Securing New Ground 2020, like virtually every other industry event this year took place, well, virtually — for three hours each day on October 21 and 22. But within that format it managed to cover a lot of ground, as it always does. The event that bills itself as the security industry’s executive conference, seeks to look at the industry from a high level view and this year was no exception.
Coinciding with the unveiling of the 2021 top 10 SIA Security Megatrends (artificial intelligence; cybersecurity of physical security; predictive data analysis; connectivity and the IoT of everything; cloud computing; touchless and frictionless solutions; facial recognition; responsive environments and intelligent spaces; emphasis on data privacy; and move to service models), SNG touched on all of these topics and more throughout the two-day event.
