Amazon and YourSix will each receive a 2026 SIA Member of the Year Award. The Security Industry Association (SIA) will present the honorees with their awards at The Advance, SIA’s annual membership meeting, which will be held March 24 during ISC West.

The SIA Member of the Year Award honors SIA member companies that have shown notable involvement in SIA committees and working groups, SIA events and the SIA Education at ISC conference program; leadership activity; recruitment of SIA members; and contributions to SIA thought leadership and the industry overall.

Amazon has been a highly engaged corporate member of SIA since joining the association in 2023, actively participating in a variety of SIA programs, events, courses, offerings and services. Amazon team members have frequently attended SIA events — including AcceleRISE, Perimeter PREVENT, Protecting Utilities, Securing New Ground, SIA GovSummit, the SIA Market Leaders Reception, SIA National Capital Region Security Forum (NCRSF) networking events and the Vertical Insights webinars — and the company has sponsored events and programs including AcceleRISE and Security Hill Day.

Amazon’s corporate security team is a part of the Security Practitioners Advancing Real Conversations (SPARC) community, and the company’s employees have participated in SIA training and certifications like the Security Project Management (SPM) and Certified Security Project Manager (CSPM) courses, SIA OSDP Boot Camp and the Data Privacy Pro Certificate.

Amazon staff have been involved in content creation and speaking at Perimeter PREVENT and have participated in SIA committees and communities, including the SIA Women in Security Forum, SIA RISE, the Government Relations Committee, the Identity and Biometric Technology Advisory Board, the Data Privacy Advisory Board, the Video and Vision Subcommittee, the Lower 900 MHz Working Group, the Endowment Committee, the SIA New Products and Solutions Awards and the Talent Inclusion Mentorship Education (TIME) program. Amazon team members have also actively made use of SIA resources and publications.

“We’re grateful to SIA for this recognition and proud of our partnership with the security industry,” said Erica McCann, senior manager of public policy, Amazon. “SIA plays a critical role in shaping thoughtful frameworks that advance safety and security solutions, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.”

YourSix has been an active member of SIA since joining the association in 2022. The company’s engagement includes participating in SIA events — including the SIA Executive Reception at ISC West, RISE to Service, Securing New Ground, the SIA Market Leaders Reception, SIA Honors Night, SIAThere! networking event and The Advance — and two of its young professionals were recognized in the SIA 25 on the RISE Awards in 2025. YourSix employees have been actively involved in SIA committees and communities, including the SIA Women in Security Forum, RISE, Veterans in Security and Startups in Security. Jacob Hengel of YourSix is vice chair of the SIA Video and Vision Subcommittee and helped to author a forthcoming report on behalf of the committee with his team, and YourSix’s CEO Eric Styles has been a supporter of SIA Veterans in Security and was profiled in the community’s newsletter.

“Being named a SIA Member of the Year is a tremendous honor for YourSix, especially given the diverse and accomplished membership,” Styles said. “SIA plays a defining role in shaping the future of physical security, and this recognition reinforces the importance of active participation in advancing innovation, standards and best practices. We look forward to continuing our work alongside SIA and its members to strengthen the industry as a whole.”

Don Erickson, CEO, SIA, said, “SIA congratulates Amazon and YourSix for being named the 2026 Members of the Year. These two companies have exhibited outstanding involvement in SIA and the industry as a whole, contributing to our communities, committees and advisory boards, supporting and actively participating in SIA events and engaging in discussion on the most important issues in security, with clear intent to benefit the industry as a whole rather than just their companies. We applaud them for their inspiring leadership, innovation and impact and look forward to honoring them at ISC West and continuing to work with them to build on SIA’s member offerings and value and further advance our industry.”
