rAVe Security Edition

Hello there! Somehow I blinked and we’re halfway through August. I don’t know how this year has gotten so far away from me. But I digress. In our latest security newsletter, we have a piece all about how the network switch is an important part of AV and is therefore a part of security. Read it here.


Also don’t miss the information linked all about ISC East 2025. Are any of you attending in November? Let me know!  


Finally, I included a few of the latest news stories from the past few weeks — from Extron’s partnership with CENTEGIX to Resideo spinning off ADI and more. 


Happy Reading!

New Tariff Rates Set to Take Effect Aug. 7: What They Mean for Security Companies


On July 31, 2025, hours before his self-imposed deadline, President Trump announced a new set of tariff rates that will take effect Aug. 7. Imports from over 70 countries will face higher tariff rates than the current, universally-imposed 10%, rates the president says were determined by his administration based on the lack of reciprocity in bilateral trade relationships, the status of trade negotiations, efforts to retaliate against the United States and adequate steps to align sufficiently with the United States on economic and national security matters.
