The future of security is defined by resilience: Cybersecurity at the core of modern surveillanceBy Steven Kenny, Manager, Architect & Engineering (A&E) Program – EMEA at Axis Communications
In today’s volatile landscape, physical security is no longer just about monitoring; it’s a strategic imperative that unites teams and enhances operational awareness. According to the Axis Perspectives Report 2026, organizations in the EMEA region are not just demanding safety and security—they are insisting on it. Video surveillance, a critical component of any security system, is evolving beyond traditional applications to become a cornerstone of enterprise security posture, especially in the Middle East and key sectors such as transportation, smart cities, and critical infrastructure like oil and gas. Increasingly, this expectation is also being driven by regulatory and compliance requirements, not just operational needs.
But here’s the hard truth: video surveillance systems themselves are under siege. They need robust protection against vulnerabilities and emerging threats. Effective programs, stringent policies, and ironclad supply chain guarantees are not optional; they are essential. Just as a video camera in a retail store deters shoplifters, best practices and technology resilience are crucial to protecting the camera from hackers.
