Data overload is real. Sometimes it seems we are bombarded by the sheer volume, velocity, and variety of data available in our personal lives, and in our work lives. The solution is to figure out how to make sense of the data and transform it into real information we can use. In the case of physical security systems, new opportunities are emerging every day to utilise data to make our businesses safer and better managed. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: What is the expanding role of...

Ethics can impact a company's reputation, profitability, and overall sustainability. Ethics extend beyond the law to encompass doing the "right thing" even when it is not legally mandated. As technologies such as artificial intelligence and data sharing continue to impact the physical security industry, a focus on ethics today is timelier than ever. A commitment to moral principles is critical to build a successful, sustainable, and respected industry. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: What...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is having a profound impact on businesses across various industries, including security. In physical security as in other business environments, the IoT is changing how systems operate, interact, and create value. In the process, the IoT is driving efficiency, reducing costs, and opening up new avenues for innovation and growth. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: How is the Internet of Things (IoT) transforming how security systems are deployed?

“Ask any security vendor how cybersecure their solutions are, and you’ll most likely be told ‘it’s great’, but how can we objectively measure the relative cyber-worthiness of a network device? Just ask the experts,” says Will Knehr, Senior Manager of Information Assurance and Data Privacy at i-PRO Americas, Inc. Cyber-resilient network security With the ever-increasing rise in cybercrime, i-PRO Americas Inc., a global pioneer in professional security solutio...

IEEE, the world's largest technical professional organisation dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, releases the results of ‘The Impact of Technology in 2023 and Beyond: an IEEE Global Study,’ a new survey of global technology leaders from the U.S., U.K., China, India, and Brazil. The study, which included 350 chief technology officers, chief information officers, and IT directors, covers the most important technologies in 2023 and future technology trends. Most important...

This week, the UK Government announces that organisations can now apply for up to £200,000 of funding to support research into the cyber security of office devices which connect to the internet, to ensure they are properly protected against hackers. With UK businesses relying on enterprise IoT devices to increase productivity and enable hybrid working, these smart devices collect sensitive data, which can be accessed by other users, making them an attractive target for cyber criminals to...
