By Geoff Kohl, Senior Director of Marketing, Security Industry Association on July 6, 2018 |

Monthly program offers members an opportunity to address cyber questions with the help of cybersecurity researcher and ethical hacker Rodney Thayer.

SIA members continue to dedicate significant time and resources to enhance their cyber readiness. To support member company cyber strategies, SIA is offering its members the opportunity to have key questions asked and answered through a new SIA Cyber Office Hours program.

Beginning on July 19, 2018, and continuing monthly, SIA members will have the opportunity to receive general feedback on cyber and physical security issues through online, one-hour sessions with SIA member and security consultant Rodney Thayer from Smithee Solutions. Thayer is an accomplished cybersecurity researcher and ethical hacker with a strong physical security background.

Watch the inaugural Cyber Office Hours webcast here.

Participating in the SIA Cyber Office Hours program is entirely free for SIA members and accessible to SIA members only. (Not sure if your company is a member? Check the SIA membership directory.)

Please note: SIA members like yourself dictate the agenda for these Cyber Office Hours sessions. These sessions are designed to respond to your questions and informational needs. SIA members are encouraged to submit questions using SIA360, the members-only discussion forum.

SIA will develop a repository of common questions and answers provided though these sessions, as well as record sessions and make them available in our archived webinars for members only.

Questions about the program may be addressed to Joe Gittens, SIA Director of Standards, at 301-804-4709 or jgittens@securityindustry.org.
