The Security Industry Association (SIA) has created a Retail Security Advisory Board and is calling for SIA member volunteers to join the expert-led group. The board, to be led by Chair Mike Dunn of Wachter and Vice Chair Brit Hehn of Gap, will tackle initiatives including:
- Developing retail security resources and best practices;
- Fostering collaboration between suppliers and retail security practitioners;
- Providing end-user thought leadership feedback on emerging technologies and related education and use cases;
- Supporting interoperability and the development of open security standards;
- Developing webinars, white papers, fact sheets and conference content; and
- Partnering with key retail and security stakeholders.
“This new advisory board provides a vital platform to unite retailers, integrators and technology providers around common goals,” said Dunn in a statement. “By fostering collaboration across the retail and security industries, we can advance best practices, explore emerging technologies and build partnerships with leading retail organizations that will help us create lasting impact for retailers everywhere.”
