The Security Industry Association (SIA) and ASIS International are co-developing a webinar series to provide essential training and informational content on COVID-19 responses for security practitioners, systems integrators and employees of companies providing solutions and services within the security industry. 

Amid the worldwide pandemic, Security Dealer Marketing (SDM), has decided to offer free COVID-19-related marketing and updates to all industry dealers, integrators, manufacturers and monitoring centers nationwide.

The partnership will begin by addressing two primary areas of focus — business operations and advocacy — as well as content development and coordination.

As a part of their ongoing efforts to keep those in the industry informed in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Security Industry Association (SIA), the Electronic Security Association (ESA) and The Monitoring Association (TMA) sent a letter to members this morning, March 20. 

On March 18, U.S. President Donald Trump enacted H.R. 6201, known as “Phase 2,” which provides economic stimulus and relief to the American workforce impacted by COVID-19. 

For those working in monitoring call centers, the transition to working from home isn’t so easy. 

The Security Industry Association (SIA) welcomed a new chairman, announced its 2020 executive committee and added five new members to the SIA board of directors at The Advance, SIA’s annual membership meeting, held virtually today, March 17.

WH International Response Center (WHIRC) recently renewed the prestigious TMA Five Diamond Monitoring Center designation from The Monitoring Association (TMA) for the 17th straight year. 

The Monitoring Association (TMA) has assumed control of the Installation Quality Certification Program (IQ Certification), the only quality control program for installations, maintenance and service of electronic security systems. 

It would be hard to find a topic more pressing across the entire security industry than the current workforce shortage. From manufacturers to security integrators, the issue of finding and keeping great employees is among the top concerns of nearly everyone.
