What a crazy first day of ISC West 2018!!

The doors opened up right at 10 a.m. to numerous attendees looking for the most innovative security solutions the industry can offer and boy did they come to the right place!

I feel like I got to see a good portion of the show floor as I walked about 12,000 steps today from one end of the expo to the other visiting booths. The amount of excitement in the air was palpable as I made my way from booth to booth. There are so many new innovations, great partnerships and perfect integrations to talk about. Let’s get into it!
