Government Growth

Ron Martin, physical security specialist at Department of Health and Human Services, Security Product Editor-In-Chief Ralph C. Jensen and Stanley President Tony Byerly.

A couple weeks ago, Stanley Convergent Security Systems hosted a rooftop party in Washington, D.C. When I received my invitation, I knew I had to go.

Stanley President Tony Bylerly, is a good friend and a good host. His security group is growing, and now expanding into the well-defined government security space. Stanley CSS opened a new office in fine fashion.

“Not only is the government security space growing, but we want to grow with it,” Byerly said. “There is a lot of work in the government sector and Stanley is well positioned to provide keen insight and services.”

While it wasn’t a huge party, there were many government insiders in attendance. I chatted with several, who have been impressed with Stanley’s footprint of serving the government sector. The party was held on the rooftop of The Southern building, just a few blocks away from the White House.

“The expansion of the Stanley CSS Government Program to include a new office in The Beltway brings our program even closer to the government and high security customers,” Byerly said. “Our success in the government program comes from a balance of technology, compliance and operational excellence.”

Dan Myslewski, vice president of the government program at Stanley, will run the Washington office. He fully understands the importance of compliance, as well as the critical and sensitive nature of how customers must interface with government.

The Stanley government program is off and running, joining the company’s more than 75 other local offices.

  • 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.
