Security Awareness Blog Wins Best Overall and Best Tech Company Blog

SEMINOLE, FL (February 24, 2005) â€" In an upset victory, The Security Awareness Blog for Ma, Pa and the Corporate Clueless received the most online votes in both categories it was nominated for in the 2005 Business Blogging Awards.

In the Best Tech Company category, The Security Awareness Blog competed against two popular Microsoft employee bloggers and an Apple employee blogger. In Best Overall, Security Awareness topped five well established blogs by experts in the emerging industry of business blogging.

“Our strategy has been simple since the beginning, offer our readers great and useful content on the blog,� said Winn Schwartau, president of The Security Awareness Company, which maintains the blog. “When we asked for their support, they responded in overwhelming numbers.�

The voting took place at www.businessbloggingawards.com, sponsored by blog consultants www.Insideblogging.com. After a small hiccup with the original voting software, organizers found a secure solution where voters could only vote once, based on IP address.

This is the first ever awards of its kind as business blogs became more popular in 2004. The Security Awareness blog was created in June of 2004 as a new tool for Winn Schwartau’s Security Awareness Company (Interpact Inc.) to communicate with its audience. Blog regulars find up-to-date computer security information and tips from The Security Awareness Company team and commentaries from other top experts in the Information Security Industry. The eight-month-old blog can be found at: http://securityawareness.blogspot.com

“It’s great that we’ve been recognized as one of the best business blogs. That means we really are creating a “security aware� culture of computer users,� Schwartau added. “It’s the people, not just the technology that will limit computer security threats in the future.�

The Security Awareness blog has an Atom formatted XML site feed for syndication and news readers, along with other standard RSS feeds. The blog also has a convenient email update for opt-in subscribers, which is normally sent twice a week, Schwartau added.
