Security industry professionals seem to hold differing opinions on whether video surveillance or access control is the predominant platform when implementing an integrated security solution. Truth of the matter is that access control systems are more prevalent in terms of the sheer number of systems deployed, the size and scale of deployments and actual daily engagement by users. And for good reason! When a potentially threatening event unfolds, an access control system can instantly shut down a facility, or specific areas within it, potentially saving lives.
What is an insider threat? Security professionals know that insider threats, by their nature, are a broad-based threat and, more than ever before, can be extremely difficult to defend against. In this article, we will briefly discuss the possible risks, as well as some options for building up your defenses.
Whether fire, flood, drought, earthquake, hurricane, political unrest or cyberattack, there is no place that organizations can go to be completely safe from disaster.
Of the 15 percent of workers who changed or lost their jobs in the past year, half took confidential company data with them – and 52 percent didn’t view the use of such documents as a crime. A lack of security can impact an organization’s growth and innovation, making it more difficult to meet workforce and customer needs.

For corporate travel managers, understanding Duty of Care is essential for ensuring compliance and establishing a sufficient travel policy for employees.
With San Francisco banning the use of facial recognition technologies for their local agencies, the debate on the efficacy of the technology has risen back into the national debate arena.
Security teams today are under-staffed, over-worked, under-funded and struggling to stay abreast of the ever-changing threat landscape. Many security analysts work long hours poring over millions of security events to protect systems and fix vulnerabilities. Simply put, there is too much information and not enough analysts. Fortunately, humans are not the only answer for solving the cybersecurity crisis.
Battery back-up is essential for virtually every video surveillance, access and security system, as power interuptions can occur at any time with little to no warning. Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries have been the mainstay back-up solution for security professionals for nearly four decades, but now there’s a new and extremely efficient option available ¬that changes everything. Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, also known as LiFePO4 batteries, provide significant performance and long-term, cost-saving advantages that will eventually render SLA batteries obsolete.
