Securis is running tomorrow's Loudoun County Electronics Recycling Day — and it's a snapshot of what municipal-scale ITAD looks like done right. 📍 Leesburg Park & Ride | Saturday, May 16 | 9 AM – 3 PM What goes into a single community event: • Secure intake and chain of custody from the moment a device leaves a resident's hands • R2v3 responsible recycling and refurbishment downstream • On-site NAID AAA-certified data destruction upon request • Logistics, staffing, and signage to keep wait times short and the experience easy Municipalities trust us with this because the stakes are real. A resident's old laptop can carry tax returns, medical records, and saved passwords. A botched e-waste day exposes a county to liability and reputational risk. A well-run one builds civic goodwill. We're actively working with cities, counties, and regional governments looking to stand up similar programs. If that's on your roadmap, send us a message. #ITAD #DataSecurity #ElectronicsRecycling #LoudounCounty #NorthernVirginia

That's a wrap on IAITAM ACE 2026! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Securis booth to talk ITAM, secure IT asset disposition, and the cost + risk side of AI infrastructure. The conversations this week were energizing — and a reminder of how much is shifting in this space. If you scanned your badge or left a card with us, you're entered into our giveaway. We'll be in touch with the winner soon. 🎁 #IAITAM #ITAM #IAITAMACE

Meet Tim Anastasi, our CFO — and tomorrow's featured speaker at IAITAM. Tim is a finance leader with a passion for growth and connecting the dots for people, teams, and companies. He has spent his career building businesses and serving clients with curiosity, structure, and substance. Tomorrow he's bringing that same lens to one of the most expensive questions in enterprise IT: how should organizations buy compute in the age of AI? His talk — the ITAM GPU Playbook: Controlling Cost, Risk and Power in Accelerated Computing — makes the case for refurbished and certified GPUs as a legitimate enterprise procurement category. Six sections, from the $1.5T AI infrastructure boom to the 2030 compute stack, with real numbers on cost per inference, breakeven utilization, and the trust infrastructure that unlocks the market. If you're rethinking AI infrastructure spend, this one is for you. 👇 #ITAM #IAITAMACE #GPU #AIInfrastructure

The new flagship GPUs are closed off to most enterprise buyers. Allocated to hyperscalers. End-of-sale. Or simply not for sale at the volumes you'd actually need. Meanwhile, 80 to 90 percent of enterprise AI is inference, and inference doesn't need frontier silicon. The hardware to run it well already exists. It's just sitting one or two generations back, available now, at a fraction of the cost, and largely ignored by enterprise procurement teams who haven't updated their assumptions since before AI hardware existed. That gap is the entire conversation Tim Anastasi, our CFO, is speaking on at IAITAM 2026 ACE next Tuesday. Today's shortage is tomorrow's surplus, and the secondary market is about to become a structural part of the enterprise compute stack, not a fallback. The economics are more compelling than most people realize. The timing matters more than most people think. If you're at ACE, the session is worth the seat.

The market isn't shrinking, it's relocating. 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬: 𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐃 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Jimmy All, Securis The memory market is falling again. It may not stay there long. After a strong run, pricing has pulled back toward late Q3 levels. 𝐖𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠: • RAM down roughly 30 to 40 percent from recent highs • Desktop pricing correcting after an artificial lift • Buyers shifting from aggressive accumulation to a measured posture On its own, this looks like a standard reset. But there's a new variable entering the market. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠: Samsung workers have voted to authorize a potential strike. If it lands: • Production gets disrupted • Supply tightens quickly • Pricing reverses The impact spreads across: • RAM • SSDs • Laptops, desktops, and servers Anything tied to memory demand. At the same time, global dynamics are shifting: • Middle East shipping routes are effectively closed • Shipping costs and transit times remain elevated • Buyers are repositioning into new regions We're seeing increased activity in: • Africa • Central and South America The market isn't shrinking. It's relocating. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮: • Pricing is currently favorable compared to recent highs • Supply-side risk could change that quickly • Timing decisions are getting more complex 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬: We're adapting to where the market is moving: • Expanding buyer networks in emerging regions • Strengthening domestic and nearshore demand channels • Maintaining flexibility as global conditions shift We don't rely on one market. We move with them. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞: This is a window, but it's not a stable one. If you have equipment coming out of service, now is the time to evaluate timing before the market shifts again. securis.com

