The Next Generation

By Matt Fishback

Video security technology has reached an inflection point. With advancements in cloud infrastructure and internet bandwidth, hybrid cloud solutions can now deliver new capabilities and business opportunities for security professionals and their customers.


Help Your Customer Protect Themselves

By Craig Herman

In the world of IT, insider threats are on a steep upward trajectory. The cost of these threats - including negligent and malicious employees that may steal authorized users’ credentials, rose from $8.3 million in 2018 to $16.2 million in 2023. Insider threats towards physical infrastructures often bleed into the realm of cybersecurity; for instance, consider an unauthorized user breaching a physical data center and plugging in a laptop to download and steal sensitive digital information.


Enhanced Situation Awareness

By Rui Barbosa

Did someone break into the building? Maybe it is just an employee pulling an all-nighter. Or is it an actual perpetrator? Audio analytics, available in many AI-enabled cameras, can add context to what operators see on the screen, helping them validate assumptions. If a glass-break detection alert is received moments before seeing a person on camera, the added situational awareness makes the event more actionable.


Transformative Advances

By Florian Matusek

Over the past decade, machine learning has enabled transformative advances in physical security technology. We have seen some amazing progress in using machine learning algorithms to train computers to assess and improve computational processes. Although such tools are helpful for security and operations, machines are still far from being capable of thinking or acting like humans. They do, however, offer unique opportunities for teams to enhance security and productivity.


New Uses for AI

By

New applications of AI in IP cameras are delivering precise detection, robust search capabilities, elevated data analysis and enhanced image quality. When combined with built-in analytics, AI can help streamline forensic investigations and also supports several mission-critical business functions.


The Recipe for Stadium Security

By

The threat landscape of stadium security is fluid. Today’s venues and stadiums have operational security 24/7, hosting sporting events, community events, concerts, conventions and more – each with a unique visitor base and each with unique security risks.


Multifamily Manager Methodologies

By Scott Goldfine

Property managers have their hands full, especially when it comes to establishing successful security systems on their properties. There are many pieces to the puzzle that come together for a property to protect itself properly.


Securing the Flow of Operations

By

The transportation industry is a complex and dynamic environment where efficient management of physical keys, vehicles and shared devices is critical to ensuring smooth operations, reducing costs and maintaining security. Every day, more transportation facilities are using modern electronic key and asset management systems to better secure, audit and manage the important assets that keep operations running smoothly.


Empowering Boutique Security Companies to Play Big

By Jamine Moton

Oftentimes, boutique security companies find themselves grappling with a unique set of challenges. Unlike their larger counterparts, these firms face obstacles stemming from limited resources, minimal peer-to-peer interactions and restricted access to cutting-edge technology.
