Many say that innovation is all but dead in the cybersecurity market. We at SC Magazine, however, believe that innovation is far from lifeless. Looking to honor the brightest information security companies that have recently launched, we'll be holding a competition, the Security Innovators Throwdown, during which leading young companies, chosen by us, will present their goals for their newly developed technologies or services before a judging panel of experts. Our judges will determine just which vendors among the competitors have the most considered business plans and most robust tools that not only could garner interest from buyers, but also possible investment from venture capitalists (VCs).

• Hear from cutting edge security companies to learn what's really the newest technology out there
• Be there for presentations and evaluations on innovation - which is the cornerstone of America and a space we need to win back
• Be present as judges rate, grade and question 10 of the most innovative security companies of 2010 - 5 of which will then end up in the magazine
