Cloud security – ripping up the rule book of how businesses protect their premises

Cloud security – ripping up the rule book of how businesses protect their premises

Whether you’re operating from a single location or managing dozens of sites globally, cloud-based security is rewriting the rules. At Kore, we’re helping organisations move away from outdated hardware-heavy set-ups to cost-effective cloud-managed solutions that are easier to use and scale.

Is it time to say goodbye to unnecessary costs, maintenance headaches, and vulnerable hardware? Here’s how cloud solutions are ripping up the rule book...

Rethinking cloud

Despite cloud computing being part of our everyday lives, when it comes to smart building management, we often see a reluctance from businesses to embrace change. There is still a misconception that the cloud is less secure than storing data on hardware and is cumbersome to implement. In reality, modern cloud security systems offer advanced security features and continuous, rapid threat response capabilities that often exceed what traditional on-premises solutions can provide. What’s more, new solutions are simple to install with minimal disruption and user training. Rethinking the cloud means shifting from outdated assumptions to recognising it as a scalable and secure solution.

Protecting multiple sites from one platform

For organisations operating across multiple sites, cloud security has transformational benefits. With a centralised platform, businesses can monitor, manage, and protect every site from a single dashboard.

Remote access is another feature that sets cloud security apart from traditional systems. Authorised users can securely access footage or data from anywhere and on any device. Whether it's updating security settings, reviewing camera footage, or managing user permissions, cloud-based solutions empower teams to stay in control, no matter where they are.

More than just cameras

Modern cloud-managed systems can be more than just video surveillance. Depending on your provider and configuration, you can incorporate the following:

  • Access control systems that link to your HR or visitor management systems
  • Environmental sensors for detecting temperature, humidity, or air quality
  • Intrusion detection with real-time alerts and escalation protocols
  • AI-driven analytics to track occupancy, recognise registration plates, or flag suspicious behaviour

This level of integration turns your physical security system into a source of operational intelligence. For example, tracking foot traffic in a retail space can inform staffing decisions or monitoring occupancy in meeting rooms can support booking systems and lighting usage.

Pricing structure

Unlike traditional security models, Kore takes a unique approach when supporting customers with Rhombus camera installations. Instead of requiring a large upfront investment, we offer a convenient annual payment plan that’s fixed for three years. This covers everything from the physical cameras and professional installation to dashboard training and ongoing maintenance.

This model removes hidden costs and ensures your security system remains up-to-date and fully supported. It’s a smarter, more predictable alternative to the traditional approach.
