2024 Industry Event Highlights

This past year, our team traveled across North America to participate in various industry events. Atriade was called upon multiple times to leverage our expertise as thought leaders, sharing valuable insights with industry professionals

Throughout the year, we worked diligently to broaden industry relationships, support clients, and educate the security community, with plans to continue this mission in 2025 and beyond.

Here are some highlights from the events in which we attended, sponsored, and participated.

Developing Advanced Solutions For Our Clients

In 2024, Atriade expanded its service offerings to meet the evolving needs of our clients. We developed comprehensive Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for parking management, enhancing efficiency and safety for our clients in this sector. 

Additionally, we established Security Master Plans focused on safety communications, ensuring robust emergency response systems for our clients.

Our professional services division saw significant growth, particularly in operational workflow development and program administration. 

We've deepened our expertise in configuring software applications tailored to our clients' specific operational needs, bridging the gap between requirements and implementation.

Our firm helped lead new security assessment projects, including identifying gaps in procedure and technology within some of the country's largest K-12 city school districts today. And we expanded our scope of work and services with new higher education clients at both the community college level and the top 4-year institutions in the United States. 

We continue to partner with clients in the Financial Services, Higher Education, and Healthcare sectors to offer customized security solutions. 

Most of all, we are grateful for the opportunity to assist our clients in securing their assets, employees, and visitors. Our team has forged new relationships with organizations recognizing the critical importance of comprehensive security measures, whether in threat mitigation or security assessments.

Upcoming 2025 Trends and Challenges

2025 industry trends and themes will revolve around the impact of AI on video analytics, SaaS in security environments, the evolution of frictionless access to mobile access solutions, and physical and cybersecurity convergence, to name a few. 

As we turn the page to the new year, we look forward to pursuing new endeavors, and we are thankful to our existing clients for trusting us with their physical security consulting needs. We're committed to furthering our educational initiatives, expanding partnerships, and delivering unparalleled expertise in physical security consulting.
