Thursday, February 19, 2009

Rob Zivney, vice president of marketing at Hirsch Electronics, provider of security management solutions, will moderate a panel of security experts at the upcoming TechSec Solutions conference being held Feb. 23-25, at the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas. The session is scheduled for Wednesday, February 25, at 4:00 p.m. and is entitled “Where Will Standards Take Us?” 



“As an industry, security has moved quickly from a lack of standards to a plethora of standards,” said Mr. Zivney. “These standards are not being driven by manufacturers, but by our customers, the end-users, and particularly those with IT backgrounds, that demand standards. Companies that embrace standards as mandates for developing solutions will lead the industry, and those that do not will fall behind.”



The panel will offer insight into the emerging standards driving security development and the importance of interoperability and standards as facilitators of logical and physical security convergence.

The panelists include:

  • Jonas Andersson, chairman, Open Network Video Interface Forum, business development director, Axis Communications
  • Rob Hile, vice president business development, Adesta; President, PSIA; Director, SIA
  • R. Hunter Knight, president, Integrated Command Software
