Specop Secure proudly attended this year’s CEDIA Expo last September 3-5, 2025 , where industry leaders gathered to explore the latest innovations in technology and integration. Farr Shepherd shared valuable insights during his session “From Network Installer to Digital Gatekeeper: Why Cybersecurity Starts With You,” emphasizing the critical role integrators play in protecting connected systems and client networks.
Meanwhile, Ted Bremekamp and Michael Cogbill led an informative discussion on “Maintenance Plans for Integrated Systems,” highlighting the importance of proactive service and ongoing system management in today’s connected environments.
Throughout the event, we had the opportunity to meet with numerous integrators and technology professionals, exchanging ideas on how IT services, network infrastructure, and cybersecurity are shaping modern businesses and redefining the future of connected living.
At the 2025 Builder Innovator Summit in Orlando, SpecOp Secure’s Ted Bremekamp joined the roundtable “Service with a Smile: The Ultimate Luxury Ownership Experience” to call attention to something that’s too often overlooked in high-end homes: cybersecurity.
With real-world data showing just how easy it is to exploit smart home systems, Ted made a clear case for why integrators should be building cybersecurity into every service plan. It addresses real vulnerabilities while strengthening the long-term value of the service. SpecOp’s approach begins with a full risk assessment that ranks issues as low, medium, or critical. That assessment is repeated every 90 days, giving clients a clear, visual report they can act on—and a reason to keep trusting the integrator who brought it to them.
Watch the clip to hear Ted’s take on how integrators can lead the conversation—and why clients are ready to listen.
