10.10 – 11.00 “Integration in an Industry of interoperability” – Brenda Koesterman –
For more than a decade, the security industry has boasted that integration is the key to success. While this is a well-discussed topic, as an industry we cannot seem to move ourselves past “Interoperability” rather than true integration. Brenda Koesterman will speak on the difference between interoperability and integration, why integration is important and discuss the obstacles in place that are preventing Integration as an industry whole. Some organisations have achieved higher levels of integration than others and what key indicators that show how to identify these organisations will be discussed.
11.00 – 11.50 “Innovation, Integration and Interoperability at Microsoft” – Mark Abbot
Microsoft is a large enterprise with sites that span the globe. The processes of providing and monitoring access to physical sites and responding to events were cumbersome and costly in the past. Seeking to improve its global physical security operations, Microsoft has incorporated information technology into its strategy for physical security with compelling results. The presentation will look to provide an overview of the previous environment, the strategies and the systems which have been deployed to enable the build out of its global security architecture.
