??Len Swantek, Director of Global Regulatory Compliance at Victaulic, takes a closer look at the CE mark and the regulatory process that mandates this mark be in place in accordance with specific Regulations and Directives.

We all see them every day on product labels and packaging; the CE safety mark is prominently displayed on thousands of items from consumer electronics and children’s toys to fire extinguishers, power tools and work gloves, (just to name a few). But what does this mark mean and why is it displayed on so many different products?

The advent of cloud technology has facilitated faster, easier physical security deployments, according to Firas Jadalla, Regional Director META at Genetec.

Recent research conducted by Genetec shows that 44 per cent of end users reported that more than 25 per cent of their physical security setups are now either in the cloud or use a combination of cloud and on-premises solutions. Organisations of all sizes have come to expect a hosted option as an alternative or addition to their on-prem physical security infrastructure. For systems integrators, this signals a new era of opportunity and adaptation. ??
