A closer look inside the mobile wallet
Sanjit Bardhan , Vice President & Head of Global Mobile Business at HID looks inside the mobile wallet.?
The rise of smartphones and mobile wallets has fundamentally changed how we interact with workplaces and their services globally.
This trend is further amplified by the growing adoption of these technologies across more digitally native generations.
And because people always have their devices with them, accessing places and moving around different parts of the building through them makes sense.?
Counter Terrorism: transitioning from binary to holistic thinking
Guy Neale , defence and security expert and Andy Brown , national security expert at PA Consulting explain how moving from binary to holistic thinking can transform counter terrorism.
The UK’s Head of Counter Terrorism, Matt Jukes, recently spoke of seeing a sharp rise in counter terrorism threats projected into the UK by hostile state actors.
Meanwhile, the latest data from the Home Office shows that the number of young people arrested for terrorism offences hit a record high in 2023.??
This terrain is undoubtedly difficult to navigate.
Making an entrance with Meesons
Ian Hoey , Sales & Marketing Director at Meesons discusses entrance and access solutions for unique building challenges.
Building journeys should be secure and accessible yet entirely instinctual for users.
True success is reaching the end point without hindrance, regardless of the barriers to people’s protection.
Complexities occur when buildings demand higher levels of security, resulting in the question: How do we ensure the right level of security at access points while reducing the adverse effects on design, throughput, and user experience?
How to build the bonds between Developers and AppSec teams
Peter Chestna , CISO North America, at Checkmarx looks at why fostering a relationship between security specialists and software developers is growing in importance.
In recent years, the responsibility for application security has become something of a shared responsibility between security specialists and software developers.
However, this shift has not necessarily translated into developers receiving the resources and support they need, particularly as they are pushed to meet tight production deadlines.
This often leads to challenges in the dynamic between developers and security teams, that can negatively impact both the working culture and the team’s productivity.
