In almost all applications, flexibility has great value. If an owner or end user of a system is provided various options, they are empowered to make decisions regarding what they feel is best for their situation. Technical security is no different. There are different schools of thought with how much flexibility to give an end user regarding security system designs and operations, but there is great value for having flexibility from the end user’s perspective. In general, most people like to make choices and have control of their assets. Therefore, it is important for security system integrators to find ways to be flexible during the security system design and implementation process to allow the end user to be take true ownership of their system without feeling they are forcibly locked into a specified solution.

Training is a critical aspect of ensuring adequate performance from system operators. In any industry involving technical systems, training allows the system users to understand the system’s functionality and increases efficiency in system operation. Technical security systems are no different and, in many cases, require more regular training than other technical system applications. In the world of technical security, training provides the system operators the confidence they need to be proficient in their jobs and allows them to evolve their techniques and skills to counter new trends and strategies used by adversarial individuals.
