Physical Security .

[ 00 / the situation ]

The physical security industry got connected without quite meaning to. Cameras moved from coax to IP. Access control moved from local panels to cloud-managed. Alarm systems started phoning home over LTE and broadband instead of POTS lines. The systems got more capable and more flexible. The reality underneath: every device is now an IoT endpoint, and most of them weren’t designed for the threat model they’re now exposed to.

Manufacturers are facing real scrutiny from procurement teams, insurers, and (increasingly) regulators about the security posture of the devices they ship. Integrators and operators inherit whatever the devices do — including the default credentials, the unpatched firmware, and the management interfaces that didn’t get put behind anything. Building owners discover that their access-control system shares a network with the finance team and that nobody has audited what’s reachable from where.

We work this space because we know it. Our team has designed, deployed, and operated physical security infrastructure at scale, and we’ve been on both sides of the device security conversation: the integrator who has to make hundreds of cameras secure in a customer environment, and the manufacturer whose product team needs an honest review before shipping the next firmware.

[ 01 / what we run for organizations in this space ]

• Grid — managed security and network operations for the blended IT / physical-security environments most of you actually run. Built to be partner-resellable: a physical security integrator can offer Grid alongside an existing alarm or access-control contract, with near-zero technical lift to add it to a customer’s stack. Channel enablement comes with the engagement — we’ll train your sales team to talk cyber and your techs to handle the handoff conversations.
• Consulting — security posture review for your deployed infrastructure, vendor and device evaluation, segmentation planning, and the procurement conversation about what not to buy.
• Professional Services — design, deployment, hardening, and ongoing operational support for physical security systems. The engineering work, not just the strategy.
• Device security review for manufacturers — specialized firmware, hardware, API, and protocol-level security assessment for organizations building physical security products. Authenticated testing, supply-chain analysis, secure-by-design review, and the pre-launch second opinion that catches the embarrassing bug before the trade press finds it. This is the engagement to scope a conversation around if you make the products the rest of the page is talking about.
• Cyber education for the physical security workforce — workshops and conference sessions built for the audience whose primary trade is physical and whose cyber exposure has been growing underneath them. “How to sound cyber-competent in the field” tracks for installers and sales teams. “Cyber for physical security pros” deep-dives for technicians and integrators. We present this content at ISC East and ISC West annually; we’ll bring it to your event, your sales kickoff, or your installer cohort. See Speaking & Training for the broader catalog.

[ 02 / who we work with ]

• Alarm, access-control, and surveillance integrators
• Specialized installation networks — locksmith, smart-home, and commercial security installers
• Physical security device manufacturers — IP camera, IoT sensor, access reader, panel, and cloud-control providers
• Building owners and facility teams running mixed IT / physical-security environments
• Property managers and real-estate operators whose physical security and tenant networks meet each other in places they shouldn’t
