"Welcome to this year's GIT SECURITY AWARD, we are glad that you all came", is the announcement of Steffen Ebert and Dr. Heiko Baumgartner, the hosts of the award ceremony, when they welcomed all the participants and winners to the Wiley stand during Security Essen 2018.

It's a special occasion when GIT SECURITY invite to the award ceremony at Security Essen, because all participants have been waiting for the outcome of the competition since spring of 2018. A jury nominated the finalists from a large number of submissions. Next, all readers had to vote for their favorite products. Until the announcement of the top three in Essen, the participants did not know whether they have won or what place they have come in.

For the GIT SECURITY team of the Wiley publishing house, it has become a tradition (since 2003) to award the top three participants. And the winners have done everything right: they handed in a good product, convinced the jury and encouraged readers, market participants, fans and partners to vote.

But now the placements of the "GSA 2019" in detail:

Category A: IT security and security for automation, cyber security

The winners will be announced first at SPS IPC Drives.

Category B: Fire and Explosion Protection, Industrial Safety

Apollo Fire Detectors: SOTERIA Dimension
Optical Smoke Detector

The Apollo Soteria Dimension is a unique, flush-fitting optical smoke detector designed for aesthetically demanding and high-risk environments. In contrast to traditional optical detectors, the chamberless design of Soteria Dimension uses new patented optical sensing technology to sense smoke outside the chamber, providing quick smoke detection, fewer false alarms and easy maintenance. Built-in proximity sensors also detect any physical obstruction or tampering of the detector, aiding in reduced false alarms. Approved to EN54-7, the smoke detector is also available as a specialist version which has been independently certified for anti-ligature use in high-risk locations like prisons, custody suites and healthcare establishments. The combination of its metal face plate, tamper proof screws and low profiling make it less noticeable and far more resistant to interference than some traditional detectors.

Helly Hansen: ICU HI VIS 3 Layer Shell Jacket
Self-lighting Safety Jacket

The safety jacket from the ICU collection offers visibility in the dark and protection in all weather conditions. With the integrated Light-Flex technology, people are even perceived without direct light and from a long distance: A reliable, active light source made of waterproof light strips, which are powered by a rechargeable battery, improve visibility and safety in all lighting conditions. An active light source is added to the passive reflectors and thus increase the visibility, even over long distances. This makes the wearer nearly 10 times more visible, day or night. The battery will last up to 10 hours. Once battery life is up, plug it in for an easy 90-minute recharge. Even when the battery is charging, the system maintains its reflective benefits when visibility is a priority.
