Video management platform "Cawamo represents where the security industry is headed," says Goldfine. "AI is changing how organizations protect people and assets. The companies that successfully combine AI, automation, intelligent workflows, and human expertise will define the future of security operations. “VisiGuard is more than another video management platform. It provides the intelligence layer that allows monitoring centres to become more efficient, scalable, and proactive. The market opportunity is enormous, and Cawamo is exceptionally well positioned to capitalize. I'm excited to help accelerate the company's growth, expand visibility, strengthen strategic partnerships, and communicate the huge value for customers, partners, and investors." Experiencing substantial growth Industry analysts estimate that the global markets for remote video monitoring, AI-powered video analytics, and remote guarding will experience substantial growth over the next decade as organizations increasingly replace traditional guarding models with intelligent technology enabled security operations. Security labour shortages, rising operating expenses, false alarm reduction initiatives, and advances in cloud computing and artificial intelligence continue to accelerate adoption across virtually every commercial market. Cawamo's VisiGuard platform enables remote monitoring centres, enterprise security teams, systems integrators, and security providers to transform virtually any surveillance camera into an intelligent virtual security guard. Cloud-based platform The cloud-based platform combines advanced AI analytics, intelligent event detection, automated workflows, centralized command-and-control, live intervention, reporting, and operational management into a unified solution that improves detection accuracy, reduces nuisance alarms, increases operator productivity, lowers operating costs, and enables highly scalable remote security operations. With Goldfine joining its executive leadership team, Cawamo is further strengthening its ability to execute its long-term growth strategy, expand its partner ecosystem, increase market awareness, and capitalize on one of the fastest-growing opportunities in the global security technology industry. Goldfine’s previous roles include Marketing Director for remote guarding specialist Elite Interactive Solutions, which he led to several national awards, including The Monitoring Association’s 2026 Monitoring Center of the Year. Prior to Elite, Goldfine served as longtime Editor-in-Chief and Associate Publisher of Security Sales & Integration, one of the market’s most respected trade journals. His accomplishments included founding several programs that have become institutionalised within the security industry.

At GSX 2025, Cawamo will unveil a major advancement in its AI-powered platform: the introduction of behavior analytics designed to cut through the overwhelming flood of alerts in today’s command and control centers. Instead of treating every motion or presence as a potential breach, Cawamo’s system now applies behavior analytics to distinguish between ordinary activity and meaningful security events. The result is a powerful ability to filter out the majority of non-interesting intrusion detections, leaving operators with a clear focus on alerts that reflect abnormal or suspicious behavior. Transforming the daily workflow This leap forward transforms the daily workflow of security teams: less noise, less distraction, and far more attention on real threats. By simplifying operations and improving decision-making, Cawamo is redefining what “command and control” means in the era of AI. "This innovation is about clarity," said David Yakov, CEO of Cawamo, adding "Operators don’t need to waste time with meaningless alerts. With advanced behavior analytics, we are giving them the ability to focus on what truly matters — and that’s a breakthrough for the entire industry." Cawamo at GSX 2025 Cawamo invites GSX attendees to witness this innovation firsthand at Booth 2401, where the company will demonstrate how it is moving the industry forward by eliminating noise and driving sharper, faster, and smarter security operations.

Cawamo, a next-generation security SaaS company, announced it will exhibit at the Global Security Exchange (GSX) with live demonstrations of its unified, AI-powered command & control platform. GSX will be held September 29–October 1 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. Organized by ASIS International, GSX is one of North America’s largest annual security events, convening thousands of professionals from across the commercial security ecosystem. Real-time AI analytics “Security operations teams are tired of stitching together a ‘Frankenstein’ stack,’” said David Yakov, CEO of Cawamo. “Cawamo is a game-changer that replaces multiple point products with one platform: Cloud VMS, PSIM workflow, real-time AI analytics, cloud recording, health monitoring, reporting, and SIP-based talk-down — all deployed the same day, without upfront hardware. That means faster response, lower operating costs, and a cleaner operator experience.” How operators can showcase Cawamo will showcase how operators can: View live sites, recent recordings, and AI insights in a single pane of glass Trigger automated or operator-led SIP audio talk-down with configurable playbooks Connect to virtually any IP camera with rapid onboarding Generate incident and trend reports for both monitoring centers and enterprise SOCs Scale from one site to nationwide deployments without new on-prem hardware How same-day command & control reduces time-to-value “We built Cawamo to help remote monitoring companies, integrators, and enterprise SOCs run lean while elevating service quality,” added Mike Taylor, VP, Americas. “At GSX, visitors will see how same-day command & control reduces time-to-value — from proof-of-concept to production — in hours, not months.” What: Global Security Exchange (GSX) Where: Ernest N.
