You met Jim on the floor

Same budget. More layers.

Sworn officers where you need a person. Mobile surveillance units, guard booths and solar lighting for sites that end. Integration services, design through build and service, for sites that don't. One business partner, start to finish.

The GSX interviews

What the floor was really talking about.

I talked with the people behind the platforms security leaders keep asking me about. First up: Riley from Verkada, on why one platform for cameras, access control and building controls keeps coming up.

A new interview posts every week over the next few weeks. Leave your details below and you get each one first.

Leave your details. I take it from here.

Ten seconds. You will hear from me within one business day with the one number that matters for your posts or your sites.

No newsletter unless you ask for one. Your details go to Jim and nobody else.
