The ESX OpenXchange Breakfast is poised to be a forward-looking session that will bring together three thought-leaders driving the electronic security industry’s technological evolution. The topic – AI, IoT, and Monitoring Transforming Security – will be presented by Priya Serai, CIO of Zeus Fire and Security, Matthew Wooten, Co-founder/CTO of Ivani LLC, and Darrin Reilly, President/CEO of Mission Critical Partners LLC.
Attendees at this annual Main Stage ESX event will gain valuable insights into these emerging technologies that are not only disrupting the security landscape but creating new possibilities for organizational resilience, operational efficiency, and competitive advantage in the world of security.
Priya Serai will detail how AI is reshaping the world of security. She is leading the charge on AI innovation, digital transformation, and leveraging video surveillance to deliver actionable intelligence that helps businesses protect their people and profits. As Serai points out,
“AI is flipping the script on security—turning cameras into sensors, footage into foresight, and alerts into action. At Zeus, we’re not just adapting to the future, we’re engineering it. I’m excited to join the ESX Main Stage and unpack the tech that’s redefining the industry.”
Matthew Wooton, Co-founder/CTO of Ivani LLC, will demonstrate how IoT and security are meshing, creating unprecedented collaboration that enhances customer experiences and better outcomes for alarm verification. Specializing in creating quick turnaround solutions to real problems using systems engineering, Wooton is both an engineer and entrepreneur and has an ever-growing list of granted and pending patents.
“I’m very excited to share the stage with pillars of the security industry at ESX 2025,” he says. “I look forward to sharing insights on system-level solutions and their potential impact on the world of physical security.”
Darrin Reilly, President/CEO of Mission Critical Partners, will showcase the future of monitoring technologies revolutionizing alarm dispatching for integrators, monitoring centers, and emergency communications centers. He is a client-focused leader that has a passion to serve those who provide safety and security services in the communities where we live, work, and play. “We’re at the dawn of a new era in public safety,” he points out. “Advancements in digital alarm dispatch are not just improving emergency response efficiency, they are redefining how we anticipate, prevent, and protect against critical incidents.”
“As part of this panel, I am thrilled to explore how we’re reshaping emergency communications and showcase how these innovations are enabling faster, smarter, and previously unimaginable response outcomes for both public safety and the alarm industry.”
As George De Marco, ESX Chairman and Moderator of the OpenXchange Breakfast adds,
“This gathering of industry visionaries represents the perfect intersection of innovation and practical application. AI, IoT, and advanced monitoring technologies are not just transforming our industry, they’re redefining what’s possible for security and creating competitive advantages that forward-thinking companies can’t afford to ignore.”
