Smarter Security Hires New Sales Executive

Smarter Security Inc. proudly welcomes a new addition to the Sales team. Bruce Kutsche joins as the company’s senior director of solution sales.

Kutsche brings valuable security experience and leadership to strategically direct Sales initiatives, delivering smarter solutions that redefine intelligent Access and Entrance Control.

“We’re thrilled to have Bruce lead our Solution sales efforts. His deep experience solving
complex security problems for large end-users will accelerate our efforts to replace the term
“Smart Buildings” with “Smarter Buildings,” said Jeff Brown, CEO of Smarter Security. “To be totally blunt, you don’t have a smart building if its entry decisions have no context. Security is really dynamic, so your entrances need to factor critical data into permission decisions, just as networks do. Bruce is the ideal choice to help usher in this smarter future of Access Control.”

Prior to joining Smarter Security, Kitsch gained valuable experience within access control and
integration, managing national and global account teams with companies such as Sensormatic,
Tyco, ADT, Stanley, and Securitas Electronic Security. His experience also extends into a wide
variety of verticals including logistics, telecommunications, entertainment, restaurant, retail and
gaming, providing a unique perspective on client challenges and the intelligent solutions
available to conquer them. Kutsche graduated from Hope College, earning a bachelor of science in Human Sciences.

    Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.
