In the world of cybersecurity, ethical hacking proactively identifies security vulnerabilities before malicious actors (i.e., unethical hackers) can exploit them. By simulating real-world attacks, organisations can strengthen defences, protect sensitive data, and maintain public trust. In the physical security world, ethical hacking can transform cybersecurity of security systems from a reactive struggle into a strategic safeguard. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: What is the role of ethical hacking as it relates to physical security?

Next-generation (Next-Gen) technologies are products, services, or infrastructures that represent a significant leap forward rather than a small, incremental update. In the physical security industry, NextGen products are those that enable disruptive change, breakthrough performance, and a fundamental change that renders previous products obsolete. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: What is the next generation of physical security solutions, and how will they change the industry?

Emphasising proactive rather than reactive security shifts the focus from dealing with crises and damage control to prevention. Advantages of a proactive approach include cost efficiency, better business continuity, and fewer crises that draw attention away from strategic improvements. Staying ahead of threats is a core mission of the security department, and technology has evolved to enable security professionals to deliver on that mission better than ever. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: How are security systems transitioning from reactive to proactive, and what is the benefit?

Multiple technology trends are transforming the physical access control market. There is a fundamental shift away from physical cards and keys toward digital identities — mobile credentials, digital wallets, biometrics, and cloud-native access platforms. These next generation access solutions are radically reshaping how buildings operate, protect staff, and perform functionally. At the same time, AI and analytics solutions are being layered onto these physical access control systems to support predictive threat detection and behavioural insights. Access data itself is becoming an asset for sustainability, space optimisation, and smart building initiatives. Risk, impact operations and experience The annual HID Global Security and Identity Trends Report highlights these and other issues The annual HID Global Security and Identity Trends Report highlights these and other issues. The survey cites improving user convenience as a priority for nearly half of organisations, while 41% are focused on simplifying administration, and 28% struggle with system integration. These are not theoretical challenges, they are day‑to‑day friction points that add cost, increase risk, impact operations and experience, and, of course, must be addressed. HID Global’s commercial focus HID Global’s commercial focus is to help organisations digitise their access control — with mobile identities, biometrics, and cloud platforms — and then to use the data to deliver more value. “We are turning access control from an operational cost into a software-driven asset that improves efficiency, supports Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals and even creates new revenue opportunities,” says Steven Commander, HID Global’s Head of Consultant Relations. The impact of digital transformation Digital transformation is the method of moving access control from hardware and physical credentials Digital transformation is in the process of moving access control from hardware and physical credentials to a software-driven, integrated experience. The transformation strengthens security while also improving user convenience — transforming the “pavement to the desk” journey. HID enables this shift through mobile credentials, biometrics, cloud-native platforms, and solutions that allow third-party applications to run on door hardware. “This helps customers turn access data into operational and commercial outcomes, while also improving the overall user experience,” says Commander.  Digital transformation in access control is not focused on chasing the latest trends. Rather, transformation is about turning software, data and integration into outcomes that matter to customers, says HID. “Security becomes stronger and more adaptive,” says Commander. “Operations become simpler and more cost‑effective. Experiences become seamless and consistent. Sustainability moves from ambition to action. And the financial case becomes clearer as efficiencies are banked and new value streams emerge.” The challenge of futureproofing with long lifecycles Given that physical security technologies will be in place for 15 to 20 years, it is important to plan for how systems can evolve over time. Considering how rapidly security threats, compliance standards, and user expectations change, 15 to 20 years is a long time. The decisions made at the beginning of a system’s lifecycle can either limit flexibility later (which will be costly) or enable long-term adaptability. Support for open standards such as Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) is therefore important Choosing products and platforms that are open, interoperable, and designed for updates can enable future-proof projects. Support for open standards such as Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) is therefore important.  