When it comes to intelligent video surveillance in particular, AI-driven products are beginning to unlock new functionality, and even change the role video surveillance plays for companies. From better sensors to higher resolution cameras to more efficient processing units, we're seeing an unparalleled convergence of hardware and software. And that's creating new opportunities for everything from intelligent threat detection to personalized customer experiences. We're just at the beginning of this journey, but it's clear that best practices are changing. Seemingly in real-time, security professionals are reimagining how they'll build their teams, structure engagements and define their value. We're all still building the playbook as we use it, but here are four new, unspoken "rules" for the new world of security - and how they'll continue to evolve thanks to AI.

Billions of searches take place on the surface web every day. Synonymous with Google, this part of the web is indexed by search engines. Try searching your name and you’ll likely be met with thousands if not millions of results, a few of which are familiar to you – your social media profiles, bio on your employer’s website, mentions in the news. The surface, or “clear” web, is only the tip of the iceberg, as vast as it may seem. In fact, it makes up only 4% of the entire World Wide Web. A much larger chunk of the web, the deep web, lies beneath the surface and is not indexed by search engines – but it is still just as important for security professionals to monitor.
