Vice President Supply Chain Solutions
"SVSG means to me more than just a mere social group. This organization has truly inspired, motivated, and developed me into a better professional than I was last year. So much so that I changed jobs and I'm currently with a new employer! ... I would have never considered such a move if it hadn't been for the members of SVSG inspiring me to think differently and grow."
Corporate Security Manager
"I'm grateful there's a forward-thinking organization focused on community and connection. ... It's really a model for how I want to show up as a professional. SVSG is fostering a culture within security where leaders share their wisdom and people who are newer, like me, are encouraged to contribute their skills, too."

Tyler Adams
SVSG is an amazing community of security professional who care about the industry and each other. Being an active part of this community has allowed me to share my security best practices content and knowledge in a way that allows me to get feedback and improve upon my skills and knowledge. I have learn so much from SVSG and in the process have made some lifelong friends I most likely will be working with in the future. I look forward to bearing witness to seeing SVSG grow and become a true influencer within the security industry.
Security Director Tech Company
SVSG has provided a diverse community of physical security professionals. My favorite part is the dynamic topics the group covers, from tech to mental health within our community. I found new professional relationships that, over time, have turned into wonderful personal friendships that I cherish — a great group of movers and shakers.
Security Technologist
SVSG is one of the friendliest and most welcoming professional groups I have been with. Everyone is willing to connect and chat, egos left at the door.
Physical Security Manager
I met professionals from every level of security whether they were just starting out after a decorated career in law enforcement and looking for advice on how to get started in in the middle of a storied 30 year career and serving in global leadership roles at some of the most recognizable companies in the world.
VP Security Services
The community and networking at SVSG is unparalleled. From program benchmarking, to helping job seekers, to propping up innovative startups, SVSG has been a phenomenal experience. The sense of community SVSG has created in a short time is fantastic!
