This whitepaper explores the security challenges associated with the growing prevalence of the flexible working model and highlights the opportunities for the physical security professional looking to unlock powerful business and security insights derived from surveillance data.
As businesses adapt to the post-Covid era by offering employees greater freedom in when and where they work, security professionals need to respond and keep pace with these dynamic, more fluid working patterns. As demand for flexibility grows, the need to monitor and protect premises and people becomes ever more complex leading to a greater reliance on technology, automation and AI.
Not only do facilities, HR, security and office managers need to adapt to the regular coming and going of employees, but there is also a palpable upturn in the co-work space, a third dimension that sits between the office and the home-work set up. With health security a key concern, it is increasingly cloud physical security systems that will unlock critical insights to support business decision making based on intelligence derived from video surveillance as-a-service (VSaaS) and access control as-a-service (ACaaS).
VSaaS and ACaaS are on-demand solutions that are disrupting the security market. An independent survey of 1000 IT decision makers conducted by Morphean* found that demand for such solutions across Europe is high. Of those considering VSaaS and ACaaS, 79% anticipated introducing these solutions to their business within 12 months.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the working world for many, opening up new possibilities around when and where they work. Using access control and video surveillance data, from cloud physical security solutions such as VSaaS and ACaaS, behaviours and usage patterns can be analysed and relevant changes implemented. There is a great opportunity here for the security professional to support a business model that represents the future.”
