“ # VR  is better at getting rid of pain more than morphine is.” More about this tech therapy Big news this week, as Cisco announces its intent to acquire AppDynamics. Also, we explored how IoT can team up with pigeons to fight air pollution, how IoT is becoming the new normal, and how the new Spark Board will change everything with conferencing!

Security will be a huge trend in 2017, following a number of high-profile cyber-attacks and hacks last year. With surveillance security continuing to develop as a result of breakthroughs in big data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning, a number of surveillance specific security trends will also drive innovation and investments within the industry during 2017.
The first of these is cybersecurity because IoT is culminating in hundreds of millions of internet-connected devices the likes of fridges, DVRs and security cameras, becoming possible targets by hackers. Axis has always taken its customers’ security seriously, but we will hopefully see 2017 as the year when all manufacturers make this a priority. The biggest challenge we see with cyber security is to find the right balance between secure devices/systems and complexity/ease of use. We will continue to strengthen our existing offerings and make it easier for our customers to keep their networks and devices secure.
Security as a service is another big trend as we expect customers to start viewing their security as a service – with remote and professionally hosted solutions as well as monitoring of video transmitted from the customer’s site. This will not only free up internal resources, which could be better focused elsewhere, but also improve the service levels, enable better device-management, and strengthen cyber security.
Better integration & analysis of video
Adding to the reduction in complexity and freeing up of resources is the trend of offering integrated solutions. Customers aren’t looking to buy hardware/software – what they really want is to reduce shoplifting, or make sure only authorised people can access the cash office, or keep track of potential threats in an airport. The convergence of hardware into end-to-end solutions will be able to address specific security problems and these will consist of high-performance cameras, storage and access controls that are all tightly integrated with video management and analytics tools. This approach will be easier for customers to purchase, install and implement, while offering a great return on their investment.
This tighter integration will be one of the factors, spurring on the expanded use of analytics. While high quality video footage is a core feature of modern security cameras, ultimately that information needs to be assessed and analysed, before a decision can be made to respond to its content. The recent advances in camera technologies, such as thermal imaging and enhanced low-light capabilities have been significant steps forward.
However, in the end, they just generate more footage that needs to be watched/reviewed. The security industry has been working hard on video analytics software that can work in real time to help professionals make informed decisions. We expect to see 2017 as the year when these new camera capabilities are combined with real-time analytics, to address several security challenges that includes facial recognition, forensic analysis and perimeter protection.

Technology is driving business strategy as never before, and the competitive landscape is changing with each innovation. Companies need a new approach to IT that can keep pace with the evolution of IoT, automation, augmented reality, virtual reality, massively distributed computing, software analytics — and the vast increases in complexity brought about by these shifts. This week at  Cisco Live in Berlin , I'm meeting with IT professionals from all over the world to talk about how they can future proof their business, build an architecture to handle all this complexity and get ready to innovate. The discussion is focusing on six key imperatives that every company should be thinking about: No. 1: The best digital offense starts with the best security defense. We used to have the illusion that protecting our systems from malware attacks was a finite task. We identified points of entry, locked them down and were done. We thought security was static. Today we know it'...
