As the workplace continues to evolve, so does the need for vigorous physical security systems that go beyond more traditional methods, like security guards and sign-in sheets. According to Keypoint Intelligence’s research, 21% of resellers recognize physical security products as a major revenue opportunity, surpassing traditional print services. Among these advancements, proximity cards have gained popularity for their two-fold functionality. Not only do they grant secure access to buildings, but they also control and monitor MFPs equipped with compatible card readers, enhancing workplace efficiency and security.

 

In addition, artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized video surveillance, offering cutting-edge capabilities like object detection, facial recognition, and behavioral analysis. These features enable proactive threat detection and streamline security operations. Furthermore, wireless technology eliminates the need for clunky installation processes in alarm systems, reducing costs and increasing ease of operation for businesses.

 

 

Keypoint Intelligence Opinion

Advancements in physical security demonstrate how technology continues to transform the modern workplace. By integrating AI-driven surveillance, wireless systems, and multifunctional tools like proximity cards, businesses can enhance safety, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency. Investing in these solutions is not only about protecting your business’ assets—it's about providing future proofed security in the tangible workplace.
