ISS (Intelligent Security Systems), a global provider of video intelligence and data awareness solutions, announced that industry veterans Dennis Connor and Jason Lloyd have joined the company as its new Director of Program Management NA and Regional Business Manager for the Midwest respectively.

Connor has an extensive background in similar initiatives throughout his time in the security industry, beginning in the early 2000s as Program Manager, Returns and Repairs Operations, at Tyco International.

“As the preeminent developer of AI-powered video analytics globally, ISS is in a tremendous position to take advantage of the third wave of video surveillance innovation the industry currently finds itself in,” said Connor.
“I have a lot of operational experience to bring to the table and ISS, in a sense, represents just a larger version of what I have gone through in the past establishing programme management initiatives at other firms.”
