For more than four decades, Benghazi Children's Hospital has served local communities and families. Cover...

Security operations centres of the past were pictured as quiet control room filled with blinking dashboards with constant surveillance from human analysts. Today, cyber security teams utilize high-speed decision engines; constantly interpreting signals, filtering noise, and responding to threats that evolve by the minute. In this environment, terms like AI SOC, SIEM, and SOAR are often used interchangeably, yet each plays a distinct role. In this article, users will learn what sets these three...

Security operations today can feel like trying to drink from a firehose while someone keeps turning up the pressure. Alerts sound from every direction, each demanding attention as it carries the possibility of a real threat. Somewhere in that torrent, genuine risks hide among noise. This is where many Security Operations Centres (SOCs) begin to struggle. In this article, users will learn how an AI-powered SOC transforms this experience by reducing false positives and easing alert fatigue. We wi...

As the pace of progress quickens, organizations face a growing volume of alerts and increasingly sophisticated attacks. Security teams are expected to detect and respond to threats quickly, often with limited resources. This is where an AI-native Security Operations Centre (SOC) becomes essential to improve visibility, detection accuracy, and response times. Alerts rain down, attackers adapt in real time, and defenders are expected to see patterns in the chaos. A SOC is fueled not just by algori...

Cyber threats are evolving at a pace that bewilder even seasoned security analysts. Attackers used to be easy to detect; with their reliance on phishing emails riddled with spelling mistakes or predictable malware signatures. Today’s threat actors are harnessing artificial intelligence to automate reconnaissance, generate convincing social engineering campaigns, evade detection, and adapt their attacks in real time. Against this backdrop, many traditional Security Operations Centre, or SOC...

Casinos are tasked with monitoring vast gaming floors, cashier cages, and access points. The market for casino security and surveillance demands software and hardware that provide high-definition, multi-angle visual coverage to ensure the integrity of the games and to protect players, staff, and the public. Like other vertical markets for physical security technology, the casino market is undergoing change and facing challenges. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: How are new technologies...

Like other disciplines in the world of corporate security, executive protection is evolving from reactive to proactive. Unlike reactive bodyguards, modern executive protection professionals use a proactive approach focused on risk mitigation, advance planning, and threat intelligence to prevent incidents before they happen. What is the role of technology? We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: How can physical security technology promote better executive protection?

The eagerness to adopt AI in physical security is increasing as teams want to implement technology solutions for faster, smarter operations. At the same time, the conversations surrounding AI have changed. The focus now includes not only efficiency gains but also concerns about accountability and trust. According to the Genetec 2026 State of Physical Security report, AI ranked alongside access control and video surveillance as a key priority. However, approximately 40% of the over 7,000 physica...

Deploying artificial intelligence (AI) tools should be seen as a business initiative rather than a technology initiative, says Martin Soukup, CTO of Solink, a cloud-based video security and data intelligence platform. The approach makes a difference that plays out in practical terms. A technology initiative is tactical and solution-oriented, often solving an isolated problem within a single department's silo. In other words, it might solve just a security problem. In contrast, a business init...

If AI is the dominant buzzword in the physical security industry, it is the second letter (I for intelligence) that is having the biggest impact. Simply put, intelligence transforms computer systems, including those used for physical security, from rigid, rule-following calculators into adaptable, problem-solving partners to human operators. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: What is the changing role of intelligence in physical security?

The biggest return on investment from an AI-enabled camera might have nothing to do with security. Organizations are increasingly discovering that the same cameras installed to protect people and property can also improve safety, streamline operations, automate routine workflows, and generate valuable business intelligence. Security remains the primary mission, but it is increasingly only the first customer for the intelligence these systems produce. AI-enabled cameras are rapidly becoming dis...
