Nominations for the 2023 Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) in six categories have been extended and entries can be submitted until 18 April 2023.

The South African OSPAs are supported by Electronic Security Distributors Association (ESDA), The South African Intruder Detection Services Association (SAIDSA), SASA (Security Association of South Africa), TAPA AMERICAS & ASIS International (South African Chapter).
