IDC PlanScape: Integrated Physical Security for Cities

This IDC PlanScape discusses integrated physical security solutions for cities. Integrated physical security solutions provide cities with better, more immediate situational awareness when responding to security incidents. Integrated card access and video surveillance solutions can quickly determine whether an individual captured on CCTV video is the same person associated with the access card."Integrated physical security solutions are rising in importance as malevolent actors, using stolen access cards, can try to enter municipal buildings for nefarious purposes (e.g., theft or bodily harm). Now more than ever, cities need real-time, actionable awareness," said Alison Brooks, Ph.D., research vice president, Worldwide Public Safety, IDC.
