New version of Security Center
With a shift toward a continuous delivery approach, the new version of Security Center marks a new era in the way customers can stay up to date with the platform’s latest features and updates. Some of Security Center’s latest features include new mapping functionalities that provide a smoother experience for operators, particularly in large city-wide or multi-site deployments; new configuration enhancements for authentication services including a new configuration wizard that walks users through the set-up process; and advanced workflow activities, allowing operators to concentrate on tasks that need their attention.
Hybrid cloud solutions gain momentum
Over the next year, the physical security industry will see a large increase in hybrid cloud adoption in medium and large enterprises across the Middle East. Recent research of over 5,500 physical security professionals conducted by Genetec found that 44% of organizations already have over a quarter of their physical security deployment in a cloud or hybrid-cloud environment. And 60% of organizations say they prefer hybrid cloud as a long-term strategy.
As cloud adoption rises, there will be growing interest in new plug-and-play, cloud-ready appliances. They not only streamline access to cloud services but also enhance computing power at the edge.
Axis Powered by Genetec
Addressing these shifts, Genetec will showcase a range of cloud-ready solutions, including Axis Powered by Genetec, the industry’s first enterprise-level access control offering that combines Genetec access control software with Axis network door controllers in a single easy-to-deploy all-in-one offering. Designed to work on-premises or in cloud or hybrid cloud environments, Axis Powered by Genetec includes advanced access control features that are continuously updated with the newest improvements and cybersecurity enhancements.
