Operating in the utilities industry can be arduous, from ensuring security operations are meeting industry regulations to finding ways to automate operational tasks and better respond to security incidents to increase operational efficiencies. The industry requires technology that can manage operations under a single, unified platform in order to respond effectively to incidents and
Laws and industry regulations that focus on protecting consumers, markets, and critical infrastructure continue to evolve alongside technology. With the changing regulations, companies in the utilities industry will need to stay on top of the changes and modernize compliance practices accordingly. With the increase of the utility industry becoming increasingly regulated, regulatory agencies oversee
To keep airport employees and passengers safe, airports must comply with strict regulations regarding the credentialing of staff through complex and time-consuming badging processes. This application process can be inefficient, paper-driven, prone to error, and overly complex, so it is beneficial to automate and simplify it. Industry experts from Convergint and Genetec took a closer
Utility providers often struggle with automating operational tasks due to outdated systems. They are desensitized to excessive false alarms, so true mission-critical events sometimes are disregarded as non-critical. Now, with the expansion and adoption of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), utility companies are starting to understand the importance of operational efficiencies while optimizing every aspect
To keep airport employees and passengers safe, airports must comply with strict regulations regarding the credentialing of staff through complex and time-consuming badging processes. All individuals needing access to secure areas of commercial airports must undergo background checks before being granted badges that allow them unescorted access to secure areas.

With increasing amounts of security threats, it can be difficult to identify true mission-critical events. Utilities companies don't have a way to automate operational tasks, so when a real security incident occurs they're desensitized from the high false alarm rates they experience. In addition, with the expansion and adoption of Distributed Energy Resources (DER),
Managing access rights can be challenging without the correct processes in place. Data centers need to know who is in their buildings and for how long. Monitoring temporary access and managing cardholder credentials for employees and visitors can be time consuming and difficult when using a manual approach, leading to inefficiencies and a significant
