Summary

06 May 2014 11

!   Physical security offers compelling value for a certain segment

!   Currently a silo market !   An ‘Open’ platform will probably win in Smart Homes !   Security vendors are not building open platforms !   Security could become defined more widely !   A Smart Home is becoming a physical/digital construct !   So in many ways digitally securing the platform is more

important than physically securing the home
