Recently, members of the DSS leadership team attended a major security industry conference in New York City.

The International Security Conference & Exposition East (ISC East) was held at the Javits Center in Manhattan from November 18 to 20.

ISC East is the premier security and public safety event for the northeast United States. It brings together security vendors, system integrators, consultants, and law enforcement professionals.

The conference is hosted by the Security Industry Association (SIA) and the ASIS NYC Chapter. This makes it a key event for networking, education, and showcasing new technologies to improve our clients’ security.

This year’s ISC East featured the new SIA Education@ISC program and the "Startups Pavilion," where new companies could see innovative security solutions and learn from industry veterans.

We were honored to have DSS Vice President—Intelligence, Risk Advisory & Strategic Initiatives Greg Sanfilippo and DSS Senior Vice President—Operations Joe Martino take the
stage for the highly anticipated panel, "Current Trends in Contract Security." Greg and Joe shared vital insights into the operational shifts and strategic adaptations required to address today's complex security challenges, reinforcing DSS' commitment to being a proactive partner to our clients.

Our President and COO, Mario J. Doyle, joined the "Building Your Dream Team" panel in the SIA Startups Experience. As the founder and leader of a people-driven company, Mario shared expertise in recruiting, vetting, and retaining talent, which are essential to maintaining strong security operations and delivering client satisfaction.

At DSS, we think real leadership means more than great service—it means helping shape the future of our industry.

Participating in events like ISC East and working with SIA and ASIS International is central to who we are. These platforms let us share our expertise, learn from others, collaborate, and bring best practices to our clients.

Thank you to everyone who attended the sessions and connected with us. If you would like to continue the conversation or explore how DSS can support your security needs, please reach out. We welcome the opportunity to connect and collaborate with you!
