Smart cities tech runs the gamut from policing tools and transit sensors to educational software and more. But the tech routinely hoovers up sensitive data on city residents, including their movements and audio, video, and biometric data—even before cities know what to do with the data, and even though they may never know what to with it.

For security professionals, the control room is the heartbeat of their operation. A control room with the right design and equipment can contribute to the success of a security team, and ultimately, the safety of others. 

With the accelerated growth of cloud-based hosting and data mining, it’s no surprise that the demand for bigger, better, and more efficient data centers has also increased exponentially during the past decade.

Cities and municipalities are leveraging artificial intelligence-enabled analytics to produce deeper insights to promote safety and efficiency.

Smart public safety includes the partnerships built by Community-Oriented Policing and requires them to go a step further by incorporating the Enterprise of Things.

A communications strategy incorporating modernized offerings can help security teams oversee a situation and engage with and direct the full spectrum of a hospital's response with actionable insights.

As metaverse technologies begin to be introduced to businesses, we are seeing the promise of augmented reality, virtual reality, and specifically the technology of digital twins.
