Find out the top 10 influencers in security management, part of IFSEC Global’s security & fire influencers 2018, in the video below.
First, we invited nominations from the IFSEC Global audience and beyond. Then, a panel of judges, drawn from across the industries and barred from featuring in the list themselves, assigned points to each nomination based on the persuasiveness of the nomination.
We defined ‘influence’ in the following ways:
Someone who has played a key role in driving innovation
Someone who has been a driving force in changing regulation, standards/guidance or best practice
Someone whose insights/opinions are widely respected and which are influential in shaping debate around industry issues
Someone who has been instrumental in the success of the organisation or business they lead or are employed by
Someone who has helped to raise the industry’s profile or been an influential voice in the national media
We’d like to thank Grant Lecky, co-founder of the Security Partners Forum, for his tireless efforts as lead judge. Lecky, who himself featured in IFSEC Global’s list of top influencers in 2014 and 2017, appointed the panel of judges (which you can also view below) and coordinated the nominations and judging process. Thanks also to Bonnie Butlin, also co-founder of the Security Partners Forum and number one in last year’s international thought leader rankings, for helping to coordinate the process.
