The Potential Impact of Emerging Security Technologies

What is required on campus?
• Security •Personal•Institution•Ease of management
• Opportunities•Freedom of movement•Integration
Trends Technology• We normally associate trends with new technology• Not the case in security for 2015+• What is the driver?
• Value• TCO• ROI• Measurable benefits
• In other words …
Integration• ROI depends on integration• Integration overcomes grudge purchase mentality• Integrations means security & profitability• Integrate other business platforms
• Measurable operational improvement
• Security becomes a business process
Integration ...
• Integration also brings in the IT world• Information security• Cyber security• Data security• Identity security
• Silos are vulnerable, you have to talk to each other
Security is a joint (integrated) effort
Technology Examples
What Makes an Impact?• Real world applicability• Proven in the field• Adds value to security and other areas of
business• Makes sense
Ultra HD / 4K• Resolution four times higher than HDTV• HDTV = 1080p or 1920 x 1080 pixels• 4K = 3840 x 2160 pixels or 2160p• Big is in:
• Digital Watchdog – 48 MP• Avigilon – 7K
• 8K Ultra HD/Super Hi-Vision (4320p) also exists (in broadcasting) • 8K = 7680 x 4320 pixels or ≈ 33.2 megapixels
Ultra HD / 4K

On campus?• Broad areas under surveillance• Clear zoom for facial recognition
or LPR• Better analytics • Better after hours surveillance• Virtual patrols so guards can do
something useful
Thermal cameras• Heat signature of people and things• Everyone is doing it, forcing price declines• Market is responding aggressively• Intelligence is increasing• Good for 24x7 automated detection • No usable evidence
Analogue Revival• Analogue HD (HDSDI, HDCVI, HDTVI, AHD …) gives analogue
infrastructure a second life ...• 720p or 1080p• Too many formats, no leader in the field• Open technology will probably win (but some companies are
putting big money behind proprietary solutions)• Time will tell ...
Access Control is in Vogue• Surveillance has been the cool kid for years• Access control is making a comeback• Access is also IP
• More manageable• More integration options• More data for intelligent analysis
• Access is the foundation for integration• Mobile devices on the rise• Linked to identity management and authentication• Crossing over from physical to virtual world
Biometrics: Quiet Giant• Biometrics will grow, but not as an experiment (20% CAGR)
• Increased usage• Increased value• Increased arguments
• Better technology• Fingerprint• Facial• Iris• Ear• Etc.
Biometrics• Biometrics will be more prevalent and more companies will learn
hard lessons• Goedkoop is duurkoop
• Passwords and PINs won’t go away, may improve security slightly• Cards are still popular and will be for a long time• Mobile devices will start to be used as access devices
• You may leave your wallet and access card at home, but you will not leave your cell phone behind without breaking out in a panic
• Vulnerabilities will increase in all forms of access
Mobile• Mobile is a buzzword, but there are significant benefits• Not an app frenzy, but a value proposition
• Video verification• OHS by video• Site inspections• Quality assurance• Access control – especially on campus• ...
Intelligence is In• Big data = intelligent analytics • Security Intelligence• Business Intelligence• Building Intelligence• Financial Intelligence since the above can reduce
costs and improve profits• Video on display is so 20th century
Internet of Things• Scary stuff, but real• Everything is connected
• TV• Alarm• Camera• Fridge• Garage door• Etc.
• But nothing is secured
Internet of Things• But this is not simple being able to access the Internet. This time the
machines are talking to each other and making decisions• Management platforms will be overwhelmed
• But nothing is secured
