IAPSC-SIA partnership efforts will include presentations and education sessions at the IAPSC Annual Meeting and industry events including ISC West, ISC East, the SIA Vertical Insights symposium series and the SIA GovSummit conference; media engagement to grow both associations’ positions as thought leaders in the security industry; creating informative, educational articles for the SIA Technology Insights journal, the SIA Center of Excellence and the IAPSC Newsletter; participation in initiatives and activities with the SIA Standards Committee; development of IAPSC-SIA features and interviews about industry trends; and additional efforts to support SIA and IAPSC’s goals to grow awareness of security consultancy as an essential, rewarding profession and of SIA’s value to the security business and practitioner communities.
