+ OpenBSD was chosen as a winner in the 2003 Information Security Leadership
+ Awards, organized by the <A href="http://www.sans.org/">SANS institute</a>.
+ OpenBSD was chosen as the winner of the award for effective security
+ testing of an operating system. To quote part of the award,
+ "In the 2003 competition among military academies and grad schools, in which
+ they competed to provide the best defense against cyber attacks launched
+ by National Security Agency specialists, the judges acknowledged that in
+ the final analysis, use of OpenBSD was a determining factor in the winner's
+ ability to fight off attacks." The awards were presented by Richard Clarke
+ in Washington DC. Other awards included patch distribution mechanisms
+ and denial of service attack mitigation techniques.
