WEBINAR: Physical Security Mid-Year Check-In: How the 2026 Trends Are Holding Up
A Genetec x SecuriThings Webinar
Thursday, July 30th at 1 p.m. ET / noon CT
At the start of 2026, Genetec and SecuriThings each published independent research on the state of enterprise physical security. Neither team was coordinating with the other.
But when you put the findings side by side, they're pointing at the same things:
-
Convergence is real but incomplete
-
Device visibility is still a problem even for organizations that have modernized,
-
Manual overhead is eating time that should be going toward strategic risk management.
Six months on, we want to do something most webinars don't: pressure-test those findings against what's actually happened.
Where are the trends accelerating? Where do they look different in practice than they did on paper? What should security leaders be thinking about for the second half of the year — not based on vendor messaging, but based on data and real-world signals?
This session brings both research teams into the same conversation to find out.
What You’ll Walk Away With
- A mid-year read on which 2026 trends are playing out as expected — and which ones aren't.
- An honest look at where two independent datasets agree, and where they tell different stories.
- A clearer sense of where the visibility and automation gap is heading, and what's moving it.
- Practical context for prioritizing your H2 agenda without the sales pitch.
Who This Is For
This session is built for enterprise physical security leaders who are responsible for managing large-scale device environments, navigating the overlap between physical security and IT, or making the case internally for modernization. If you're the one accountable for keeping hundreds or thousands of cameras, access control systems, and connected devices secure, compliant, and operational, this is for you.
