In the global video analytics market, forecasted to reach <\/span>$14.65 billion in 2026<\/span>, the \u201cedge-based\u201d segment is now the fastest-growing deployment type, outpacing traditional centralized software models.<\/span><\/p>\n

For security integrators, it is clear that the shift towards video cameras becoming powerful artificial intelligence-enabled edge computing devices isn\u2019t slowing down and this technology collects significantly more data than video images alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since these high-powered devices sit exposed on the physical perimeter but connect directly to the network, they represent a dangerous new frontier for cyber vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

To protect modern devices and proactively address these challenges, systems integrators and security leaders can no longer treat physical security and cybersecurity as two separate entities. Their approach must merge into a unified strategy to secure the devices on their networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Security Convergence Begins in the Supply Chain\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Cybersecurity for physical devices must start long before a camera ever connects to a network. It begins in the supply chain with how hardware components are sourced and how protections are engineered into the product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Organizations need verifiable audit trails for all components alongside physical, tamper-proof seals. This creates a continuous chain of trust, ensuring devices haven\u2019t been intercepted or injected with dormant sleeping viruses or compromised firmware before they arrive at the installation site.<\/span><\/p>\n

AI at the Edge Demands IT-Grade Guardrails\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Putting AI at the edge requires significant compute power to be placed directly onto field devices, meaning physical security tech now holds capabilities comparable to server-grade machines.<\/span><\/p>\n

As AI capabilities, including emerging generative AI techniques, moves to the edge, strict guardrails must be built directly into the development process to prevent adversarial manipulation, including prompt injection or models performing…<\/span><\/p>\n
