“We are honored to be selected as a finalist for this prestigious business solutions award,” said Michael Harris, chief marketing officer at Guidance. “Cyber threats have never been so numerous or challenging. Proper detection and remediation must be a priority. Guidance Software’s EnCase solution represents one of the most effective forensic security technologies on the market with its deep 360-degree visibility into endpoints, servers and data stores.”

The first review of all SIIA CODiE Awards nominees is conducted by software and business technology executives with considerable industry expertise, including members of the industry, analysts, media, bloggers, bankers and investors. Judges select the CODiE Awards finalists. SIIA members then vote on the finalist products and the scores from both rounds are tabulated to select the winners. Winners will be announced during a virtual award ceremony on May 18.
