BETHESDA,
Md.,
February
15,
2023 –
Brivo,
a
leading
provider
of
cloud-based
access
control
and
smart
building
technologies,
today
publishes
the
2023
Top
Security
Trends
Report
which
identifies
user
experience
and
convenience
as
rapidly
emerging
drivers
behind
the
adoption
of
new
physical
security
solutions.
Brivo’s
sixth
annual
trends
report
is
based
on
responses
from
677
security
professionals
across
the
world
working
in
over
two
dozen
sectors.
They
pointed
to
growing
expectations
for
frictionless
access
into
workplaces,
as
more
Millennial
and
Gen
Z
cohorts
enter
the
workplace,
and
a
general
rise
in
convenience
as
a
major
consideration
in
physical
security.
Key
findings
that
speak
to
this
trend
include:
-
84%
of
security
professionals
think
user
experience
is
either
extremely
important
or
very
important
to
access
control. -
65%
pointed
to
user
convenience
as
a
benefit
of
mobile
access
control,
speaking
to
the
growing
popularity
of
mobile
devices
as
an
access
credential
over
a
traditional
plastic
FOB. -
Tenant
and
workplace
experience
apps
are
growing
in
popularity,
ranking
as
the
fifth
most
popular
security
system
integration
this
year
–
according
to
the
respondents.
These
apps
give
more
control
to
employees
over
their
office
space
via
mobile-derived
services. -
Security
professionals
listed
remote
door
management,
instantaneous
credential
management
and
outsourcing
oversight
responsibilities
as
applications
for
cloud-based
security
that
make
their
lives
easier
–
highlighting
the
appreciation
that
security
professionals
have
for
convenience
in
their
own
work.
Responses
elsewhere
in
the
report
show
that
data
collection
and
system
integrations
are
business
imperatives
today.
Security
professionals
continue
to
integrate
security
systems
with
cross-functional
areas
but
more
are
using
access
data
to
understand
access
trends
and
space
usage
(45%),
find
and
prioritize
unusual
activity
(42%),
and
give
value
to
other
departments
like
supply
chain,
process,
and
HR
(42%).
This
year’s
report
also
reveals
that
today’s
security
professionals
are
bullish
on
the
potential
of
biometric
access
solutions.
Sixty
percent
want
to
add
biometrics
to
their
buildings
in
the
next
three
years
and,
again,
60%
predict
that
facial
recognition
will
have
the
biggest
impact
in
access
control
technology
over
the
next
three
years.
“The
key
takeaway
from
our
2023
Trends
Report
is
that
user
experience
and
convenience
are
vital
considerations
for
security
professionals
today,
and
this
trend
shows
no
sign
of
slowing
as
more
cohorts
of
Generation
Z
enter
the
workplace
with
expectations
for
technology-enabled
frictionless
access,”
said
Steve
Van
Till,
founder
and
CEO
of
Brivo.
“Cloud-based
access
control
collects
the
most
valuable
data
for
security
professionals
to
make
better
informed
business
decisions.
The
integration
of
access
control
with
other
security
and
proptech
platforms
will
be
essential
in
meeting
stakeholder
expectations
on
convenience
and
delivering
the
next
generation
of
access
solutions.”
Other
interesting
findings
from
Brivo’s
report
include:
-
Respondents
reported
a
surge
in
access
control
integrations.
Integrations
of
identity
and
access
management
solutions
are
most
common
as
more
organizations
pursue
streamlined
operations
by
connecting
physical
and
digital
security
systems
for
added
protection. -
A
lack
of
budget
(39%)
was
most
commonly
cited
as
the
reason
for
not
adopting
cloud-based
access
control
solutions. -
More
organizations
are
looking
to
centralize
their
security
–
with
38%
saying
their
organizations
are
partly
centralized
today,
up
from
31%
in
2022’s
report.
Brivo’s
systems
generate
a
wealth
of
data
for
organizations
to
leverage.
