Holistic Security for Organizations in 2026

Security challenges facing organizations in 2026 are more complex than ever. Physical access systems, corporate IT environments, industrial networks, cloud solutions, and artificial intelligence are tightly interconnected — and so are the risks. Traditional, siloed security approaches are no longer enough.
