A recent survey conducted by Genetec in 2024 has illuminated the rapidly advancing trend of cloud adoption within the realm of physical security. The survey unveiled that 44% of end-users now report that over a quarter of their physical security environments are either fully cloud-based or incorporate a hybrid approach. This represents a notable surge from the 24% reported in the previous year, signifying a significant embrace of cloud solutions within the industry.

In response to this paradigm shift, a webinar was scheduled for Tuesday, March 5th, 2024, offering valuable insights into harnessing the benefits of cloud models. This webinar, featuring experts from Genetec, Axis Communications, and Convergint, addressed various facets of cloud deployment, including dispelling common misconceptions, surmounting transitional challenges, and engaging with systems integrators to explore innovative ownership models.

The webinar covered key topics, including

  • Dispelling Misconceptions: Experts debunked myths surrounding cloud deployments, providing clarity on the advantages and considerations associated with such implementations.
  • Navigating Transitional Challenges: Strategies and insights were shared on effectively navigating the transitional phase as organisations transition to cloud-based solutions.
  • Effective Collaboration with Integrators: Attendees learned how to collaborate effectively with systems integrators, exploring new ownership models and ensuring seamless integration of cloud solutions into existing security infrastructures.
  • Optimising Hybrid Solutions: Panelists discussed the merits of a hybrid approach, blending on-premises and cloud-based solutions, and provided practical insights into achieving harmonious integration for maximum benefits.

Convergint’s participation in the webinar underscored its commitment to sharing industry expertise and aiding organisations in navigating the evolving landscape of physical security. As cloud adoption continues its rapid ascent, the insights provided by Convergint and other industry leaders are proving invaluable for businesses seeking to optimise their security infrastructure. Interested parties were encouraged to register for the webinar to gain deeper insights into leveraging cloud solutions effectively.
