and old, and interact with people all over the world sharing similar interests. I never imagined there would be so many," said Grossman. "That's really what has kept me writing, the interaction with others who have different experiences, unique points of view, and those who work to solve day-to-day challenges. With so many other stellar blogs that I read on a daily basis, a Social Security Blogger Award is truly an honor."
"The quality of the blogs nominated as finalists this year was extraordinary," said Alan Shimel, managing partner, The CISO Group, LLC and manager of the Security Bloggers Network. "Jeremiah was chosen as the winner in the category of Best Corporate Blog. The fact that he was chosen by his peers and fellow bloggers, who live and breathe this every day is a true testament to how great Jeremiah's blog is. The community believes he is a great industry resource who is taking Web application security to a new level.
A key ingredient to his success is that he adds a personal touch to his blog and provides real-life examples backed by solid research, making it appealing to a broad audience."
The Social Security Blogger Awards, created by the Security Bloggers Network, were announced during the 4th Annual Security Bloggers Meetup at RSA. The panel of judges responsible for selecting the finalists included: Bill Brenner, CSO; Kelly Jackson Higgins, Dark Reading; Mike Fratto, Network Computing; and Larry Walsh, Channel Insider.
