I have spent a lot of time traveling the security circuit and educating myself about the threats of cybersecurity. Last month I had the privilege to participate at the PSA Cybersecurity Congress, a collection of industry experts and integrator executives. The event covered a lot of ground, and although I consider myself up on the times, I was pleasantly shocked with the abundance of new knowledge I took away from it. Here are a few thoughts from my integrator ownership seat and panel moderator perspective.
