Cyber threats are no longer abstract IT problems sitting outside the scope of audiovisual projects. As AV systems become more connected, more integrated and more critical to operations, they are also becoming part of a rapidly escalating security battleground.

From board-level accountability and skills shortages to supply chain liability, zero trust architecture and the reality that breaches are a matter of “when, not if”. Reardon sets out why resilience and recovery planning are now just as important as protection.
For integrators operating in an increasingly regulated and interconnected environment, cyber security is no longer an add-on. It’s a defining business risk.
