The expanding role of technology in our field necessitates a deeper understanding and greater tech literacy among all security personnel expresses Tyagi
Prof. (Capt.), SB Tyagi, Chief Councillor, ICISSM in his keynote explained a lot about growing technology in security spectrum as far as smart cities are concerned he said
“As we stand on the brink of a new era, the rapid evolution of technology is redefining the very essence of security. The traditional measures we once relied upon are no longer adequate in the face of these dynamic changes. The shelf life of technology is shrinking at an unprecedented rate. From smart televisions to advanced analytics and sophisticated CCTV systems, what was cutting-edge yesterday may be obsolete tomorrow”.
While talking bout the evolving landscape of security in cities he said “It is imperative for security professionals to adapt. The expanding role of technology in our field necessitates a deeper understanding and greater tech literacy among all security personnel. We must integrate these technological advancements into our security protocols to stay ahead of potential threats. Complacency is no longer an option; those who resist change risk becoming the dinosaurs of our industry, facing inevitable extinction”.
“The concept of smart cities epitomises this shift. These urban areas are designed to leverage technology to enhance the quality of life for their inhabitants, but they also present unique security challenges. From interconnected infrastructure to IoT devices, the complexity of protecting these environments requires innovative solutions and proactive strategies”.he added
Tyagi concluded by emphasising on the economic potential of the security industry.
He said “As these cities grow, so does the demand for robust security measures. However, we must be cautious not to overestimate our resources. India’s economic wealth does not always translate proportionally to its security spending capabilities. It is essential to balance our ambitions with practical, sustainable investment in security technologies and training”.
