Safe and seamless access control with HID
Matt Haynes, Channel Director for PACS at HID explores the ways in which cloud-powered access control solutions are evolving beyond security to play a crucial role in enhanced building experiences.
The way we interact with buildings is evolving, and security systems are no exception.
The modern building is a complex ecosystem, with multiple systems and departments working together to ensure smooth operation and occupant safety.
However, disconnection between these systems, particularly between security and building management, can hinder efficiency and create security vulnerabilities.?
What does AI mean for cybersecurity?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the digital landscape at an unprecedented rate. In this article, Miguel Clarke , GRC and cybersecurity lead at Armor Defense explains more about the technology and what it means for the cybersecurity industry.?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a topic of much discussion now, not just within the technology and cybersecurity industries but across the mainstream media.
However, AI is not all that new.
By the broadest definition, there has been some form of it operating since 1951, so why is it dominating headlines now???
Making concrete plans for intruder detection and deterrence
Kelly Barnes , Senior Intelligence Analyst, DeterTech | UK & IE argues for a multi-layered approach that addresses intruder detection and deterrence in a single plan.
Ranging from large-scale theft by organised criminal gangs to opportunistic vandalism, remote sites up and down the country face a common and persistent threat: crime resulting from unwanted and unauthorised site access.??
It’s a daily headache for our construction, rail and energy sectors which find themselves repeatedly targeted by those coveting the valuable equipment, materials and fuel found on their premises.
Though just as worrying are the significant safety hazards it presents to both workers and the public.??
With cyberattacks on the rise, how can organisations fight back against criminals?
Andrew Smith , Chief Information and Strategy Officer at KYOCERA Document Solutions UK discusses how organisations can fight back against the rising number of cyberattacks.
As technology becomes more advanced, so does cybercrime.
From 2022 to 2023, 75% of security professionals observed increases in cyber-attacks, while a Statista analysis estimates that the cost of cybercrime will rise to $13.8 trillion globally by 2028.
Ransomware as a service has left cyber tools more accessible to threat actors and AI is now playing a key role in cybercrime with dynamic action, code, and approach.
