Firm reports growing demand for access control and video as a service

Internet protocol-based security systems company Genetec is reporting growing interest in its Internet of Things (IoT) platform for access control and video as a service (ACaaS and VaaS) offerings in the sub-Saharan Africa region, says Genetec Africa regional sales manager Brent Cary. The cybersecurity protection afforded by such unified Internet protocol security solutions is a key aspect of the new business queries, as small and medium-sized enterprises aim to increase their defence against and reduce their vulnerability to cyberthreats, he adds.
