Two weeks ago, ASIS International Seminar and Exhibits arrived in Chicago, bringing plenty of flash in its opening ceremonies, as well as plenty of possible security solutions on the show floor, as manufacturers seek to help enterprise security leaders get more from their existing investments in analog systems.
But all of the flash of the opening ceremony didn’t overshadow the message: the goal of ASIS, an 38,000-member organization, is to help security leaders and users understand their business and how best to contribute to the bottom line (Strategic); enabling them to seek knowledge, collaborate with partners and pursue additional education while being aware of and participating in the development and adoption of standards (Smart); and are you working to give the word “secure” a new and higher meaning (Secure).
