| | SEPTEMBER 20248CIOReviewIN MY OPINIONHOW AI ELEVATES CORPORATE PHYSICAL SECURITYBy William Davis, Sr. Director of Physical Security, AllyIn an era of rapidly advancing technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool, revolutionizing various sectors. One such area that has greatly benefited from AI is corporate security. AI is transforming the traditional paradigms of security, enhancing threat detection, and fortifying measures to protect businesses and their assets. Let's delve into how AI is reshaping corporate security.One of the more common and well-known examples is AI-powered video surveillance systems. Years ago, AI took surveillance to a whole new level. Traditionally, camera systems were people-intensive and rarely detected threats. These systems can detect unusual activities, unauthorized personnel, or potential security threats through advanced algorithms in real-time. AI can analyze vast amounts of video footage, identify patterns, and raise alerts, bringing attention to threats and enabling quicker response times and improved situational awareness.The continued advancement of AI in security systems brought us behavioral analysis and anomaly detection. Using AI algorithms, security systems can learn and recognize normal behavior patterns within a corporate environment. Any deviation from these patterns can trigger alerts, allowing for immediate intervention. This proactive approach enhances security by identifying potential threats based on unusual actions or behaviors.The very near future of AI in corporate security systems will bring us, more accurate predictive analysis and threat forecasting, incident response optimization and a tighter integration with cyber and physical security. Predictive analysis and threat forecasting in corporate physical security represent a shift from reactive to proactive security measures, leveraging the power of AI to anticipate and mitigate potential security risks. This approach involves analyzing historical data, patterns, and trends to forecast future threats and vulnerabilities. Here's a deeper look into how this technology is transforming security strategies:Data Analysis and Pattern Recognition:Predictive analysis begins by aggregating and analyzing vast amounts of data from various sources within and outside the organization. AI algorithms sift through this data, identifying patterns and trends related to security incidents, breaches, or vulnerabilities. The difficulty in the past has been collecting and amalgamating this data into one usable data set. Advances in APIs and integrations outside the traditional physical security applications have started to bridge this gap. William Davis
