About this Event
Protect your people and property. Simplify daily operations. Know who responds when it matters.
Join Fortified Technologies and Frontier Solutions for an evening exploring how physical security, AI, and cybersecurity can work together to protect your business.
Designed for business owners and leaders, this practical discussion connects the cameras and doors protecting your building with the identities, networks, and information supporting your operations.
One incident. Several systems. Who connects the story?
Someone enters a building at 2 a.m. and leaves carrying a laptop.
What would the access records reveal? Would anyone check the cameras while it was happening? What if the person’s badge should already have been disabled—or the laptop began showing suspicious activity?
We’ll follow this scenario from the front door to the network, exploring how different security setups change what a business can detect, understand, and respond to.
What you’ll learn
- Earlier awareness and response: How connected cameras, access control, AI alerts, and monitoring can support verification and intervention.
- Everyday business value: Faster investigations, simpler access management, and remote oversight.
- Responsible AI and privacy: What AI should be allowed to do, who checks its work, and how footage and personal information are used and shared.
- Secure system access: How identity verification, appropriate permissions, and reliable offboarding help protect the security platform itself.
- Accountability you can verify: The role of audit records, configuration reviews, secure cloud services, and tested response procedures.
