FeatureWithin months of the pandemic, businesses were deploying different solutions to track occupancy in their buildings and control social distancing. Almost two years later, this trend is still growing because they are seeing value from the data collected.
Beyond safety objectives, organisations will embrace the use of spatial analytics data to reduce wait times, optimise staff scheduling, and enhance business operations. As businesses give employees the flexibility to split up their work time between the office and home, organisations will be looking for ways to best optimise their workplaces.
By using space utilisation intelligence, they will be able to analyse employee office attendance
By using space utilisation intelligence, they will be able to analyse employee office attendance, monitor meeting room demands, and make informed floorplan changes such as adding more desk-sharing options.
In recent years, demand for video analytics solutions has been strong. However, because complex video analytics still require very powerful servers for adequate data processing, deploying analytics at an enterprise level isn’t always practical.
Video analytics requires powerful servers for adequate data processing
As we move into 2022, we believe video analytics applications will mature in ways that make them easier and more economical to deploy at scale. This evolution will be made possible by vendors who focus on hardware resource efficiency and offer more granular controls for running analytics at certain intervals or schedules, instead of continuously.
A report by Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that global crime costs will reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. With a growth rate of 15% per year, this cost is said to represent the greatest transfer of economic wealth in history.

All of this will usher in an entirely new model for cybersecurity that relies on continuous verification rather than just hardening networks and systems. Decision makers will need to implement more offensive cybersecurity strategies and choose partners who offer higher levels of automation to stay on top of potential threats.
As more businesses take a step towards trialling cloud applications, they will quickly understand the benefits of hybrid cloud, which will produce even greater forward momentum in the adoption of cloud technologies in the new year.

This could include implementing a digital evidence management system to speed up video and data sharing between different departments during investigations, deploying a cloud video management system to secure a high-risk remote location, or installing a physical identity access management PIAM solution to better manage access rights for all employees.
Forward thinking security leaders and their organisations will think less about how a product capability is delivered, and more about how and where they will employ this technology to improve and strengthen their security and data insights in 2022 and beyond.
