The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a notice explicitly mentioning the security industry. 

Now that we know this economic disruption isn’t going away soon, how will the industry be affected?

The U.S. Senate has passed a $2 trillion stimulus bill that will provide direct payments to most Americans, provide tax breaks and loans to corporations and provide additional funds to combat COVID-19.

The Security Industry Association (SIA) and ASIS International are co-developing a webinar series to provide essential training and informational content on COVID-19 responses for security practitioners, systems integrators and employees of companies providing solutions and services within the security industry. 

Amid the worldwide pandemic, Security Dealer Marketing (SDM), has decided to offer free COVID-19-related marketing and updates to all industry dealers, integrators, manufacturers and monitoring centers nationwide.

The partnership will begin by addressing two primary areas of focus — business operations and advocacy — as well as content development and coordination.

As a part of their ongoing efforts to keep those in the industry informed in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Security Industry Association (SIA), the Electronic Security Association (ESA) and The Monitoring Association (TMA) sent a letter to members this morning, March 20. 

On March 18, U.S. President Donald Trump enacted H.R. 6201, known as “Phase 2,” which provides economic stimulus and relief to the American workforce impacted by COVID-19. 

For those working in monitoring call centers, the transition to working from home isn’t so easy. 

The Security Industry Association (SIA) welcomed a new chairman, announced its 2020 executive committee and added five new members to the SIA board of directors at The Advance, SIA’s annual membership meeting, held virtually today, March 17.
