The goal of several startups in the video surveillance and analytics segment revolves around reinventing how security personnel and safety resources are allocated in the public safety and corporate security industry. 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." Read the complete article from A&S.

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.

In fact, SIs are an integral part of their sales channel. This is especially because, at the end of the day, analytics need to work with other security solutions, and going through SIs allows these companies to enter an existing ecosystem.
