We also appreciate the many engagement opportunities SIA offers to members, which help us drive the culture and performance we desire.”

The company is an enthusiastic SIA member involved in a variety of SIA events, programs and initiatives. SALTO is an active participant in SIA events and education offerings, with team members regularly attending events like the SIAThere! networking series, The Advance, Securing New Ground, RISE events and the SIA Market Leaders Reception and participating in the SIAcademy LIVE! and Security Cornerstones series.

“On behalf of SALTO, I would like to thank the Security Industry Association for recognizing us as a SIA Member of the Year. SIA plays such an important role — not just in bringing awareness to our industry, but in building a community for the people that make up this industry,” said Colin DePree, sales strategy, SALTO Systems North America. “I would also like to say thank you to our SALTO team for recognizing the value of the SIA community and jumping in to share, participate and grow. I look forward to continuing our partnership with SIA!”