In addition, systems built on open controller platforms — such as Mercury — enable organisations to switch software providers or expand functionality without replacing core door hardware. Architectural openness is key to system lifecycles and maximising the return on investment (ROI) from a chosen solution. Digital credentials and mobile access Flexibility and upgradeability should also be top of mind when it comes to endpoints like access control readers. While RFID cards are still commonplace, there is a clear trend toward digital credentials and mobile access. Readers that support both allow organisations to transition at their own pace, without committing to a full system overhaul. A long system lifecycle does not mean technology should remain static. Security, particularly cybersecurity, demands more frequent updates. Technologies that support firmware upgrades in the field extend the value of a deployment while helping organisations keep pace with emerging threats. In that sense, lifecycle thinking is not just about longevity — it’s about maintaining resilience and readiness over time. Applying biometrics and mobile identities Biometrics is becoming mainstream as a credential alternative, strengthening security without adding friction Biometrics is becoming mainstream as a credential alternative, strengthening security without adding friction. Many organisations are now deploying biometrics to support fast, seamless access journeys, with adoption already around 39% in access control according to HID’s recent research.  In addition, 80% of organisations surveyed expect to deploy mobile identities within the next five years. Full technology integration enables tap‑to‑access without opening an app; the user journey becomes faster, safer, and more convenient. “It is where the industry is headed and we are at the vanguard of this,” says Commander.    Ongoing challenge of cybersecurity At HID Global, cybersecurity is embedded into everything, from corporate processes and development practices to the solutions they bring to market. “Our approach ensures that customers can strengthen their overall security posture, not only by deploying secure products but by benefitting from HID’s commitment to the highest industry standards,” says Commander. HID holds multiple globally recognised certifications, including ISO 27001, ISO 14298, SOC Type 2 and CSA STAR, which demonstrate their robust information security and cloud security practices. In addition, HID’s SEOS® secure chipset is independently SEAL-certified, providing one of the most advanced levels of protection available on the market today. “Ultimately, this means organisations are not just purchasing isolated secure products; they are implementing solutions developed and delivered within a comprehensive, cybersecure framework,” says Commander. “When deployed according to best practices, HID solutions enable customers to achieve the highest levels of resilience against evolving physical and cyber threats.” Developing green and sustainable solutions A huge amount of waste is generated from the manufacture of plastic RFID access cards Digital credentials align with the sustainable solutions that everyone wants. A huge amount of waste is generated from the manufacture of plastic RFID access cards. Over 550 million access cards are sold annually. This creates 2,700 tons of plastic waste and 11,400 tons of carbon, based on a PVC card weighing 5 grams.  Therefore, digital credentials self-evidently reduce the reliance on plastic cards (helping reduce carbon emissions by up to 75% according to HID’s research), while leveraging access control system data supports energy optimisation by shutting down or reducing systems in unused spaces. Energy use and CO₂ emissions can be cut dramatically, showing how access systems can contribute to sustainability goals and green building certification. What is the latest in smart buildings? Smart buildings increasingly rely on mobile access control as the backbone for digital services. Real-time access data enables new services such as automated room bookings, HVAC control, lift/elevator calling, e-bike hiring, and so on. Smart buildings increasingly rely on mobile access control as the backbone for digital services The financial upside is clear; smart, digitally transformed buildings can deliver around 8% higher yields per square foot versus traditional office space. Operational savings accrue from reduced administration, the removal of card production and shipping, and lighter IT support. This creates a value cycle — better experiences drive adoption, adoption fuels monetisation, and monetisation funds further improvements. Achieving technology impact in the real world One standout project is One Bangkok – a $3.9 billion mixed used development in Thailand – which demonstrates the scale of what can be achieved when access control data is used for optimisation, particularly when it comes to monitoring facilities usage and occupier behaviours. By switching lights off or lowering the temperature in unused rooms, for example, the One Bangkok building demonstrates this potential with a 22% reduction in energy consumption, saving 17,000 MWh and 9,000 tons of CO₂ annually.  Sustainability is a key factor in contributing to how properties are valued. And sustainability extends far beyond digital credentials having a lower environmental impact than plastic cards.  Buildings with recognised sustainability certifications often command rental premiums of around 6%, and three‑quarters of security decision‑makers now consider environmental impact in their procurement assessments.

