Providing value beyond security
Jonathan Rickard ?? , Sales Engineer at i-PRO , looks at how businesses can unlock return on investment for modern surveillance systems.?
The security industry is profoundly transforming as new technologies redefine how organisations manage and invest in surveillance infrastructure.
From operational expense (OPEX) models to cutting-edge AI-driven analytics, the focus has shifted towards scalable, flexible and future-proof systems that deliver tangible returns on investment (ROI).??
Traditionally, security investments have relied heavily on capital expenditure (Capex).
Living your business values?
We firmly believe that a reputation needs to be earned, maintained and expanded, says Martin Woollam , Group Commercial Director at Professional Security .
Professional Security has always sought to benchmark itself to the highest nationally recognised standards.
The company was started 20 years ago by a challenge issued to CEO David Fullerton whilst working as a Door Supervisor to fund his way through university.
When Dave went to his manager and suggested some improvements to service delivery, he was told “If you can do better yourself – be my guest”. That challenge was well and truly accepted.?
Finding a true vision
Christian Goetz , Co-Founder of F24 AG , speaks to SJUK to reflect on his journey and provide insights into the creation of the company.
25 years ago, when Goetz left his prestigious job in the automotive industry at the age of 27 to launch a SaaS company for alerting systems—it was a bold move.
Back then, software as a service was fairly new and the world was still ruled by hardware-based, manual processes.??
Stepping away from a stable career, into the uncertainty of a tech startup might have seemed to be a brave decision, but one driven by a clear vision and a desire to innovate.?
Why false alarms from intruder systems are resurging
Matthew Holliday , NSI’s Director of Technical Services & Field Operations, explains why false alarms from intruder systems are resurging.
A challenge faced by the security industry 30 years ago has recently re-emerged – false alarms from intruder systems.
Back in the mid-’90s this had become a serious concern.
Yet despite being successfully resolved by industry-wide action at the time, the past 18 months has seen a fresh increase in false alarms being erroneously referred for police response, largely due to technical vulnerabilities in dual path signalling systems.??

Product Focus: NETSCOUT upgrades portfolio to guard critical IT infrastructure
NETSCOUT SYSTEMS (UK) LIMITED has updated its Arbor Edge Defence (AED) and Arbor Enterprise Manager (AEM) products as part of its Adaptive DDoS Protection Solution.
NETSCOUT’s DDoS Threat Intelligence Report noted that application-layer and volumetric attacks have increased by over 43 percent and 30 percent, respectively.
DDoS-for-hire services have also increased in number and sophistication, making attacks easier to launch, the company reports.
The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) also recently released a cybersecurity advisory that validated the need for better controls to prevent and detect malicious activity, reinforcing enterprises’ need for protective solutions to minimise business risk.

1 个月Very interesting ! From what I am gleaning off American and Australian and NZ and African media among other, is that the core security UK is offering UK citizens is the deepest dungeon no-comms padded cells with extremist terrorists as company IF they are fervent patriotic European and English citizens that dare to "think" differently to the reigning extreme dhimmi'ing government. When did the censorship and extremism against own citizens start especially through the media lackeys and is it all just part of the jizya warfare against Europeans ?
