OSE offers its Members an opportunity to shape and impact the future of Physical & IT Security Convergence. Our Members represent a cross-section of Physical & Logical Security organizations from both the public & private sectors. As an OSE member, you will be able to participate in the defining solutions for Convergence with other thought leaders in the industry.
As you and your associates evaluate the Open Security Exchange Membership for your company, please note the OSE goals outlined within this document and the attached brochure, which clearly defines the value of membership. There is a very compelling business case to justify your General Membership; here are just a few:
General Members may participate on the Board of
Directors responsible for driving convergence industry initiatives,
developing, and voting on the strategic plan of the organization;
General Members can have as many individuals
participate in any of the working groups or sub-committees as they deem
valuable.
Through OSE
sponsored activities such as our Convergence Council, industry work-groups and
educational seminars the OSE is a force for thought leadership and education on
convergence topics.In addition, only
OSE Members have access to our web-based Convergence Roadmap™ tool.This interactive program helps security
practitioners and service providers alike understand the myriad issues and
potential solutions for achieving physical and IT security convergence.
Mission:
To facilitate the widespread awareness of the benefits
that are realized through the Convergence
of Physical & Logical Security.