Connected Technologies has integrated best-in-class LoRaWAN wireless sensors with the Connect ONE® cloud security management platform, giving security dealers a wireless option for temperature, humidity, and door/window monitoring applications. The idea for the integration sprang from a specific need from a Connect ONE dealer and their customer. The customer operates warehouses throughout the country and previously hired local contractors to wire the monitoring system at each location. With the new wireless sensors, the dealer can ship equipment directly to each facility for a simplified self-install. Superior wireless technology “A dealer came to us, about to lose a customer to a manufacturer that sells direct,” said Dan Simon, President of Connected Technologies. “The customer needed a system for wine storage monitoring that was easier to install than hardwiring each warehouse. We had the integration in place in a matter of weeks, and it helped the dealer retain the customer and the recurring monthly revenue associated with the account.” The LoRaWAN wireless sensors use superior wireless technology for stable, long-range communication and ultra-low battery consumption - with a lifespan of 4+ years. Other benefits of LoRaWAN technology include built-in AES-encryption for secure data transmission and the ability to easily add devices to the wide-area network. The sensors provide temperature and humidity monitoring in one unit, and separate door/window sensors to monitor openings. Environmental monitoring requirements Connect ONE provides email, SMS, and push notifications for monitoring alerts, along with log reporting for historical information and compliance recordkeeping. The wireless system also integrates with the dealer’s central station receiver for alarm reporting. The addition of LoRaWAN wireless monitoring gives Connect ONE dealers another option for meeting customer’s environmental monitoring requirements while keeping the solution within the Connect ONE platform.

The FORENSIA Joint Venture, comprising HI Iberia Ingeniería y Proyectos, ETRA Investigación y Desarrollo, Herta and Hard Link Security, was one of the successful bidders for both lots of the call for tenders for the Pre-Commercial Procurement of R&D services issued by the Centre for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI). The increasing digitalisation of society, the rise in technology-related crime and the exponential growth in available information have made police investigations significantly more complex. The emergence of artificial intelligence and cyber threats has added to this complexity. Technology-related crime In this context, the Forensic Police need tools that can process information from multiple sources, identify links between seemingly unrelated pieces of evidence and generate actionable insights in increasingly shorter timeframes. In response to the growing complexity of criminal investigations and the fragmentation of many of the tools in use today, THOT and HORUS have a clear ambition: to transform how the Forensic Police capture, analyse and use forensic information. The two solutions will bring crime scene evidence collection, processing and advanced analysis together in a single digital ecosystem, improving coordination between police units, accelerating the generation of operational intelligence and strengthening evidence traceability and security throughout the process. Forensic intelligence platform ForensIA THOT will be the project's central forensic intelligence platform. It will integrate information from multiple sources to help investigators and analysts identify patterns, link cases and develop new lines of enquiry. The solution will incorporate advanced artificial intelligence, facial recognition and traceability mechanisms to ensure that evidence is used securely, transparently and reliably. ForensIA HORUS will provide the Forensic Police with new tools for the collection, analysis and management of evidence at the crime scene. One of its main capabilities is the creation of an Extended Forensic Digital Twin, which will make it possible to recreate the scenes under investigation in a virtual environment, making them easier to analyse, improving collaboration between specialists and streamlining evidence tracking. Full traceability of evidence The technology proposed by the FORENSIA Joint Venture introduces new capabilities that will help usher in a new generation of forensic police investigations. The main features that set the THOT and HORUS solutions apart include: Design centred on forensic work: tools designed specifically for Forensic Police specialists, with interfaces tailored to fieldwork that can be used while wearing gloves and protective equipment, are optimised for use outdoors and offer assistance via voice commands. Extended Forensic Digital Twin: the ability to generate accurate, photorealistic 3D reconstructions of crime scenes in real time using LiDAR and 360° photography, in a navigable environment. This technology will enable investigators to digitally document, analyse and preserve each scene while ensuring full traceability of evidence from the point of collection. Immediate on-scene analysis: using edge computing, the HORUS EDGE module enables rapid preliminary analysis directly at the scene, reducing reliance on network connectivity through offline-first operation, prioritising evidence and speeding up critical decisions. Integration with the forensic ecosystem: the platforms have been designed to interoperate with national and international systems, tools and databases, facilitating the exchange of information and helping to maintain continuity throughout the investigative process. Artificial intelligence for evidence analysis: advanced technology based on large language models (LLMs) automatically analyses large volumes of data and helps investigators digitise and automatically track data. Secure digital chain of custody: all actions will be recorded in full and in a verifiable manner, strengthening evidence traceability and providing greater safeguards for its use in legal proceedings. Remote collaboration and immersive training: the solutions will include real-time remote assistance and extended reality (XR) tools for training specialists in high-fidelity virtual forensic environments. Innovation for public safety These R&D initiatives form part of the CDTI's Pre-Commercial Procurement programme, which aims to foster the development of innovative solutions that strengthen public safety. THOT has a budget of €8.75 million and HORUS has a budget of €5.29 million, both including VAT. Both projects run for 36 months and are funded by the CDTI, with co-funding from the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). With this award, Spain is moving towards a new generation of forensic capabilities based on artificial intelligence and advanced data analysis, in line with the objectives of the European Forensic Science Area 2030. This strengthens the Forensic Police's ability to meet the challenges of 21st-century criminal investigations.

