ALEXANDRIA, Va., and DELRAY BEACH, Fla.—ASIS International (ASIS) and the International Protective Security Board (IPSB) today announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to “promote collaboration and information-sharing between the two organizations.”

The memorandum of understanding “outlines the purpose of the agreement, which is to facilitate mutual cooperation and the exchange of knowledge and resources between ASIS and IPSB,” the announcement says.
As the premier global association for security management professionals, ASIS “provides access to intelligence, standards, and educational opportunities through its certification programs, publications, and events.”
