Schreiber’s Panel Session with Industry Leaders at SIA’s Perimeter Protect Event in Washington

Our Founder, Mark Schreiber, had a wonderful day representing us this past Wednesday, June 18th, 2025, in Washington, D.C., while attending the prestigious Perimeter Prevent event hosted by the Security Industry Association (SIA) at the National Housing Center. This event gathered top experts and leaders in the security field to discuss the latest innovations and strategies for protecting critical infrastructure and high-security perimeters. 
 
Schreiber also had the honor of participating in a dynamic panel session titled “CPTED and Best Practices for High-Security Perimeters,” which took place from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. The conversation was enriched by the insights of his fellow panelists: Christa Decker, Vice President of Whitman, Requardt & Associates, and Douglas Dreher, Director of Data Center Development at Gibraltar Perimeter Security. 

During the session, the panelists explored how Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles can be effectively integrated into modern perimeter security solutions. They discussed practical strategies for balancing technological advancements with thoughtful environmental design to deter threats before they emerge.  

The event also provided an excellent opportunity for networking and exchanging ideas with other security professionals, policymakers, and industry innovators.  

Thank you to the SIA for an inspiring day and experience. Additionally, thank you also to everyone who attended Schreiber’s session!

Schreiber Joins SIA’s Voice of the Industry (VOI) Committee to Assist Security Practitioners Advancing Real Conversations (SPARC)

Safeguards Consulting is proud to share that our Founder, Mark Schreiber, is furthering his involvement in the Security Industry Association (SIA) even more!  

Recently, Schreiber joined an esteemed group of experts to form one of SIA’s newest committees, the Voice Of the Industry (VOI) committee. This committee falls under SPARC’s umbrella of 3 bodies, which are membership, VOI, and support services. The VOI committee focuses on engaging with manufacturers, integrators, and specifiers to discuss industry needs, concerns, and expectations.  

One of the ways the new committee is seeking to grow and improve the industry is by assisting the Security Practitioners Advancing Real Conversations (SPARC) committee, which is also known as the SIA Technical End User Forum, with white papers to support large end users in and outside of SPARC.  

SPARC is a new community of security professionals brought together to support end-user technical practitioners with a large network of technical professionals. These professionals all seek to deliver impact in the security technology industry while also engaging and encouraging compliance with technology and industry standards. In addition, SPARC’s members are provided with state-of-the-art security technology research, training, and networking opportunities, among other things!
