Krebsonsecurity Author Twice Honored
Summary: At the RSA Conference in San Francisco in March 2010, krebsonsecurity.com received two peer recognition awards: one from the SANS Institute, which polled 75 cybersecurity journalists and found the site received twice as many votes as the runner-up, Robert McMillan, and another from the Security Bloggers Network, which named it the top non-technical security blog. The SANS honor was shared alongside reporters including USA Today's Byron Acohido, Wired.com's Kim Zetter, and Dan Goodin of The Register, while the Security Bloggers award came with nominations alongside Taosecurity's Richard Bejtlich and Bruce Schneier.
What's compelling: The SANS result came from 75 working cybersecurity journalists ranking their own peers, so the margin - twice the votes of the next reporter - reflects how the industry's press corps itself weighed the site's sourcing and accuracy.
