Tip of the spear, tip of the cap

If James Brown was considered the hardest working man in show business, John Nemerofsky may be the security industry’s equivalent to the “Godfather of Soul.”
To list John’s accomplishments in his more than 25 years in the security industry would take several paragraphs. Instead, let’s focus on John Nemerofsky, the man – one of the hardest-working individuals I have come across in my nearly four years working for Security Systems News.
I’ll start with...

January 24, 2024Cory Harris, Editor
Yes, I am channeling the legendary Ramones for my first blog of 20, 20, 24 - wait, let me correct that - 2024.
See where my mind is this week? I’m far from being sedated; as a matter of fact, I’m pretty pumped about what’s ahead for Security Systems News readers in the coming days, weeks, and months ahead.
But before I get into 2024, I have to look back at the end of 2023, and the tremendous webcast we hosted in December, titled “State of the Industry - A Look Ahead...

A PSA about PSA TEC
May 3, 2023Cory Harris, Editor
I admit that I had trouble coming up with a title for this week’s blog. But a comedian’s schtick that wrapped up the second day of PSA TEC 2023 just a couple of hours ago triggered a light bulb in my head. But more on that later.
It’s been a very busy couple of days here in Dallas as I experience my second PSA TEC conference. More than 400 integrators and PSA technology partners have assembled at the Hyatt Regency in “Big D” for PSA’s annual education and networking...

On the Road Again
May 25, 2022Cory Harris, Editor
Thank you, Willie Nelson, for a song title that is so appropriate given the whirlwind couple of weeks I’ve had, literally, on the road again.
No, I did not have the Partridge Family psychedelic tour bus to take me to my destinations, as my family van and JetBlue were my means of transportation in representing Security Systems News at two industry events – one that supports a very important mission, and the other a conference that yours truly attended for the first time, and even got...
Bill Bozeman Awards Announced!
May 18, 2022Paul Ragusa
As I write these words, Security Systems News Managing Editor Cory Harris (pictured above at the podium) is in one of my favorite cities, Denver, Colo., for PSA TEC, the conference devoted to the systems integrator community. To say that I have some serious FOMO going on seeing all of Cory’s, and other industry peers’ posts on social would be an understatement! But I am very excited Cory gets to experience his first TEC, a rite of passage for any SSN editor, for sure!
And what a great...
