Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing physical security, and this episode explores what that shift really means for security leaders and organizations. Garrett Thomas and Terry MacAdam discuss how AI is helping move the industry beyond traditional incident response and toward predictive risk management, where unusual behavior can be identified earlier, security resources can be deployed based on real-time risk, and losses can be reduced through earlier intervention.

The conversation also looks at how cameras, access control, visitor management, drones, and sensors are increasingly working together on more intelligent platforms to create a clearer operational picture and support faster, more accurate decision making. From healthcare and utilities to transportation, schools, and commercial properties, AI-assisted monitoring is becoming a growing part of modern security management. If you want a practical look at where physical security is headed next, listen now.

Hi and welcome to the Guardian Way.

2

Today's episode, episode 137 continues

on our focus about AI

3

and security management at 10:00 September

3rd, Guardian Protection Force

4

is hosting a no cost webinar

for everybody to join in

5

and get a little bit more clarity

and understanding about the impacts of AI.

6

You can certainly go on

7

to the Guardian Protection Force website

and sign up for it right there.

8

So our co-host and producer

for our entire series, of course,

9

is the founder of Guardian Protection

Force, Garrett Thomas.

10

Hey, good morning Garrett.

11

Good morning.

12

Yeah.

13

This is one of those topics

AI that I know.

14

It's, you know, up on your

your news feed and everything else.

15

Sometimes it's scary,

sometimes it's great.

16

But we're talking about how it affects

the security industry.

17

Well,

this is going to be a really good episode

18

because this is going to talk a little bit

more detail about how AI, as data

19

becomes more available, is going to shift

20

the focus on predictive risk.

21

And so take us through these bullets

and give our audience a little bit better

22

understanding of that whole area around

predictive risk.

23

Yeah.

24

So predictive analytics will replace

traditional patrol strategies.

25

You know this is not something

that's brand new right.

26

We could always look at,

you know, crime maps and different things

27

like this to figure out

where are the hot spots

28

and when are these

these events occurring.

29

But the difference is

this is now readily available

30

for almost everybody

at just a lightning pace.

31

It's just right there.

32

AI will identify unusual behavior

before criminal acts occur.

33

Security resources will be deployed

based on risk rather than fixed schedules.

34

Businesses will reduce losses

through early intervention.

35

And the next point is that it will create

unified security intelligence centers,

36

cameras, access control,

visitor management, drones and sensors

37

will operate on an intelligent platform.

38

Security managers will receive one.

39

Prioritize operational pictures

to have multiple disconnected systems.

40

Decision making will become faster

and more accurate.

41

Taking that human element

out of some things,

42

you can really minimize the the

43

the lack of accuracy.

44

California critical infrastructure

will increase AI adoption, health

45

care facilities,

utilities, transportation, schools

46

and commercial properties

will expand AI assisted monitoring.

47

This is great. Well,

this is going to be a great precursor.

48

And again,

49

we're really encouraging everybody

in our audience to take the hour from 10

50

to 11 and come in and watch this webinar

and participate in it,

51

because I think it's going to give you

some really valuable information.

52

So, Garrett,

53

as we close out

54

this episode, I'd like to have

you take us through

55

some of the Guardian Protection

for Security Solutions and sign us off,

56

and we'll look forward to seeing everybody

on the next episode.

57

Absolutely.

58

So we have our first no fee site

assessment,

59

workplace violence prevention development,

AI camera solutions, garden patrol

60

services, armed unarmed plainclothes

security operations plans

61

and assessments, contentious termination

services and executive protection.

62

Until next time,

stay safe and we'll see you then.
