Why Security Must Get a Grip of New Technology

 

In an article I wrote last year on Info4Security, entitled Security and The Intelligent Building, I waxed lyrical about the exciting opportunities advancing technology in the security sector is providing for the serious systems integrator, and the fact that it presents such a great catalyst for change.

Growth in IP security and surveillance and the developing convergence with IT certainly provides a powerful platform for transforming our industry. However, with opportunity comes challenge and change.

Systems are now more powerful and complex, encompassing a host of hardware, firmware and software residing on a common network and performing an array of functions. All of this is usually derived from an assortment of manufacturers, suppliers and developers.

As these systems become more bespoke, cohesive, intelligent and interconnected a more diverse and higher degree of skill will be required to make these systems work correctly and achieve their defined objectives.

As our traditional analogue industry continues to fade, so the value of our historic experience and knowledge diminishes. It's therefore essential for the very survival of our industry - as we come under increasing threat from the powerful IT sector - that the people responsible for the development, design and implementation of these complex systems require new skill sets.
