Editor Introduction
The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized many industries, including physical security. By connecting physical devices to the internet, IoT technology offers significant enhancements to security systems. Benefits include real-time monitoring, remote access, and the utility of new devices such as temperature and humidity sensors. At the same time, IoT devices come with challenges, including greater cybersecurity vulnerability. We asked this week’s Expert Panel Roundtable: How is the Internet of Things (IoT) impacting the physical security marketplace?
