Clear Communications
Security teams face sophisticated risks By Bruce Czerwinski
Technology within the security industry has adapted to numerous changes through the years, from the early days of analog devices to today’s IP-based solutions, networked cameras, and access control solutions, in addition to analytics, cloud-based products, virtual security guards, and more. In fact, no facility would operate without security technology. Even more, technolo- gies such as metal detectors, facial recognition, panic buttons and software used to analyze key words in social media feeds are be-
coming more commonplace.
That technology is necessary due to the number of sophis-
ticated risks that security teams face each day. Every area of a facility, inside and out, including doors, rooms and open spaces, and the fence-line at a perimeter, is necessary to successfully op- erate a business and keep employees, visitors, and vendors safe and secure.
Yet, no matter what security technology is in place, the need for clear communication always remains.
