Members of the DSS leadership team participated in a recent meeting of the National Security Alliance (NSA).

The NSA held its 2024 GSX/ASIS Meeting on September 25, 2024, at the Capital Grille in Orlando, Florida, located near to the conference center at which the Global Security Exchange (GSX) conference was also being held. The NSA event featured opening remarks by DSS President and Chief Operating Officer Mario J. Doyle, who is the current NSA Chairman, and NSA Executive Director Mike Beckerich.

The event was sponsored by Phil Candy, TEAM Software, Ken Oringer and Security ProAdvisors, Abe Kuhlman and Unipro, and Russ Willmon and Defencify Training, among others.

Among the many topics addressed during the meeting were: the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in contract review, market conditions for security services providers, force management technology, and the impact of software platform outages on security operations.

The meeting also featured a discussion of the potential for civil unrest around the upcoming U.S. elections, challenges involving the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, and new technology applications to enhance operational efficiency.
