Security Industry Association Names Amy Musanti as Chair of SIA Environmental, Social and Governance Advisory Board

  • Dec 03, 2025

The Security Industry Association (SIA) has named Amy Musanti of ASSA ABLOY as the new chair of SIA’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Advisory Board, an expert-led group that serves as a platform for dialogue about critical ESG issues and works to enhance ESG strategies to meet customer expectations, global ESG standards, investor interests and government requirements.

Amy Musanti is the director of sustainable building solutions for ASSA ABLOY. She joined ASSA ABLOY in 2007 and has held many positions across multiple divisions, including customer service, marketing, sales and sustainability, and supports the group’s sustainable products and processes. Musanti provides business opportunities using ASSA ABLOY solutions that contribute to energy efficiency and wellness in commercial, residential and institutional construction. She is based in New Haven, Connecticut, and holds a Bachelor of Arts in communication with a minor in information technology from Monmouth University and a Master of Science in organizational leadership from Quinnipiac University, where she serves as an adjunct faculty member in the School of Business.

“Our SIA advisory board promotes the importance of ESG education and advocacy across the security industry. This inclusive initiative offers a platform for partners and customers to implement strategies for ESG, as not only the right thing to do, but as a business enabler for their respective organizations,” said Musanti. “As the new chair of the SIA ESG Advisory Board, I look forward to welcoming new members, executing impactful events and fostering a space where ESG becomes common practice among our industry.”

SIA’s ESG Advisory Board was founded in 2023 to encourage greater information sharing among SIA members, as well as partners and customers, about established ESG practices. The group’s activities include issuing guidance on key provisions of proven and globally recognized socially responsible practices, thought leadership to security practitioners about managing ESG threats related to enterprise security, recognition of members that achieve defined ESG goals established by the advisory board, educational sessions at industry events and a SIA-promoted industry community service day. The advisory board presented at ISC West 2025 on sustainability, safety and security and released a blog post sharing key takeaways from the session. Throughout the year, the ESG Advisory Board has produced blog posts on global environmental and sustainability product-regulated regulations, key sustainability concepts and definitions and going beyond the metrics of ESG, and the group launched an ESG strategy survey to gather industry insights. In September 2025, the advisory board co-hosted the first-ever ESG Week, a six-part webinar series on key topics in environmental, sustainability, social and governance issues. Looing ahead to 2026, the advisory board has plans for impactful deliverables including informative video content, white papers, education sessions, articles and more.

“SIA is honored to welcome Amy Musanti as the new chair of the ESG Advisory Board. Amy is an impressive and accomplished industry leader on sustainability, environmental compliance and corporate responsibility,” said SIA CEO Don Erickson. “Since its inception, SIA’s ESG advisory board has elevated critical ESG issues facing not only technology providers, but the entire security ecosystem. Through Amy’s leadership, and the continued sharing of expertise by panel members, we are poised to drive our industry forward in how it manages opportunities and risks when it comes to sustainability.”

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone.

Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