Tim Anastasi, our CFO, is speaking at ACE IAITAM in about two weeks on something we don't see enough finance leaders talking about: how to actually control cost, risk, and power consumption in GPU-heavy environments. The session is called "ITAM GPU Playbook: Controlling Cost, Risk and Power in Accelerated Computing." Most of the GPU conversation right now is about performance and availability. Can you get the hardware, can you get it deployed, can you get it running. Tim's coming at it from the other side of the lifecycle, which is where the real exposure shows up — power draw, refresh cycles, what you do with the equipment when it comes out of the rack, whether any of that value is recoverable or just written off. If you're going to be at ACE, worth catching.

Most organizations retiring IT equipment are sitting on more value than they realize. Not because anything is being mismanaged, but because the typical ITAD process was built around removal and destruction. Capturing what the equipment is still worth was never part of the equation. IT and finance leaders are recognizing that a refresh cycle is not just an expense to absorb. It is an opportunity to recover value from assets that still have life in them, and apply that toward what comes next. The question is not whether retired equipment holds value. For most organizations running regular refresh cycles, it does. The question is whether the process is built to capture it securely. Securis delivers Proven Secure Value Recovery as part of a fully documented ITAD process. Security comes first, and value recovery happens within a controlled, verified framework backed by: • 20+ years of remarketing experience • 120,000+ items sold • 99.3% positive feedback rating Retired IT assets are not the end of the budget conversation. For organizations that approach disposition strategically, they are part of how the next cycle gets funded. Request a customized ITAD plan at securis.com

The IT asset market isn’t slowing down because of demand. It’s slowing down because it can’t move. All Access: ITAD Market Intelligence Securis ITAD Market Expert, Jimmy All The biggest shift right now isn’t pricing. It’s logistics. Global shipping conditions are putting real pressure on the secondary IT market: * Key routes through the Red Sea and surrounding straits are heavily restricted * Air freight is being prioritized for military and humanitarian needs * Sea routes are being rerouted, adding significant time to delivery cycles What used to be routine movement is now unpredictable. We’re seeing the impact directly: * Shipping costs for laptops have increased dramatically * Transit times are extending by weeks * Insurance costs are rising due to war risk surcharges * Containers are tied up longer, creating artificial shortages The result: Many international buyers are stepping back and waiting. ⸻ What this means for you: * Global demand is becoming less accessible * Movement is slower and less predictable * Timing and channel strategy matter more than ever This isn’t a pricing issue. It’s an access issue. ⸻ Where the market is shifting: * RAM has corrected from recent highs and is stabilizing * Buyer activity is becoming more selective * Logistics constraints are now influencing purchasing decisions ⸻ How Securis responds: We’ve built our model to reduce reliance on global uncertainty: * U.S.-based buyer network * Scalable e-commerce engine to maintain demand * Proven ability to move assets domestically when global slows While others wait for conditions to improve, we continue to execute. ⸻ Takeaway: The market hasn’t disappeared. But how you access it has changed. ⸻ If you have equipment coming out of service, now is the time to evaluate your strategy before logistics constraints impact your results: https://lnkd.in/ep2KrK5Q

Not all IT asset disposition processes are built for AI infrastructure. AI servers demand a higher standard: • Verified data destruction • Accurate asset tracking • Responsible downstream recycling • Full documentation for audit readiness Anything less creates risk. If your current process treats AI hardware like standard IT, it’s time to reevaluate. We outline what a secure, accurate, and sustainable approach looks like.

Earth Day isn’t a campaign for us. It’s how we operate. Every asset we process is handled with purpose: • No landfill • Full chain of custody • Verified data destruction • Maximum value recovery Sustainability only matters if it’s measurable and accountable. If your retired IT isn’t being handled this way, it’s time to rethink your process. Get a customized ITAD plan: https://lnkd.in/ep2KrK5Q
