Entering 2022, the world continues to endure the COVID-19 pandemic. But the security industry has, no doubt, continued to shift, adapt, and develop in spite of things. Several trends have even accelerated. Beyond traditional ‘physical security’, a host of frontiers like AI, cloud computing, IoT, and cyber security are being rapidly pioneered, by entities big and small in the security industry.
By all appearances, the security industry is in a stage of re-defining itself. It is moving from mere security and safety protections, to encompass a wider scope of activity that will expand safety, while also bringing new levels of intelligence and sustainability to communities, companies and societies.
