Managing technology risks for effective estate security

June 2017 News & Events, Training & Education

Hi-Tech Security Solutions in association with Rob Anderson is hosting the Residential Estate Security Conference 2017 on the 15th of August 2017 at the Indaba Hotel in Fourways, Johannesburg.

Security is all about mitigating risk and the main risk mitigation tools in estates are technology-based. Today’s technical solutions not only provide better security, but can also, if planned correctly, save money.

But what about six months or a year after the installation? What risk management processes do you have in place to ensure your security technology is running optimally and delivering the services you require all the time?

Are the systems being regularly assessed and evaluated according to a plan?

What are the typical risks lurking in the technology that should be evaluated, measured and maintained for enduring security?

The Residential Estate Security Conference 2017 will have a closer look at a few of these lurking risks that can take a well-designed and functional solution and turn it into an underperforming and inherently insecure risk, and from there on advise on how to extract maximum value and longevity from your security investment.
