The criteria for inclusion in the Innovation Sandbox category held that the product or service had to have been launched after March 2010, and the product was required to be demonstrated live and on-site during the Innovation Sandbox event at RSA.
Entrants had to be privately held companies with less than $5 million annual revenue, and their management teams had to have proven successes in the delivery of products to market.
But the main criterion was for nominated products to have the potential to make a significant impact on information security. Watch this space.
