INDUSTRY FOCUS With Ralph C. Jensen, Editor-in-Chief Leaning Toward the Future Do you know the phrase about old dogs and new tricks? Well, that’s where my life was headed 27 years ago when I became acquainted with Security (Products) To- day magazine. I’ve learned a lot of new things the past three decades, some of which we proudly share with you on a daily basis. In this issue of Security Today maga- zine, I’m pleased to share a half dozen articles from security experts who detail technology trends in the security space. Let’s look. Kevin Seo. Talk about “future proof- ing” technology, then the conversation must revolve around cloud. Think about it, everyone is living a cloud-based life. Remember five years ago, cloud wasn’t a sure bet because of concerns over cost of video retention, expansion and stor- age, and bandwidth. It has evolved and matured, sort of like an old dog and new tricks. There is much more to this and is our Cover Story on Page 16. Fredrik Nilsson. Cloud adoption is growing at an astonishing rate. As trends continue, it is important to consider po- tential pitfalls. What is in it for the security industry, please turn to page 20.
