The global race toward new technologies and faster bandwidth is resulting in industry-shaping innovations across the security sector. Leading the implementation of new technology, Wilson Security is investing heavily to shape business security over the next decade. A decade it believes will redefine how we approach the safety of people and property.

Tech innovations are redesigning business security

Business security is undergoing seismic changes thanks to emerging innovations across both physical and digital aspects of security technology. Physical innovations such as drones, screening devices, and biometric tech are shaping our interactions with security, removing barriers in traditional business security.

Digital innovations are creating opportunities to enhance and integrate security systems to allow for the seamless management of security. Machine learning, AI, data analytics, and processing advancements are just some of the major influences on the sector. These digital innovations are constantly evolving and building on themselves towards greater efficiencies.

What this means for customers

The challenge for the next decade will be harnessing these growing capabilities to offer customers simple and connected experiences when it comes to the security of their businesses.

“Our customers expect comprehensive security solutions from us,” says Wilson Security Chief Strategy Officer, Chris Goodall. “In 2021, the emergence and convergence of technologies, as well as exponential advancements in processing speeds, allows us to offer integrated products that were not long ago the stuff of science fiction.”

Central to its strategic outlook is Wilson Security’s leadership in influencing the direction of these emerging innovations combined with a risk-based approach to the security sector. This means it can continue to be a source for credible guidance and information for businesses who want to know where to start or how to improve their security.

The emergence of smart surveillance

The global video surveillance market for 2025 is forecasted to grow three times the size as it was in 2016. Smart surveillance is driving this growth as it enhances response times and allows for strategic deployment of resources. Wilson Security deploys various technologies to adapt to better surveillance.

  • Mobile solar-run systems: a lack of access to power is no longer a problem for businesses thanks to the low cost and simple deployment of these systems. Covering major infrastructure in rural areas is now easily supported so employees can be proactive and strategically deploy to security issues in real-time.

  • Drone security technology: inaccessible areas of a facility can now be automatically and quickly monitored. Single units can cover large areas or fleets can be tethered to monitor entire areas. Live data can be fed to security teams so they can more easily identify threats and make better decisions.

  • Thermal recognition software: used in perimeter systems and efficient virtual surveillance systems, these take the pressure off businesses by allowing remote monitoring and informed responses to potential threats. These systems can complement existing business security measures, relieving teams so they can be deployed more efficiently.

Where security and community safety meet

The rising threat of health scares is demanding more of business security to ensure workplace and community safety. Efficient monitoring and reporting are quickly becoming vital tools in preventing or controlling these types of events. For businesses, there is pressure to not only follow health measures but to be a reassuring leader for the community.

The best way to do this is by applying integrated smart technologies to streamline tracing procedures. This helps meet community expectations and avoid costly disruptions to the economy.

TGA Approved Themometric Screening is relied on by many businesses that experience high traffic and can be used to bring the use of a venue or building back to pre-pandemic norms more quickly. A once novel technology, screening devices are being increasingly deployed across different businesses. It’s expected to be a consistent presence in business security as community health becomes a long-term concern.

Integrated use of identity tracking systems and video surveillance helps businesses quickly get on top of health scares and security breaches. The key to their effective use is understanding how to integrate them together with existing systems. It’s also important to upskill staff to understand how to apply technologies usefully in their role.

Removing room for error in access security

Innovations in security over the next decade will have the effect of removing complexity for businesses as well as the chances for costly, and sometimes dangerous, errors.

“We’re doing the work of exploring and implementing new technologies into our product suite,” Chris Goodall continues. “Any leading security company in 2021 will be asking itself how it can shape and integrate new technology, while looking to the future to anticipate what capabilities we can provide businesses.”

Providers such as Wilson Security play two roles in this evolving landscape: thinking ahead to envision the future of business security technology, and helping businesses in their adoption and use of this technology.
