For a year, Fudsec.com has brought you the finest FUD-bashing that money can buy, and many have asked us how they can post here (email us at the address below if you'd like to).

All too often, though, we've outed fear, uncertainty and doubt without thought to giving credit to those who toil thanklessly to create it.

We're out to change that.

Announcing the FUDdies® - the industry standard recognition of innovation and creativity in the prodution of FUD. After all, coming up with new ways to wrest legitimate budget dollars from security initiatives towards illegitimate boxes is no easy task. Join Fudsec.com as we honor those in the business of making this magic happen.

Face it, folks: there's tons of FUD out there, and even here on Fudsec there are few people being specifically called out for FUD. So let's bring it. Tell us who's doing it. Tell the community about it. 

We need your help to get these going. Email us your thoughts, your nominations, or anything else you think we should think about. Right now, there are two categories of FUDdie: FUDiest Campaign, and Most Unctuous Information Security Marketing Executive.

Voting is held by secret ballot at fudsec ( at ) gmail com  , and all results are reviewed by a top secret, anonymous committee whose decisions shall be final.

Prizes are coveted, genuine Reynolds-built aluminum foil caps, which look great and shield your brain from electromagnetic mind control carrier waves and beacons. The prizes will be announced at RSA 2011, which means we need help now.

Vote early! Vote with your heart!
