Designing the Future of Security | Technology Security by Design

Live Session

Technology security works best when it's designed as one integrated system, not a collection of standalone devices.

We’re excited to continue our security webinar series in partnership with Secure Building Council.

Join Ibrahim Alkurdi, BIM Designer at 4Liberty, and guest Jeremy Fromm, Director at Mercury, as they discuss why access control, surveillance, and supporting infrastructure must be planned together to better protect both physical and digital environments, and how device-first approaches often create avoidable gaps.

This is session two of a four-part series aligned to the SBC's four pillars.
