In this free preview of the Access Control Executive Brief 94, Lee Odess explores how the physical security industry stands at a critical inflection point. Explore how digital transformation has completely changed the lens through which we must view security challenges.

Just like a kaleidoscope creates entirely new patterns with the slightest rotation, our industry is experiencing a fundamental shift. We're moving from traditional access control focused solely on keeping bad people out, to a "Utility+" model that also drives operational efficiency and revenue generation.

Key topics covered:

• Why separating cybersecurity and physical security no longer makes sense
• How access control is evolving from a $10B to a $100B market opportunity
• The era of "Utility+" - when security transforms from cost center to strategic business enabler
• Why industry-wide collaboration and open standards are essential
• How we can collectively shape this new paradigm together
