SIA Technology Insights – Spring 2014

One of our goals for SIA Technology Insights is to provide a look ahead, to give people an idea of what they can expect from security technology in coming years. This edition contains some great examples of that.
- What does Facebook have to do with physical security? Steve Van Till of Brivo Systems tells us in a forward-looking article about social media and security converging in “social spaces.”
- Will we ever be able to enter secure areas without first stopping and presenting credentials? Henry Hoyne of Northland Controls describes some possible routes to a “frictionless” future for access control.
- How can technology be used to enhance security in urban environments? Itai Elata of Verint Systems examines the “safe city” model and its potential for making municipalities more secure.
