Live From GSX: Day 2

Day One of GSX 2022 is in the books, and the conference is definitely getting back to its pre-COVID level of activity. All three of our Live From GSX sponsors—AlertEnterprise (Booth 2625), Axis Communications (Booth 3343) and Vistacom Control Room Solutions (Booth 1508)—brought their “A games,” and their booths were packed all day long. Here’s a closer look at what they’ve been working on over the past year. Remember to keep tabs on our GSX Live 2022 page and follow us on Twitter at SecurToday and CampusSecur for all the news coming out of Atlanta!

AlertEnterprise

AlertEnterprise debuted its new Asset Governance module to its Guardian security convergence platform. It connects individual identities to physical assets like keys, company technology and vehicles to help an organization protect its property. AlertEnterprise Asset Governance lets users keep tabs on compliance by delivering a complete chain of custody and auditing from a single platform. Users can streamline provisioning and identify and manage all employee and contractor assets from beginning to end. On the employee end, it also simplifies the process of replacing or reporting these items as missing.

“A totally automated way to request, approve, issue and manage physical assets by individual identity will help our customers dramatically increase the level of security, protection and inventory management,” said Yogesh Ailawadi, Senior Vice President of Products and Solutions Engineering.

AlertEnterprise is also previewing its new SafeTrust and Sentry partnerships, as well as sponsoring the CSO Lounge during the show!

Axis Communications

Axis Sales Director Ted Wilkinson demonstrated the Axis Camera Station product line, which consists of a powerful and easy-to-use video management system—along with associated hardware like servers, access control, analytics and more. Higher server power allows for up to 96 cameras per server, as well as better support for Smart Search 2. It also includes an integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to improve both physical and cybersecurity. Smart Search 2 expands the company’s analytics offerings with more powerful search capabilities. The expanded access control offerings include a next-generation A1201, a smaller, single-door controller which comes as a standalone model or a four-channel fit. Finally, the Axis Integrator Suite are tools that help the integrator do a better job of selling, designing, installing, configuring and managing the equipment at their customers’ sites.

Vistacom Control Room Solutions

Vistacom Control Room Solutions is demonstrating the Vistacom Secure View, which recently won a New Product of the Year award from Security Today. It helps small- and medium-sized organizations establish operations centers with a pre-configured and pre-engineered command center kit. SecureView offers an all-in-one command center solution that lets integrators generate a single part number that becomes a pre-fabbed video wall and operator visualization solution right out of the box with self-assembly instructions.

Vistacom is also co-hosting a rooftop party tonight (Tuesday 9/13) at Skyline Park at Ponce City Market, featuring vintage amusements, rides and games, drinks and food, mini-golf, and networking opportunities galore!

  • The Future is Happening Outside the Cloud

    For years, the cloud has captivated the physical security industry. And for good reason. Remote access, elastic scalability and simplified maintenance reshaped how we think about deploying and managing systems. But as the number of cameras grows and resolutions push from HD to 4K and beyond, the cloud’s limits are becoming unavoidable. Bandwidth bottlenecks. Latency lags. Rising storage costs. These are not abstract concerns. Read Now

  • Unlocking Trustworthy AI: Building Transparency in Security Governance

    In situations where AI supports important security tasks like leading investigations and detecting threats and anomalies, transparency is essential. When an incident occurs, investigators must trace the logic behind each automated response to confirm its validity or spot errors. Demanding interpretable AI turns opaque “black boxes” into accountable partners that enhance, rather than compromise, organizational defense. Read Now

  • Seeking Innovative Solutions

    Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. You may recognize these terms as the “5 Phases” of a grieving process, but they could easily describe the phases one goes through before adopting any new or emerging innovation or technology, especially in a highly risk-averse industry like security. However, the desire for convenience in all aspects of modern life is finally beginning to turn the tide from old school hardware as the go-to towards more user-friendly, yet still secure, door solutions.
