Safeguarding critical infrastructure and sustainable energy ?
Brian Harrell , Vice President and Chief Security Officer of Avangrid , speaks to SJA about how to fortify security in the sustainable energy sector.
Currently, I’m the Vice President and Chief Security Officer at AVANGRID, a sustainable energy company.
I lead our cybersecurity, physical security, privacy, intelligence and resilience programs – most risks to the company are considered by my department.
Prior to my current role, I was the Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection at the US Department of Homeland Security, but before that I spent my career mostly in the utility sector, including the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power.
Unlocking human potential through video analytics
E. Michael Poe , Director of Product Management, 3xLOGIC , explores how organizations can take advantage of the data captured by video analytics.
In a world saturated with data, collecting it is no longer enough for a strategic advantage.
Instead, the best security leaders are leveraging their surveillance systems to gather, consolidate, analyze and respond to events and threats using advanced video analytics.
As this piece will explore, the potential uses for your surveillance system extend far beyond traditional security, providing greater peace of mind, operational efficiencies and value across your organization.
Thinking out loud: why audio is essential for security
Dan Rothrock , President of Zenitel Americas, explores why audio is vital for security and how AI will shape its future.
“As humans, communication is essential to the way we interact,” Rothrock explained.
“What we hear and the way we say those things are all shape how relate to the world.”
For example, the very first day an infant is placed in its mother’s arms, it will start to recognize the difference between the sounds that are around it – setting the stage for how important communication is throughout our entire lifetime.
The crisis at the front door: office security challenges
Solving the hybrid work era’s most stubborn office security challenges, according to David Zhai , Lead Product Manager at Verkada .
A few months back, a CEO shared something with me that blew my mind: in between meetings with his investors, board and executive team, he often had to step away from his desk to answer his office’s front door.
The CEO found himself in this situation because the office receptionist was no longer just responsible for welcoming visitors.
The receptionist now had a range of duties which included receiving deliveries, putting away packages, refilling the communal coffee pot, cleaning up conference rooms and coordinating office celebrations.
