SSI Industry Hall of Fame Inductees

The SSI Industry Hall of Fame was founded in 2004 to represent the highest accolade for going above and beyond in professionalism, conduct and achievement in the security industry.

Established by Security Sales & Integration in 2004 to represent the ultimate recognition for performance excellence, the SSI Industry Hall of Fame annually enshrines those uncommon people who have etched out an indelible impression within the profession, sustained over the course of an entire career. These rare persons’ dedication and accomplishments make them uniquely irreplaceable. They are the business and technology innovators and humanitarians whose impact has molded and transformed the industry into the thriving, vibrant business it is today.
