Honeywell – How disruptive technologies make security systems better   The shift from standalone systems to fully integrated solutions is one of the biggest shifts the security industry has experienced in recent years. There is a higher demand for integrated solutions that go beyond just security at the device and software level, and manufacturers have been continuously developing improved application programming interfaces (APIs), and hybrid and cloud-connected solutions. Also, artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important role in modern intrusion systems by helping enable automated threat detection, real-time response, and predictive analysis.

Proactive security: The future of perimeter defense   “The days of being reactive are over. That’s right, we as an industry, can no longer afford to be reactive.” “As threats evolve, the need for proactive security is critical. While traditional methods, including physical barriers and security personnel, are still necessary, the future of our approach is built on the backs of emerging technologies.” This, according to Evolon CEO, Tom Galvin.

In an emergency, information is pivotal. More information provides better understanding of an emergency and empowers potentially life-saving decision-making. Emergency response teams depend on information to guide their efforts and to deliver targeted assistance. On the front lines of emergency response are 911 and field responder agencies, which must direct reaction to life-or-death situations rapidly and efficiently.  Historically, 911 operators had to respond based on very little information, perhaps just a voice on the phone or a location on their screen. Today, there are literally millions of information sources available, ranging from connected buildings to vehicle telematics to live video streams to health information from wearable devices. This feature article from SecurityInformed.com/SourceSecurity.com Editor Larry Anderson looks at how these information sources can be leveraged to improve emergency response time, and features commentary from RapidSOS CEO Michael Martin. https://lnkd.in/ek2hY5mi   #physicalsecurityindustry #emergencyresponders #fireandsecurity #digitaltransformation

Among its many benefits, access control improves security, increases efficiency, reduces liability and can accommodate various budget parameters. Designing an access control system can be a daunting task, especially if the system required is substantially larger than what is already in place. But if you approach it methodically, you can reduce error and ensure that you get the exact system needed for your facility. Phase 1 of this guide by ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions provides a series of questions and considerations to use as you evaluate your facility.
