THE WINNING TEAM in CYBER SECURITY: GUARDDOG.AI.
In today’s luxury homes, technology is no longer an accessory — it is the backbone of how a residence functions. From intelligent lighting systems and integrated controls to whole-home automation and connected IoT devices, modern estates rely on robust, always-on digital infrastructure. With that advancement comes responsibility. At the highest level of custom home design, cybersecurity is now essential.
As design professionals in high-end residential environments, the conversation doesn’t stop at visual beauty or functionality. It extends into the protection of data, privacy, and system integrity. A beautifully designed home means very little if the digital foundation behind it is vulnerable. This is where thoughtful cybersecurity solutions come into play — and why partnerships with forward-thinking platforms like GuardDog.AI have become so important within the luxury home ecosystem.
During this period of collaboration, Glenn Merlin Johnson worked alongside GuardDog.AI in business development, helping bridge the gap between technology, design, and real-world implementation. His role emphasized a growing truth in the industry: lighting designers, integrators, and technical experts are no longer working in isolation. We are stewards of an entire experience — visual, emotional, architectural, and digital.
“At Adaptive Design Group, our responsibility is not only to shape how a home feels, but how it functions and protects the people inside it.”
His original sentiment captures this perfectly:
“As design professionals in home tech it is our responsibility to provide our clients protection over their homes entire network of wired and wireless IoT products. This is the simplest and most cost effective solution by far! Glad to help with business development.” — Glenn Merlin Johnson
Luxury homeowners demand more than elegance; they demand certainty. They expect their environments to be secure, their systems to be reliable, and their privacy to be preserved. Cybersecurity is now an invisible layer of luxury — one that works quietly behind the scenes, much like exceptional lighting design.
At Adaptive Design Group, we remain committed to advancing the technical and artistic standards of the modern home. Whether through architectural lighting, integrated systems planning, or strategic collaboration with cybersecurity innovators, our work is always centered around creating intelligent, resilient, and protected environments.
If you’re building or evolving a technologically advanced home, reach out to us to explore how thoughtful collaboration can safeguard your vision while elevating your lifestyle.

Cybersecurity for the Connected Life – Home & Office
In today’s connected environments, smart lighting and integrated AV systems are just the beginning. With every new device comes another potential entry point—making network security not just optional, but essential.
Plug & Protect is the ethos behind guardDog Solutions’ approach to residential cybersecurity. With their Fido device, a simple plug-in installation can shield the entire home or office network from malicious digital threats. No complicated setup, no IT team required—just active protection from the moment it powers on.
When Glenn Merlin Johnson served as business development manager for guardDog, he brought this forward-thinking solution into the spotlight at CEDIA Expo’s Launchpad—where emerging technologies meet the industry’s most innovative minds. In that role, Glenn helped highlight how tools like Fido could give integrators and homeowners alike a practical layer of security for everything happening beyond the physical walls of the space.
This type of foresight is part of what sets Adaptive Design Group apart. Understanding the full picture—from architectural lighting to acoustic design to now cybersecurity—means bringing clients real peace of mind, digitally and physically.
Because if you’re living with tech, you need to protect.
