Dataminr Chief Partner Officer Matt Harrell and Genetec VP of Marketing Andrew Elvish sat down to discuss the state of security and their two organizations’ shared mission: enabling businesses to see and react to risk with speed and confidence. At the center of the conversation—how the right intelligence redefines response.
From Information Overload to Intelligent Action
Today’s security operations centers are under increased pressure. Limited resources, constrained time, and an influx of alerts—many of them false positives—stretch teams thin. Analysts must navigate a maze of disconnected tools, dashboards, and feeds that demand constant attention but yield little meaningful context. The result is operational complexity that creates blind spots, delays detection, and hinders response.
The Dataminr–Genetec partnership is focused on changing that equation. By bringing Dataminr’s AI-powered, real-time event, threat, and risk intelligence directly into Genetec’s physical security video management platform, organizations can close the gap between knowing and acting.
From protecting critical infrastructure to ensuring business continuity in times of crisis, Dataminr and Genetec are enabling true situational awareness—allowing them to identify and mitigate threats before they affect operations or employee safety. Now, security teams can eliminate the need for “chair-swivel” to correlate siloed information within workflows, offering a single source to monitor external risk and internal security controls.
The Power of a Single Pane of Glass
As Elvish described it, our goal isn’t just to make operators faster. It’s to make them smarter.
“Seconds matter,” he said, reflecting on how incident response plays out on the ground. Today’s teams lack clear, prompt, and actionable insights. Every moment spent switching between systems, validating signals, or preparing responses can turn containment into chaos.
By embedding Dataminr’s intelligence, powered by over 1 million public data sources, directly inside the Genetec Security Center, analysts get contextual information and guided workflows, all within a single experience. This enables teams to launch predefined responses, countermeasures, and standard operating procedures, all without leaving the screen where decisions are made.
It’s a model designed to position organizations to act with confidence, at the earliest possible sign of risk.
Proactive, Not Reactive
While today’s advancements enhance responsiveness, tomorrow’s focus is on expanding telemetry to anticipate risk.
Elvish outlined a vision where intelligence doesn’t just inform response. It shapes prevention. Future integrations could extend into executive protection, evidence management, and physical identity and access management, using Dataminr’s AI insights to add context before incidents ever occur.
“Being proactive,” he explained, “is about more than speed. It’s about foresight, the ability to see around corners and prepare for what’s coming before it arrives.”
Unified Security, Human Focus
What made the conversation compelling wasn’t just the technology—it was the shared reimagining of how analysts and operators see, respond to, and eventually forecast risk. It’s about breaking down barriers, removing friction, and equipping teams with unified tools that improve clarity and decision-making.
As the session wrapped, Harrell reflected on what this collaboration really means:
“We’re so excited about what this partnership brings to our customers. The future of unified security is here.”
In an industry where every second matters, that future can’t come soon enough.
