Security Industry Association Strengthens Identity Expertise Through Addition of IdTA Members
The Security Industry Association (SIA) and the Identification Technology Association (IdTA) announced today that IdTA members will become members of SIA and guide a new SIA Identity and Biometric Technology Advisory Board. IdTA will dissolve its operations and work with SIA’s leadership to recruit additional biometric and identity solution businesses as SIA members. Effective January 1, 2021, CLEAR, Leido and SAIC will become SIA members while other current IdTA members IDEMIA and NEC will continue their active membership within SIA.
“SIA is proud to welcome members of the IdTA into the SIA community,” said Don Erickson, CEO of SIA. “Business leaders’ confidence in SIA reflects our vision to serve as a strong platform for companies to elevate the value of innovative identification technologies before government officials, media, and channel partners. SIA has a successful record of providing education and advocacy to the identification sector over many years. However, through the involvement of these notable global businesses on the Identity and Biometric Technology Advisory Board, we are excited to increase SIA’s value proposition for participating companies.”
