Coverage engineering, network capacity, NDAA compliance, and the real failure modes — written for the people who have to make the system hold up.
JST's $500 million Guntersville expansion is the latest sign of how fast North Alabama's industrial base is growing. Facilities built at that scale need surveillance and network infrastructure planned in from day one, not added after the fact by whichever vendor answers the phone first.
Read →Most industrial camera systems accumulated one purchase at a time. A properly designed system starts with risk, not equipment.
Read →IonQ just launched a quantum key distribution system that runs on fiber you already have. Here is what that means for the cameras, access control, and networks securing your facility.
Read →Governor Ivey's Growing Alabama program just committed $20 million to ready 10 industrial sites across the state. Here's what facility managers and site developers need to know about security infrastructure from day one.
Read →A 2026 survey found nearly a quarter of organizations can see only half of their OT environment. Real OT visibility includes the physical layer, and the security system itself has to be segmented so it does not become the next attack surface.
Read →M&H Valve is putting $19 million into advanced manufacturing technology at its Anniston foundry, replacing machinery more than 20 years old. When a plant modernizes production, the security and network infrastructure should be on the same timeline.
Read →Blue Origin is adding 100 jobs to its Huntsville operations, pushing its Alabama workforce past 1,600 across three facilities. For security integrators and facility managers in Alabama's growing aerospace sector, that kind of expansion signals more than new jobs.
Read →A joint federal advisory from the FBI, CISA, and NSA confirmed Iranian-linked hackers are actively compromising internet-exposed PLCs across U.S. critical infrastructure. Here is what that means for industrial facilities in Northeast Alabama.
Read →Lockheed Martin's $9 billion Alabama expansion is one of the clearest signals yet that defense manufacturing in the state is scaling fast. For facilities anywhere in that supply chain, NDAA-compliant physical security is not a future consideration.
Read →Occasional, technical, no fluff.
