In an era when there are increasingly sophisticated and complex control systems available, it is very easy to lose sight of the basic facts and, in times of plenty there were the budgets available to invest in advances systems and maintenance. But in today’s more restrained times, every investment is likely to be scrutinized far more closely and so it is essential to build a strong case from the ground up. So the question is posed: Is the future of commercial building security built in, or bolted on to ensure the safety of people and protection of intellectual and physical property? ‘essential to build a strong case’ The answers are complex and challenging but the issue is one of real importance and by producing its discussion paper at IFSEC Global.com, ASSA ABLOY wishes to stimulate debate and encourage views and contributions from many voices.
