On Friday, Aug. 26, SDM will be tweeting live with Alex Dunn, COO at Vivint, Provo, Utah. Formerly APX Alarm, the company has rebranded and expanded its offerings in the residential space, all the while seeing astounding growth and earning the No. 4 spot on the 2011 SDM 100.
Today at SecurityXchange in Park City, Utah, I had the chance to sit down with Matt Spencer, SecurityXchange’s founder and the chief operating officer of VerticalXchange, SecurityXchange’s parent company. We had a chance to discuss the event and its 10-year anniversary this year.
Today at SecurityXchange in Park City, Utah, I participated as a guest guide at the event. Throughout the day, integrators, manufacturers, and end users hold meetings in the manufacturers’/service providers’ suites throughout the property, and guides are responsible for escorting the integrators and end users from meeting to meeting and keeping them on time.
This week I am in picturesque Park City, Utah for the annual event, SecurityXchange, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. When traveling to industry events, it is always interesting to see who ends up driving you to your event. This trip I had the pleasure of making the hour drive from the Salt Lake City International Airport with a driver who had a bone to pick with me about a new security system being implemented at the Salt Lake City International Airport.
Professional networking has long been a key component of doing business in security. Today, social and professional networking websites spring up and gain worldwide popularity seemingly overnight, and it’s necessary to build strong networks that effectively use resources such as Twitter or LinkedIn. Add to that the fact that the face of the security is changing, and it’s now more important than ever to create these supportive networks. Enter: the Women’s Security Council (WSC).
On behalf of the entire SDM team, congratulations to three great women in security who, this past weekend, completed the 2011 Boston Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure — Holly Tsourides, vice president, Worldwide Sales, VideoIQ; Laurie Aaron, vice president, Government & Alliances, Quantum Secure; and Tracy Larson, president, WeSuite.
So a few hours after posting my blog entry on the RMR potential of identity theft protection services and the sobering new research numbers showing a massive escalation in breached personal data, I walked out to my mailbox and got a little reminder of the incidental, randomness of life.
Right now, I am researching and writing the September cover story for SDM on new, even surprising, RMR opportunities in the industry. There are definitely a lot of viable, valuable opportunities. Today I saw some research numbers that were both sobering and supportive of an RMR opportunity I’ve frequently heard about while researching RMR opportunities: identity protection.
