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:
Regional Innovation Hotspots:
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.