DigiCert, a pioneer in intelligent trust, announces growing adoption of the X9 Financial PKI as financial institutions modernise secure connections and prepare for approaching security requirements from The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). Since its introduction in 2025, the X9 Financial PKI has attracted more than 1,900 organisations deploying, evaluating, or testing the infrastructure. Established and governed by the Accredited Standards Committee X9 (ASC X9) and operated by DigiCert, the ASC X9 Financial PKI provides a common framework for organisations to authenticate each other and exchange information securely. ASC X9 Financial PKI supports trusted network connections between institutions, partners, and service providers independently of browser root programs. Critical financial communications “Financial institutions depend on secure connections that extend well beyond their own networks,” said Dean Coclin, Senior Director of Industry Strategy at DigiCert. “The growth in ASC X9 Financial PKI participation reflects demand for a common trust framework built around those relationships. DigiCert is helping organisations put that framework into practice as they prepare for DTCC’s deadlines.” DTCC now requires ASC X9 Financial PKI certificates for certain services that use mutually authenticated network connections, with implementation deadlines of November 30, 2026, in testing environments and December 31, 2026, in production. The requirement marks a significant step in the adoption of ASC X9 Financial PKI for critical financial communications. Browser-trusted certificates Organisations currently participating in or evaluating the ASC X9 Financial PKI ecosystem include leading financial institutions, payment processors, technology providers, and enterprises from sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, telecommunications, and critical infrastructure.  Changes to public TLS requirements are narrowing the role of browser-trusted certificates, often making them impractical to use for mutual authentication between servers. ASC X9 Financial PKI addresses those needs through a common trust anchor and policies tailored to financial services, supporting mutual TLS authentication without depending on browser root programs. Browser-trusted certificates “The financial sector has always advanced through a shared commitment to stability, trust, and collective progress,” said Sudha Iyer, Chief Officer - PKI & Cryptography at Citi. “Critical infrastructure security delivers its greatest value when the entire ecosystem can participate, rather than only a select few institutions. ASC X9 Financial PKI provide a common foundation that enables banks, financial institutions, and service providers to strengthen security, maintain interoperability, and evolve together at a pace that supports long-term resilience and trust across the industry.” “The ASC X9 Financial PKI was established to address a critical industry need for secure, interoperable communications between financial institutions and their partners,” said Steve Stevens, Executive Director of ASC X9. “DTCC’s adoption demonstrates the value of a common, industry-governed trust framework. Through ASC X9, financial institutions and other stakeholders have a voice in shaping the policies and requirements that will allow the ASC X9 Financial PKI to evolve as technology and industry needs change.” Identify affected connections DigiCert was selected by ASC X9 as a Certificate Authority to provide managed PKI infrastructure and launched the ASC X9 Financial PKI production environment in 2025. Organisations preparing for the DTCC deadlines can obtain the required ASC X9 Financial PKI certificates through DigiCert and should identify affected connections, install the applicable ASC X9 Financial PKI trust chain and allow time for testing before production deployment. More information is available at DigiCert’s X9 PKI solutions page.
