GIBRALTAR PERIMETER SECURITY
This, he says, is artificial general intelligence( AGI) in early form, capable of teaching itself, and he expects to see some form of AGI at ISC West this year.
In data centres, Douglas sees AI applied to a range of use cases, from behavioural detection at the perimeter to medical response inside the data hall.
He also cites applications in insider threat detection, verifying that the right person with the right technology is at the right rack at the right time, as well as fire safety, where AI and thermal cameras can validate fire alarms, identify pull‐station misuse and detect hot spots on electrical transfer switches.
Looking ahead, Douglas identifies AGI as the next major driver of return on investment for data centre operators, arguing that it is distinct from IoT and marks what he describes as the fifth industrial revolution.
He says Gibraltar is exploring how to leverage AI with different packages according to how secure a site needs to be. These include the potential use of drones and drone detection, as well as custom cage builds aligned with regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA where AI overlays video management systems to support three‐factor authentication based on cards, PINs and body morphology rather than facial recognition.
“ What can’ t be scammed is the shape of your body,” Douglas says, adding that body morphology combined with other factors can reach 96 % accuracy in access control.
