Here is an absolutely FULL newsletter for all you #AVtweeps trying to get the latest and greatest news about ISE, new product releases from the past week and even a spot of what you can expect from InfoComm from Mark Coxon. (He writes about some common deceiving specs and how to filter the noise so you can maintain an idea of what’s really important on the show floor.)

In Hope Roth’s latest column, she writes about a fictional scenario that presents a very real issue: cybersecurity concerns that can lead to a ransomware attack. What do you #AVtweeps need to know to make sure you keep your information secure? Read to find out!

Don’t forget: Even if you can’t join us on the show floor at ISE 2022, you can always follow along via the microsite — AND we will feature rePLAY ISE 2022 on LAVNCH May 18. We will have separate sessions: One for our EMEA #AVtweeps and one for those in the U.S. So check it out and feel free to pick the session with the time that works best for you! Don’t miss it!

Have a great rest of the week!

COLUMNS

 

+ A (Fictional) Integrator’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day [Hope Roth]

Every company should fear a ransomware attack, but AV companies are in a uniquely precarious position. Our systems are closely integrated into our clients’ infrastructure and we are often privy to sensitive information. This one-two punch of trust and vulnerability makes for a tempting target. Add in many firms’ lackadaisical approach when it comes to basic cybersecurity precautions and it’s a small wonder that we don’t hear more horror stories.

+ InfoComm Survival Guide- Know These 3 Deceiving Specs [Mark Coxon]

It is May 2022 and we are about 1 month away from #Infocomm22 in Las Vegas. I’m excited to see the show back in a big way, and I know there is a lot of pent up excitement for a return to glory. With that, there will be a lot of manufacturers on the floor who will also be excited to tell you about their products. You’ll be hearing a lot of buzzwords supported by speeds and feeds, and sometimes it’s hard to filter through the noise to figure out what is really relevant.
