TSE 26 Episode 2 — Regulation Is Not the Tax. It Is the Moat.

In Part 2 of our XPod series from The Security Event, we look at one of the most repeated assumptions in physical security: that regulation is a tax on innovation. The voices in this episode push back on that idea. When regulation is done right, it can force better product discipline, stronger architecture, cleaner data practices, and trust with buyers who cannot afford to get security, privacy, or liability wrong. This conversation brings together perspectives from Gareth Robinson of 2N, Michael Lee of Nedap, Roman Bratishko of CoreWillSoft, Spencer Marshall of Gallagher Security, Nick Venuti of BraXos, Stephen Oliva of Altronix, Pete Jones of Third Millennium / HID, Thomas Bertaux of XPR, Ian Law of Alarm.com, Heikki Hiltunen of iLOQ, and Dick Clark of Telaeris. The takeaway is not that all regulation is good. Too much regulation can become a wall, especially for smaller innovators. But the right amount can become a moat. Regulation is not a tax. It is the moat. This is Secured, live from The Security Event.
