A Security Management Platform Must Manage Events In Real Time To Manage Crisis.
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
A security management platform must provide clarity and control to act for greater efficiency and serve as the foundation for continuously improving security. It should optimize security operations, streamline services with real-time status updates, and manage events and team responses in real time to enable efficient management of sites, systems, events, users and data.

Deterrence, Detection, Delay, & Response.
Physical security technology helps to control access, monitor behavior, and respond to potential threats, thus enhancing overall security posture. It involves securing organizational assets from harm due to physical events, including natural disasters like fires and floods, and human-inflicted dangers like theft and vandalism.
Elements of an effective physical security plan–
- Deterrence: Deterrence can encompass various equipment such as signage, security cameras and door access systems. It also includes physical barriers such as doors, locks and walls.
- Detection: Technologies used for physical security detection measures are sensors, alarms and automatic notifications via video management software.
- Delay: Simple security measures such as additional doors, locks and security guards can help delay incidents. More advanced physical security technology, such as key card access and mobile credentials, can make it more difficult for unauthorized users trying to enter a building.
- Response: A response strategy such as building lockdowns or automatically notifying emergency services is critical.

Artificial Intelligence Technology Delivers Proactive Security and Efficient Crisis Response.
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
The early days of artificial intelligence technology (AI) and facial recognition in video surveillance were often inaccurate and prone to false positives, limiting their effectiveness. Continuous advancements in AI algorithms and processing power have significantly improved the accuracy and reliability of these technologies.
Artificial intelligence and cloud technologies have become mainstream in the video surveillance industry. Cloud-based solutions offer scalable, flexible storage and processing capabilities, reducing the need for on-prem infrastructure.
