The Perimeter Security Subcommittee guides the Security Industry Association’s (SIA’s) support for nationwide and international efforts to prevent hostile vehicle attacks. From crowded public spaces or critical infrastructure sites to government facilities, the subcommittee works to identify best practices, assess current threats and solutions and provide stakeholders with the latest on safety and security standards from governments and industry.

The Cloud, Mobility and IoT Subcommittee explores the impact of the cloud and mobility on physical security and focuses on developing cloud and mobility standards for the industry. Candidate areas for standardization include a cloud security reference model and a common cloud session establishment framework for physical security products.
