Specifically, SenSage is being recognized in the Best SIEM Solution category and for having the Most Effective Federal Agency Security Project with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Information and Technology (Region 1).

The Homeland Security Awards finalists were selected by a panel of objective and independent judges.  These awards were created by Government Security News to salute dedicated officials and their agencies and departments at federal, state and local levels of government who have created effective and cost-efficient security programs. They were also created to salute the outstanding vendors of IT and Physical Security products who have introduced innovative, amazing technologies and products that protect our nation and its people 24/7.

According to Adrian Courtenay, Chairman of World Business Media, LLC, "The initiatives described in the entries from federal, state and local government agencies were perfectly targeted in addressing our vulnerabilities, and the entries from the vendors of IT and physical security products were dazzling in their technological brilliance, reflecting the great public-private partnership that keeps our homeland safe and secure."
