Information Technology
Historically, physical security systems and information technology systems dwelt in different silos. Chief security officers and chief information officers ran their respective domains without input from the other. But rapid adoption of IP-based security devices spurred the convergence of physical and information security, bringing the two spheres together. SIA is dedicated to managing disciplines within this convergence.
Computer Vision Changes Everything
Security can now be smart, proactive and preventative For decades, security has been built around static cameras, door and motion sensors, and access control systems that rely on predefined triggers. These systems, though, do not understand context. They just detect movement, record activity, and sound alarms, flooding security teams with false positives and forcing human…
