Addressing the higher technical requirements of today’s advanced security technologies, SDI offers a hybrid security and IT skill set that significantly reduces risks and optimizes performance when integrating security technology into enterprise environments. The firm’s IT engineers are adept in addressing typical CIO concerns of network utilization, scalable storage platforms, and overall risk mitigation as it relates to the deployment of logical and physical security systems such as PSIM, access control, and enterprise digital video surveillance.
