DALLAS — ESX has released the category winners for the 2020 ESX Innovation Award competition. The products and services were selected by an independent panel of judges based on a set of criteria that considered innovation, end-user experience, response to market need and more.
“We are proud to highlight next gen products and services that create new opportunities for security professionals to deliver what end users want,” says George De Marco, ESX Chair. “Many companies also want to gain insights on how to more effectively grow their revenues and maximize their profits.”
In the coming days, ESX will select 10 category winners to present their products for the ESX TechVision Challenge, a Shark Tank-style format scheduled to take place the week of Aug. 17. This year’s TechVision Challenge will be conducted virtually, with an on-demand video recording made available to the public.
