Brivo, known for its innovative work in AI and cloud-native physical security, has announced its membership with the Secure Building Council (SBC). Furthermore, Steve Van Till, Brivo’s Founder and President, has been appointed to the SBC Advisory Board.
The SBC, a non-profit organisation, is dedicated to enhancing security, resilience, and intelligence in built environments. Its SHIELD Certification program marks the first AI-powered certification in building security, providing crucial guidance on security design, technology, operations, compliance, and liability for building owners and architects.
Van Till commented, “The Secure Building Council aims to do for physical security what LEED did for sustainability. By creating a credible, outcome-based certification, they are providing a framework that building owners actually want.” The SHIELD Certification is designed to set a new standard in building security, ensuring the protection of people and assets remains a core focus in architectural and operational decisions.
Paula Balmori, SBC President, expressed enthusiasm about Van Till’s inclusion in the Advisory Board, stating, “Throughout his career, Steve Van Till has pioneered the move to cloud-native, data-driven security. We are honoured to have Steve join the SBC Advisory Board. His vision aligns with SBC’s core mission: elevating security to a critical enterprise priority.”
