Moving forward, protecting information — and video images — will favor cloud deployments, as cyber security upgrades are automatic and failover and redundancy are best practices.

Yesterday at the ADT roadshow in Chicago, I heard a reinforced vote of confidence in recent trends, such as cloud computing, mobile security, big data and analytics for a client-funded security model.
