Sessions
AI and Physical Security: Fundamentals, Applications and the Future
3:00pm–3:45pm
From sensors to physical security information management, artificial intelligence (AI) is permeating every aspect of physical security; however, AI is still viewed as esoteric, prohibiting its full exploitation by security practitioners in the field. In this presentation, an overview of AI as it pertains to physical security will be analyzed with in-depth coverage of elements such as machine learning, deep learning, and sensor fusion, in a way that is easily applicable for security practitioners in the field. In addition, the application of AI to optimize probability of detection, nuisance alarm rates, and total cost of ownership via scalable, ubiquitous sensing will be described via representative examples of optical fiber sensing, video analytics and face recognition, as they are deployed in the field.
Standards, Requirements and Resources for Modernizing Physical Access Control Systems
11:15am–12:00pm
In this session, experts from government agencies and the security industry will share the lessons learned in their efforts to modernize physical access control systems. The security industry fulfills a crucial role in cybersecurity and national security by providing the systems that manage credentials for federal workers and contractors and control access to federal facilities and computer networks; however, continuing use of low-assurance, legacy mechanisms leave significant risks unaddressed. This panel will examine ways agencies are seeking to modernize their physical access control systems with equipment and software meeting current federal standards and the related polices and funding mechanisms necessary to support these efforts.
