Whether they feel like they’re being protected - or watched. For students, safety isn’t just about physical security. It’s...

That’s not a failure of intent. It’s a consequence of how security was built in the healthcare sector. Over decades, physical security and cybersecurity have developed distinct disciplines with separate ownership. Facilit...

That’s changing. Rhombus is excited to announce their strategic partnership with Honeywell, bringing Rhombus’ cloud-managed video security platform together...
