ASIS webinar addresses impact of technology changes to security systems
How are the technology advances of the near future about to impact your security system? On Wednesday, January 27 at noon eastern time, four technology leaders will attempt to provide answers about where technology is going, and how technology trends will affect physical security technology roadmaps. They all come from the world of information technology, and are applying that knowledge in their particular fields of expertise in the domain of physical security.
Some of the issues that will be tackled during this hour and a half webinar include:
- How quickly could my existing security technology become obsolete?
- How can I tell when a cloud-based technology is secure enough to use?
- What questions should I be asking my vendors of choice?
- What does “future-proof” mean in the context of accelerating technology change?
- Will proprietary systems lock me out of technology advancements?
- Is there anything I should be doing to make my existing security systems more secure?
