Preventative Security With AI
LVT built D3 (Detect, Deter, Defend) to shift security from reactive recording to preventative intervention using AI-driven behavioral detection.
Deploying deterrence (visual, audio, two-way) prevents ~70% of incidents before human escalation is needed.

Episode Key Takeaways
Embrace event-driven architectures: Dive into event-driven architectures to make your services more agile and scalable. By using asynchronous workflows, you can simplify maintenance and avoid the headaches of traditional point-to-point integrations.
Adopt the cloud for flexibility: Explore the benefits of cloud-native services for your security and enterprise solutions, just like LVT’s D3 system. The cloud makes deployment faster, more cost-effective, and scalable, helping you manage systems across different locations without being tied to local IT setups.
Invest in orchestration platforms: Leveraging orchestration platforms can streamline your business processes. These tools help you separate business logic from connectivity, letting you tweak workflows quickly and adapt to changing needs with ease.
Align IT with business goals: Bringing IT and business operations together can make your solutions much more effective. By using event-driven architectures and orchestration platforms, you can ensure that your IT efforts directly support your business goals, leading to greater agility, smarter decisions, and smoother operations.
