Infosec Europe has arrived once again at Earl’s Court London. Armed with your Passport to Prizes and a map of the show, all the while keeping a keen eye on the #infosec14 Twitter feed, you may find yourself slightly lost in the sea of security vendors and marketing shows. So here's a guide of 10 exhibitors based less on the size of the marketing budget and more on the calibre of their solutions, to get you started and help you navigate your way through three days of infosec debauchery:
