eBook - The Double-Edged Sword: AI as Threat and Shield for Physical Security

AI has permanently changed the threat landscape for physical security. The same technology enabling smarter detection and automation is also being weaponized to attack the devices your organization depends on faster than ever before.

This ebook breaks down both sides of the equation and what physical security leaders need to do about it.

What's inside:

  • Why AI eliminated the barriers that once made physical security devices low-priority targets — and what that means for your exposure today.
  • How AI-powered attacks are generating working exploits in minutes, with mean time-to-exploit now turning negative in 2025.
  • The five critical questions most physical security teams can't answer — and why the inability to answer them is now an operational liability.
  • Why device lifecycle visibility, firmware currency, and credential posture have shifted from maintenance issues to security prerequisites.
  • How automation and agentic capabilities let teams fight machine-scale threats without adding headcount or manual overhead

Who should download this:

If you're a physical security director, security operations manager, or IT leader responsible for managing connected devices across your enterprise, this ebook gives you the threat context and the operational framework to close the gaps before they become incidents.
