Visitor Management Isn't a Product Category. It's the Land Grab.

This week on Secured, Lee Odess breaks down the latest news and ideas shaping the security industry, starting with Rhombus’ new DC10 single-door controller and EliseAI’s latest funding round and approach to multifamily. He also highlights three stories from The Secured Brief, covering macroeconomic risk in access control, what happens in the seconds after an AI-generated alert, and the challenges around credential interoperability. In My View, Lee takes a deeper look at visitor management and questions whether it is really its own category, or another way people interact with access control, identity, and the spaces around them. He also shares the story behind ACS26 in New Zealand, from a cold email that started it all to this year’s theme, “Our Mainstream Moment,” and what he believes it means for the industry.
