“Real words or buzzwords?: NIST declares physical security systems are OT” 

In his column this month, Ray Bernard talks extensively about Eagle Eye Networks as an example of “cyber aware application of IT.”

It all started in the early 1990s with the introduction of computer software and networking in physical security systems. In 2005, the federal government began classifying physical security systems as IT systems.

The Security Industry Association’s Quarterly Technology Update (QTU) of June 2005 stated, “A key concept of this QTU is that U.S. Government automated security, access control and digital video systems are now considered Information Technology (IT) systems, and as such, all of the protections and design criteria applicable to IT systems in the Federal space will be applicable to these systems.”

Eagle Eye Networks

Since 2012, Eagle Eye Networks has provided smart cloud surveillance solutions, leveraging AI to drive natural language search, automation, and more. Eagle Eye’s camera-agnostic approach heightens security while saving money, time, and resources.
