Key takeaways
Massive volumes of facility monitoring data are only valuable when transformed into actionable, meaningful insights.
Privacy protections and data governance must be built into facility data strategies from the outset.
Organizations need clear frameworks to manage, interpret, and act on data collected from building and facility environments.
One of the many topics of ISC West 2024 was how the industry could overcome the strategic challenge of managing and safeguarding the massive amounts of data collected from facility monitoring devices. Cathal Walsh, the Vice President and Chief Security Officer at Guidepost Solutions, engages deeply with this issue and offered insights on refining data relevance and maintaining privacy during a recent Experts Talk conversation on balancing physical and digital technology in security.
"So there's certainly a lot of challenges in trying to make the data more meaningful for the client and the customer and to be able to zone in and specify exactly what that data is, why we want to keep it, what's the business purpose for keeping it, and how long it needs to be maintained," Walsh said.
