The Museum of the Bible adapted their access control system to suit the new restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, adopting a system from Qylur. Check out the physical security case study here.

The National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS⁴⁾ and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have jointly released best practices for touchless screening systems for events and venues.

Narita Airport is installing 62 units of Ultraviolet (UV) light tray disinfection equipment across security checkpoints by March 2022.

Two common options for surveillance and perimeter protection are visible cameras with near infrared illumination capabilities and thermal imaging cameras—both are optimal for distinct situations. However, optimal lighting isn’t always available or guaranteed, especially when a scenario calls for 24-hour awareness for security applications, including outdoor, remote, or rural locations, or if there is need to see beyond the fence line to identify and react to incoming threats. 

One thing is clear: the hybrid model will be permanent. Occupier requirements are constantly evolving and they are driving new considerations for landlords and workspace providers. Let’s review the core considerations and components required to create a secure tech operating layer that reassures the integrity of the workspace, operation and infrastructure while delivering a great occupier experience.

This is why opportunities for protective intelligence analysts are growing and, as digital transformation continues, will be one of the most in-demand roles at corporations alongside cybersecurity experts.
