ISC West is so huge that I often forget that there is more to it than an Expo Hall in the middle of the Las Vegas strip.

Each year, ISC West in partnership with SIA, puts together a string of educational sessions to help attendees further their knowledge on certain topics. This year, the focus seems to be on cybersecurity of physical solutions, Safe Cities, drones and robotics.

Here's the top three sessions the Security Today team hope to be sitting in on:

Keynote 2: 1 October

Speaker Deputy Chief Christopher Jones of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department will be presenting a brief overview of the incident at a concert festival in Las Vegas.

The incident, which happened on October 1, 2017, occurred with a gunman fired down into a crowd of concert goers from a window at the Mandalay Bay hotel leaving 58 people dead and 851 injured. The incident is the deadliest mass shooting committed by an individual in the United States.

Time: April 11, 2018 12:15 – 1:00 PM
Location: Venetian Ballroom

Envisioning Smart/Safe Cities' Future: 2020 and Beyond

The conventional wisdom is that physical and cyber security are converging, while the diversity of sensors continues to expand. What infrastructure will lead? How will we protect the "Massive IoT" now present in smart cities and intelligent buildings? And what will be tomorrow's cyber-attack vectors?

This peer into the future, presented in a multimedia rich "top ten" format will consider the effect of emerging technologies and trends, such as the Internet of Things, virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, data analytics and intelligent buildings. What solutions will claim 5G's dominance? How will infrastructure's evolution offload the burden of IT staff into the simplified yet vulnerable cloud?

Time: April 11, 2018 3:45 – 4:45 PM
Location: Sands 302, Level 1

Real Time Training in the IoT Age of Customer Experience

In the age of the Internet of Things, discover trends and best practices on how the customer experience movement is changing the way enablement, training and education is accomplished in the security industry. Our panel of industry leaders and time-trusted advisors will provide attendees insights and advice in moving initiatives forward.

Learn to describe the trends in training, compile a list of best practices in learning and map out a customized plan for training an employee enablement during this session.

Time: April 12, 2018 2:30 – 3:30 PM
Location: Sands 307

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
