Asset Security Trends: Securing Your Business for the Future
November 2, 2022 | 11:00 AM (EDT)
Protecting your property and assets with a proactive approach is critical—and must go beyond the traditional alarm system. While new advances in AI have improved monitoring, surveillance, and response times, these advances in technology are now being exploited by malign actors. To properly secure businesses and assets, leaders must understand the current security landscape and threats, as well as best practices when it comes to selecting asset security equipment and providers.
In this webinar, Global Guardian’s panel of experts shared their professional experiences, providing expert advice on why a less expensive solution is not always the best solution when it comes to asset security, and how to look for options that go beyond the traditional response.
