Gallagher's 2025 Security Industry Trends Report

Gallagher Security gave me an early peek at Gallagher's 2025 Security Industry Trends Report, and I wanted to break it down and provide my perspective.

As we’ve discussed often, the security sector isn't just evolving—it's transforming. Let's break it down based on Gallagher's 2025 Security Industry Trends Report.

The Big Picture

Security systems are breaking free from their traditional "lock and monitor" role. They're becoming central to business intelligence, operational efficiency, and, yes, even sustainability (personally, even though the report didn’t mention it, I also believe revenue-generating). This isn't just an upgrade—it's a complete paradigm shift.

Here's what caught my attention:

Mobile Credentials. A Classic "Revolution vs. Reality" Story:

While the tech is promising, and everyone believes it is inevitable, the market is split right now. The conversations with Channel Partners show enthusiasm, but End Users? They're hitting the pause button. The disconnect between potential and adoption is real right now.

The People Factor. It's Bigger Than You Think:

The elephant in the room isn't technology—it's talent. High turnover is crushing efficiency, and the skills gap is widening. Research shows that companies winning this game are those investing heavily in next-gen talent acquisition.

Tech Stack Evolution. I will summarize it as follows:

  • Cloud: Everyone wants in, but cybersecurity concerns keep CFOs up at night.
  • AI: It is early – promising but unpredictable right now, and being an industry built on predictability, it is causing anxiety.
  • Cybersecurity: No longer optional. Period. It is not a trend. It is a reality.

Regional Innovation Hotspots:

  • Asia: Leading the mobile revolution
  • Middle East: All-in on smart building tech
  • Africa: Pioneering community-centric solutions

The Bottom Line:

The industry's future belongs to those who can balance tech innovation with human-centric design. This isn't about having the flashiest features – it's about creating solutions that solve problems.

Quick Hot Take:

Companies fixating on product specs are missing the bigger picture. In 2025, the real winners will be those building ecosystems, not just products.

Actionable advice:

Focus on integration capabilities and user experience. The days of siloed security solutions are moving to the minority, not the majority.

Curious to hear: What security trends are you seeing and do you relate to this report?

Kaine Hardman I guess Lee's comment on ecosystems is aligned with your recent posts about #endtoend #souptonuts ?
