The complexities in our environment have seen a quantum leap in recent years. Even something that we take for granted, in our everyday world, physical security, has seen a huge change in technologies that are deployed to keep us all safe.
Learning from several professionals in the industry, from an edge infrastructure perspective, here’s what we hear:
- That today’s physicalsecurity technologies are complex and have different vendor interfaces to manage them – tracking if they are up / down, tracking their performance, constant maintenance to keep them running continuously has seen a huge evolution from earlier days…
- There is a heightened security need (in the components that offer security!!) complicated by sheer deployment numbers and highly advanced technologies getting into these devices (silicon and AI to begin with) – integrating them holistically has become a challenge in itself…
- Finally, the ability to manage critical edge components to keep them all patched clean and have an understanding of risk exposure at any point, is fast emerging as a CxO concern – already a CISO / CEO level compliance issue.
