The cannabis industry is experiencing exponential growth as more regions legalize its use for both medicinal and recreational purposes. This expanding market presents unique opportunities but also comes with unique challenges in the realms of security and compliance.

Compliance and security in the cannabis industry, while closely related, address different aspects of operational integrity. Compliance focuses on adhering to local and state regulations to ensure legal and safe production and distribution, whereas security involves protecting the physical and digital assets of the business (including inventory, cash and personnel) from theft, diversion and cyber threats.
