This alarming statistic is evidence that security officers are being outmatched when it comes to defending themselves at their post. An informal survey I ran on ... Read More

Take a gander at some of my favorite trends of the day: Added Business Intelligence This was a popular one at many booths, including Axis, Avigilon and Milestone. By using built-in capabilities – typically reserved for security-only uses – for different applications, these companies are engineering additional ways to add to ROI while increasing security’s reputation as a key enterprise player.
