The ICYMI Weekly Round-Up: September 18–22, 2017

Greetings. In case you were wondering, “ICYMI” is short for “in case you missed it.” And this is a weekly digest of recent news, events, and content in and around Ivanti and Ivanti.com. We hope you find it both interesting and useful. Let us know via email to [email protected] – and thanks!

This Week’s Big News: VOTE FOR PHIL!

It’s a short blog post, so here it is in its entirety.

“Our CISO Phil Richards is a finalist for Computing Security’s Contribution to Cyber Security Award! Please vote for him in the following category (four from the bottom):

“The Contribution to Cyber Security Award: Which individual deserves recognition for the part that he or she has played in the fight against security threats?

“Voting closes on October 5, 2017, and the awards night is October 12, 2017 at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel in London.”
