Conclusion & Q&A
• Summary of key takeaways
92% of security leaders agree: the future of physical security is in the cloud. With this inevitable shift from on-premise setups to feature-rich cloud systems join us as we explore the past, present and future of cloud-based security. In this session, we’ll discuss:
• The benefits and considerations of pure cloud, hybrid cloud, and old-school security setups.
• How AI can revolutionise physical security across any industry.
• Why security pros are moving away from vintage on-prem solutions in favour of the cloud (spoiler: it’s all about speed and flexibility).
• How can integrated systems improve threat detection and response in real-time?
