Despite an increased commitment to “security-by-design” principles, the security industry is still spending significant time and money post-build to fix security issues, risking dire retroactive effects, according to a new report by Brivo.
The report, “The State of ‘Security-by-Design’: Is Security an Afterthought in Building Design?,” surveyed 800 decision-makers in building design across the United States, United Kingdom and the DACH regions. The results show that physical security is, today, more important in building design than ever. A decade ago, security was not considered a top priority, but it is now a top three concern — only safety and sustainability were seen as more important.
