High Level Security Protocols for the Transportation Industry is Critical
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
The transportation industry is a complex and dynamic environment where efficient management of physical keys, vehicles and shared devices is critical to ensuring smooth operations, reducing costs and maintaining security. Every day, more transportation facilities are using modern electronic key and asset management systems to better secure, audit and manage the important assets that keep operations running smoothly.
Expediting efficiency. Fleet vehicles are the lifeblood of the transportation industry, particularly for larger facilities, but managing their access and usage can be challenging, especially if they’re located at multiple sites. Key cabinets play an integral role in fleet vehicle management by controlling and monitoring vehicle access, which increases driver accountability, plus they ensure even use and instill safer processes.
With dedicated features to track vehicle mileage, fuel levels, parking location and vehicle faults, key cabinets allow administrators to monitor vehicle usage in real-time, set specific permissions and access levels for each driver, receive alerts when a vehicle is due for maintenance or service, track vehicle locations and monitor parking assignments.

Machine Learning Lends Transformative Advances in Physical Security
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
In physical security, machine learning can speed up investigations by assisting security teams in finding relevant information quickly. Machine learning helps analyze data that hasn’t been organized or labeled. By identifying patterns or possible relationships between data, such tools help security teams, law enforcement, and other staff gain a better understanding of an incident or important correlations between trends.
On the operations side, machine learning helps organizations better leverage their physical security investments. Machine learning can help glean actionable insights from the system data to ramp up productivity. This often leads to improved operations.

Enhanced Surveillance with AI-Enabled Audio Cameras
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
Audio analytics, available in many AI-enabled cameras, can add context to what operators see on the screen, helping them validate assumptions. If a glass-break detection alert is received moments before seeing a person on camera, the added situational awareness makes the event more actionable.
