"We encourage manufacturers to enter The Govies so we can highlight products that secure government entities and staff," said Ralph C. Jensen, editor-in-chief of Security Products magazine. "We are very grateful to all entrants who take the time to share with us and our readers the latest security technologies. The large number of entries we received this year shows that there is more interest than ever in the government security market."

In addition to being honored at ISC West, the winners will be featured on Security-Today.com and highlighted in a future issue of Security Products magazine. The magazine is distributed to more than 65,000* subscribers monthly as well as at numerous trade events, including ISC West.
