Every day we are reminded of what makes ASIS dynamic and successful - our members. Through the global network of over 34,600 members worldwide, members are supporting one another by sharing industry best practices, resources, and insightful advice.
Every March, we celebrate our members and show how much you mean to us with a month-long event that offers members-only exclusive product sales, content, and webinars. We even have a video contest to win an All-Access Pass to GSX 2024 in Orlando, Florida. Just tell us WHAT DOES ASIS MEAN TO YOU?
In an effort to provide a richer experience for new members and to boost membership renewals, effective 13 February, all new ASIS members will join for a full 12 months instead of a calendar year. In addition, we have streamlined the membership join experience to rave reviews!

Earning an ASIS certification demonstrates your command of core security principles, validates your expertise and establishes you as an authority in security management. The ASIS Foundation offers a broad range of scholarships and grants for those seeking professional certification and higher education—with options for consideration depending on your unique situation. Here are three opportunities for you to consider:
Certification Scholarships
More than 25 certification scholarships will be awarded. Each scholarship includes an online review course PLUS the certification exam fees for your choice of the CPP, PCI, PSP, or APP certification. In addition, scholarships are available specifically for military veterans and law enforcement professionals.
Chapter Grants for Certification Starter Kit
Up to 20 grants will be awarded to ASIS Chapters in good standing. This ASIS Foundation grant will underwrite 100% of the cost of the APP or CPP Starter Kit, or 50% of the cost for the APP or CPP Starter Kit for 5 Participants. These starter kits provide all the materials needed to lead a virtual certification study group in your chapter. Each student then purchases their own study manual to participate (or chapters may purchase manuals at a bulk discount). Only chapter leaders can apply.
Public-Private Partnership Grant in Honor of Matthew Simeone
Supported by the ASIS International Law Enforcement Liaison Community and with the ASIS Foundation, this grant recognizes public-private partnership excellence. The $4,000 unrestricted grant will be awarded to a full-service law enforcement agency to support an active P3 program. Nominations are accepted from ASIS members/chapters.

ASIS International and the Security Industry Association (SIA) have released ”Complexities in the Global Security Market: 2024 Through 2026”, a new research report that provides insights into the equipment, technologies, and employment of the global security industry, including regional market breakouts. SIA and ASIS partnered with global analytics and advisory firm Omdia to complete the research.
This exclusive report – produced for SIA and ASIS members – provides new global market statistics for the security equipment and service markets, including the entire route to market from the equipment and software companies manufacturing the technologies to the service providers deploying them through to the end users using the security and life safety solutions in their daily roles. The publication was designed for practitioners in corporate, organizational and private security roles, as well as security solutions providers and equipment manufacturers, and is also relevant for others interested in the security market, including investors, academics and government officials.
Key research findings include:
The global physical security equipment market is expected to be worth $60.1 billion in 2024, as the industry continues to recover following the COVID-19 pandemic and grow to $70 billion by 2026.
The overall physical security equipment and services market is much larger, totaling $405 billion in 2023 and projected to grow to nearly $500 billion by 2026.
The physical security market employs more than 30 million people worldwide, with 210,000 of those being in the equipment market, about 7.87 million in the services market and 22.6 million working as security end users.
The report also includes analyses of regional demand, solution requirements, economic conditions, service and equipment preferences, and political challenges, as well as the impact of technology trends like artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
