Keynote: Three Emerging Technologies and How They are Changing Security
Three nascent technologies - Virtualization, Virtual Worlds and Augmented Reality, and Cloud Computing - are making their way into mainstream computing and promise to change the way we approach Security. What do you need to be aware of as these technologies gain in acceptance and popularity, and how will they affect the way we protect people and property?
Frank Yeh, Jr., Senior Security and Privacy Architect, IBM
Innovation or Confusion? How will High Tech Industries Impact Electronic Security Systems?
The rapid advances in technology can positively or negatively influence you every day as a
physical security professional. This session examines 10 of the most promising technologies
for our industry, such as HD, SaaS, POE, dashboarding, data visualization, GIS and video analytics and outlines examples of how they will impact physical security. The panelists will offer evaluation and decision-making processes to include, ignore, or postpone deployment of new technologies for your electronic security system. The session discusses how, given two functionally equivalent security systems, the simplest one to manage should be chosen.

Bigger Bang for your Buck: Non-Traditional Uses of IP Surveillance
In these uncertain economic times, more than ever before, organizations are looking for a return on investment for their surveillance expenditures. While there have been many attempts to prove the ROI of security based surveillance, this presentation is designed to look at ROI from another perspective. Instead of proving the ROI of security-based surveillance, why not leverage security surveillance infrastructure for non-security applications for which it is much simpler to calculate a clear ROI? These examples include marketing and revenue generation, green initiatives, operations efficiency, and reduced liability and fraudulent insurance claims.

Separating Video Wants From Needs--The Essential Questions
This presentation explores, in detail, the essential questions that the decision maker must answer before contacting anyone--consultant, integrator, or manufacturer--about purchasing a video surveillance system: How will your video system be used? Where do you need surveillance? While it may be nice to have every square foot of your facility covered, can you afford it? What type of video do you need? What is the right technology to use for your application? How can you maximize the investment in your system?
For many PSIM (or physical security information management) remains a nonsense acronym, but the term is rapidly gaining in acceptance to describe software that correlates any number of sensors (cameras, motion detectors, access readers, fire alarms, panic buttons) and presents them in an organized fashion. However, PSIM is more than software--you could say it's a new philosophy of security. This panel discussion will help define PSIM and talk about where the market is heading.

Using Retail Traffic Patterns to Enhance Your Bottom Line
For retailers, the pressure on margins has never been greater. Maximizing revenue per square foot and optimizing in-store marketing tools makes additional dollars flow directly to the bottom line. Previously, the tools used to do this were both labor- and data-intensive, and expensive to deploy, but advances in technology make it possible to use existing video infrastructure to largely automate this process. The use of retail traffic analysis to better understand the customer experience, how customers react to in-store promotions and advertising, and how long shoppers linger in certain areas of retail stores allows retail operations to gain completely new insights into their business performance in close to real-time. Understanding customer behavior patterns helps retailers reduce loss and improve their bottom line.

How Security Systems, Data Centers, SCADA, and data itself are at risk from device born intentional electromagnetic interference
In this session, attendees will get background information on the threat of intentional electromagnetic interference threats against civilian and non-military government facilities, mission critical systems and data assets, hear about the business impact on industry, and discuss remediation strategies. With multi-disciplined expertise and threat testing programs, speakers will also share information from their work with Congress and standards organizations toward remediation of issues these threats represent to various areas of critical infrastructure. One granular example is the effect of these devices upon data, changing the data state, which is a non-network borne cyber attack, as well as a physical threat.

JPEG2000 Compression for HD stream management
Avigilon Control Center with High Definition Stream Management (HDSM) provides progressive compression used in storing and managing image transmission to disk. Within the end-to-end Avigilon HD surveillance system, images are compressed using the industry standard JPEG2000 format. JPEG2000 compression was introduced in 2000 as the evolution of JPEG compression and provides high-resolution compression more efficiently than conventional JPEG/MJPEG while also allowing for progressive decompression. Progressive image decompression is used by HDSM to allow the image data sent to a remote client to be scaled to the resolution required by the client monitor. Scalable transmission and HDSM allow you to efficiently transmit detailed regions of the image to greatly reduce the bandwidth required to view the image as well as the demands on the client workstation to decompress the video.
Video LifeCycle Management, or VLM, recognizes that there is essentially a "time value to video," meaning that video is very valuable in the hours/days surrounding its initial capture, but that the video declines in value over time as it gets older, less relevant, and no untoward events have happened. Eventually, video is discarded as it costs more to retain than it's worth. With this new VLM technology, the video can be increasingly compressed over time as it ages, thereby freeing up massive amounts of storage.
Charles Foley, Chairman and CEO, TimeSight Systems

How the Partnership Between Physical and IT Security Integration Can Benefit the Industry
As security integration becomes more complex and increasingly converges roles traditionally taken on by both physical security and IT departments, it is crucial that physical security integrators and IT integrators partner to deliver in tandem better products and services. A successful partnership benefits everyone from the manufacturer on down to the end user: We'll show you how to make it work.
Bill Bozeman, CEO and president, PSA Security Paul Cronin, Chairman, 1nService
IP cameras that are easy, affordable and effective are available on a subscription basis to the untapped market of SMB's, homeowners and now to those end-users demanding mobile professional surveillance. What will it take for integrators to embrace this opportunity for new customers and increased revenue through recurring monthly revenue? Will IT and cellular companies swoop in and grab market share from the existing security professionals because of their level of comfort with IP technology? Or will the security community step up and reestablish their dominance in the security realm? There is a gap in the market and the question is "who will capture the market in the gap?" Who will be the early adopters of this use of mobile IP technology and who will be the laggards?

Extending Trust and Security to Networked Physical Security
The session will examine pervasive security and the role of existing standards, including those from Trusted Computing Group. Attendees will learn about the role of trust in converged networks and implementing trust. They also will gain an understanding of specifications including the IT industry's leading network access control architecture and the metadata access protocol, which lets many devices communicate so that policies and remedies can be implemented from the door to the employee cubicle to the factory floor.
Robert Beliles, Vice President of Enterprise Business Development, Hirsch Electronics
Perhaps the most hotly debated area of the security industry is that of video analytics, their utility and failings, their implementation and sale. In this roundtable, prominent executives from the leading analytics manufacturers discuss what's fact and what's fiction in their worlds.
