Innovative and Collaborative Security Projects Wanted – SecurityInfoWatch

Learn more about the Security Vanguard Awards and submit an entry at http://www.securityinfowatch.com/vanguard

SecurityInfoWatch Media which includes Security Business, as well as print magazines Security Technology Executive (STE) and Locksmith Ledger, and our flagship website SecurityInfoWatch.com introduced a new program last year designed to give the entire security ecosystem the recognition it deserves: The Security Vanguard Awards.

To say the first year was a success was an understatement. The 100% cost-free program attracted a huge amount of interest from integrators and vendors alike - all intent on telling us more about their most successful and collaborative security projects.

For the inaugural awards, Stone Security's project at ARUP Laboratories earned top honors, a spot on the cover of our November issue (read it at http://www.securityinfowatch.com/21158680), and the huge industry-wide recognition that the project and the team involved deserved.Will your firm be next?

Regardless of where it stands within the security ecosystem (vendor, integrator, consultant, engineering firm, or end-user), if your company has an innovative story to tell about a recent project, you stand a great chance of being recognized on a national scale.

As it was for the ARUP Laboratories project, the top selection will appear on the cover of each respective magazine (or on the front page, in the case of SecurityInfoWatch.com). The major stakeholders for the top project will also be invited to a panel at the Security Industry Association's Securing New Ground event.

We are looking for enterprise-level collaborative security projects that exemplify the best working partnerships among security solutions providers, security systems integrators and the end-user clients they serve. For integrators in particular, we would love to see projects that changed the trajectory of your entire business, broke you into a new vertical market or otherwise impacted the business.

Participation in this program which has been endorsed by SIA is 100% cost-free. Additionally, the submission process is easy, and we PLEDGE that it will take five minutes or less. Simply tell us (via web-based form) the name and location of the project, all the stakeholders involved (vendors, integrators, consultants, etc.), and a paragraph or two as to why this particular project is innovative or special, and/or the impact it had on your business. It is important to be 100% sure that each stakeholder will want to go public with the projects details.

Helped by a few industry experts, our editorial team will take it from there. If the project is chosen as a Vanguard Award winner, we will follow up with interviews and to set up photo shoots. Again, be sure all stakeholders in the project are willing to be publicized.

Submissions are open right now at http://www.securityinfowatch.com/vanguard and will remain open until August 9, 2021. Visit that page for the submission form, additional details, and links to the winning entries from last year.

Feel free to email me or any of our editorial team with questionsit will be terrific to see innovation and collaboration on such a grand scale.
