Here we present views from some of the popular startups on how they see their role in the security sector.

Davista
​Scott Sieracki, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Davista explained that his company's flagship solution, Heimdall, combines multiple data sources and uses predictive and prescriptive analytics and artificial intelligence to inform and dynamically deploy physical security personnel, assets, and technologies.

"This approach allows security and law enforcement teams to automate their processes and maximize their teams' effectiveness, optimize patrols and guard tours, and increase proactive capabilities," Sieracki said. "Our platform automatically deciphers and operationalizes multi-source past, present, and future data and provides our customers the ability to perform both long-term strategic planning and day-to-day operational decision making. Additionally, customizable data visualization and reporting tools enable pattern and trend detection that empowers customers to take prescriptive action."

Sieracki added that his goal is to help security leaders and law enforcement personnel be more effective and efficient by providing intelligent data points and automating daily operational activities using artificial intelligence.

"With Heimdall, our customers have achieved significant awareness levels when responding to an incident and an overall reduction in risk and incidence levels, resulting in increased organizational security focus, efficiency, performance, and safety," Sieracki continued. "Agencies have also experienced considerable time savings because officers can be directed to the areas that systems see as most problematic at that given time. The Heimdall platform automatically adjusts patrol or security strategy based on newly detected and emerging hot spots or potential risks."

Since the virus can be transmitted through close proximity to affected individuals, public health officials have identified social distancing as a proactive approach to help contain its spread. When combined with the ability to identify individuals who may be infected with COVID-19 and who they were in direct contact with, AI-driven technology can help organizations react proactively if an outbreak occurs.

As the number of cloud-powered systems and sensors have massively grown in recent years, security leaders in the private and public sectors have started to look at ways to leverage the data from these devices to better the lives of employees, customers, and residents.


But while the dream of creating a smarter, safer environment remains the top priority for organizations throughout the world especially as they continue to face the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic, a myriad of factors hold security leaders back from implementing more advanced technologies across their infrastructures.

​
The terms artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have almost become synonymous in today’s security industry with intelligent video analysis solutions. However, while many of these technologies are relegated to deriving some type of actionable data from a camera feed, few have tried to apply that to the entirety of an organization’s security operations. That is the goal of Davista, which has developed an AI platform that is designed to key in on the data generated by a multitude of security devices and systems.

The event provided us with time to give details on our company and our approach to technology. We also discussed the overall challenges we see within the market, which dovetailed into what we can do as an industry to help solve these problems.
 
The current challenge is significant: trying to answer numerous questions using the data generated by various systems and technologies. How can security leaders handle the influx of information that all these disparate systems generate? How can it be analyzed to extract any useful information or insight? What IT security controls are put in place to safeguard the data? How can the data be effectively curated and funneled to the right people at the right time? How can we make our security footprint more proactive rather than always reactive? 
 
We believe that using artificial intelligence and visual data analytics can help provide real-time information to cull through this data and increase security and safety. AI is driving a sea change in the physical security industry, and adoption is growing rapidly. And this is data AI, which is entirely untapped by the security industry. By combining data sources and using predictive visual analytics to automatically funnel the data leaders need to allocate personnel, assets, and technologies in the right way and at the right time, stakeholders can realize intelligent data-driven asset management and resource allocation.

The solution is designed to help businesses, organizations, and government agencies ensure social distancing efforts to keep individuals safe while promoting a healthy return-to-work.

Across the globe, governments, corporate entities, and health and law enforcement agencies are working to find solutions to COVID-19 while making strides to get their local economies back up and running. Since the virus can be transmitted through close proximity to affected individuals, public health officials have identified social distancing as a proactive approach to help contain its spread. When combined with the ability to identify individuals who may be infected with COVID-19 and who they were in direct contact with, AI-driven technology can help organizations react proactively if an outbreak occurs.

Based on Davista’s flagship Heimdall platform, the social distancing platform is based on Bluetooth and GPS technologies and manages the process of identifying individuals who come in contact with individuals who may be infected. Heimdall is designed to help organizations proactively identify threats, find strategies to combat them and identify potential trends to identify based on their specific environment. The customizable platform combines a multitude of data sources and uses predictive intelligence to best deploy physical security or law enforcement personnel, assets and technologies. It can be configured to address evolving risks and security and compliance requirements, and easily add new configurations to support applications like the social distancing platform.

Employees running the Heimdall Social Distancing app on their smart devices will receive alerts when they come close to other employees. The system will also enable employers to trace, monitor, and manage their organizations overall social distancing environment. The AI engine can be configured to automatically record the user's location as well as the user’s “bread crumb” trail for proactive risk mitigation strategies. If an individual exhibits COVID-19 symptoms, organizations can quickly find and isolate the correct employee, map the user’s trail via their mobile device and identify who they came in contact with.

"Davista is committed to helping organizations across the globe gain access to the technical tools required to help combat the virus and ensure streamlined health monitoring to support the re-opening process," said Scott Sieracki, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer,, Davista. "Our team believes there has never been a more important moment to engineer solutions to solve this challenging process. Through close cooperation and collaboration with our customers, we look to harness technology's power to slow the spread of COVID-19 and accelerate the return to everyday life."

Drawing on its years of experience in the engineering of AI-enabled solutions, Davista can automate the process of social distancing and security leaders and law enforcement help identify people potentially at risk through:
  • Geo- and Bluetooth-enabled Tracing
    Built upon the latest technology protocols, Heimdall utilizes both geo-location aware and Bluetooth based technology for enhanced contact tracing and can leverage a customer’s wireless access points (WAP) and other technologies for optimal location awareness.
  • Automated Stakeholder Alerts
    Stakeholders receive automated alerts based upon predefined conditions informing them of what they need to know and when they need to know it.
  • n-th Degree Contact Tracing
    Quickly locate people who contact potential COVID-19 individuals by using advanced filtering options and contact link visualizations.
  • Privacy-preserving Data Collection
    Quickly deploy in a building, campus, or agency-wide setting and employ Heimdall's geofencing and data anonymization techniques for privacy preservation.
