Neo's Top 7 Trends in Security 2024

The security industry in 2024 is dynamic, and NEO Technologies (Pty) Ltd is at the forefront of this evolution. We're embracing technological advancements and adapting to the changing needs of society. This era witnesses the merging of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data, paving the way for smarter, more proactive, and predictive security solutions.

Here are seven trends Neo anticipates will shape the security industry in 2024:

1.? AI boosts machine perception

AI is transforming security by enhancing machines' ability to perceive their surroundings. For instance, Artificial Intelligence Image Signal Processing (AI-ISP) technology revolutionizes video imaging, providing clearer visuals even in low-light environments and reducing reliance on additional lighting and leading to more efficient situational responses.

2.? AI-driven applications revolutionize industries

Advances in AI enable tailored solutions across various sectors like manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and education, fostering collaboration and innovation.

Based on open platforms and advanced algorithms, more streamlined architectures facilitate seamless AI adoption in a range of different verticals. This fosters collaboration and creates an innovative ecosystem for technological advancement.

3.? Cloud and edge computing converging

The merging of cloud and edge computing is driving faster and more efficient services, resulting in real-time, intelligent solutions. This includes smarter perimeter control and convenient cloud-based security system management, providing immediate analytics and better decision-making at the edge. Cloud-based platforms also offer scalable options, minimizing hardware investments and reducing costs for businesses of all sizes.

4.? Digital twin technology enhances business management

Digital twins are virtual models that simulate real-world scenarios in real time. By integrating with AIoT, cloud computing, and other technologies, they provide us with dynamic insights on performance metrics like security, traffic, and energy usage. This enables an immersive experience with synchronised visuals, improving process efficiency, enabling proactive maintenance, and leading to cost savings and better business management.

5.? Rapid advancements in LED display technology

The rapid adoption of Chip-on-Board (COB) technology is driving demand for small-pitch LEDs, balancing energy efficiency with high resolution. Integrated video walls in command centers and interactive displays are catalysing digital transformation in education, business, and hospitality sectors.

6.? Digital identity authentication security is crucial

Digital identity authentication is crucial for safeguarding against cybersecurity threats like phishing and malware. Employing strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and staying vigilant against social engineering attacks are essential measures to protect digital identities.

7.? Innovative technologies promote environmental sustainability

The security industry is adopting green practices to reduce carbon emissions and resource usage. This includes efficient product transportation, sustainable packaging, and standardised component utilisation. Additional technologies like environmental sensors integrated into security systems aid in responding to natural disasters, enhancing climate change resilience.

These trends mark a notable transformation in today's security landscape, offering safer and more sustainable solutions for businesses and communities. Stay tuned for further trends, information, and insights that Neo Technologies will be sharing in the coming weeks.
