From the moment the Security Industry Association (SIA) opened the submission process for this year’s SIA New Products and Solutions (NPS) Awards – formerly the SIA New Product Showcase Awards – in late 2023, entries began rolling in, and more than 71 companies submitted their products for consideration. This afternoon, they’ll learn if their hard work paid off when the winners of the 2024 SIA NPS Awards are announced.

Every product entered in this year’s showcase has been subjected to a rigorous judging process concluding yesterday. Representing a carefully selected cross section of the security industry, the 31 NPS Awards judges split into panels and spent much of the day listening to presentations and evaluating each of the entries to determine which products are most deserving of awards in each category and select the coveted Best New Product and Judges’ Choice Award winners.

Once again this year, judges may at their discretion present an Honorable Mention Award to any non-winning entry they feel is also deserving of recognition.

At 3:30 p.m. today, SIA will recognize the winners at The Bridge stage on the ISC West show floor. The presentation always draws a huge audience, so arrive early to secure your spot.

“SIA [has encouraged] companies across the security industry to take advantage of the opportunity to participate in the 2024 SIA NPS Awards — entering this leading awards program not only unlocks valuable exposure for your products among key decision makers within vertical commercial segments and government and institutional markets, but … also gets you access to direct feedback from our panel of independent, trusted expert judges,” said SIA CEO Don Erickson. “We believe this highly respected program — supported by top-quality judging — provides immense value to our members and drives transformation and advancement for the entire industry.”
