The new report highlights how AI, cloud platforms, and connected security ecosystems are transforming the future of security
Securitas Technology, one of the largest electronic security companies in the world, has announced today the publication of its Global Technology Perspectives Report 2027, which provides organizations with practical insights on the technologies, trends, and business priorities that are transforming the electronic security sector.
Highly anticipated by security professionals around the world —and now in its ninth annual edition—, the Global Technology Perspectives Report gathers insights from over 16,000 end-user clients from 19 countries, independent research with more than 575 security decision-makers, 26 of the leading manufacturers and innovators in the world, as well as subject matter experts from Securitas Technology around the globe.
The result is the most comprehensive view of the sector on how security programs are evolving to address increasing complexity, emerging risks, and rapidly changing technology.
As security increasingly contributes to business resilience, operational continuity, and organizational trust, the report reveals a clear shift towards more connected and intelligence-based security strategies, enabling organizations to anticipate risks, make decisions more quickly, and operate more efficiently.
"Security leaders today face an environment defined by an acceleration of change," stated Tony Byerly, global president and CEO of Securitas Technology. "The Global Technology Perspectives Report 2027 has been created to help organizations understand what is changing, why it matters, and how to move forward with confidence. Our goal is to provide practical insights that help security leaders make informed decisions and build more resilient organizations," he added.
Key findings from the Global Technology Perspectives Report 2027
The report identifies several trends expected to shape security programs in the coming years:
AI advances towards main security operations
AI is advancing beyond the experimentation phase and is becoming part of everyday security operations. Organizations are using AI to improve detection accuracy, reduce false alarms, streamline investigations, and make security information more accessible, while maintaining proper governance and human oversight.
Cloud solutions are transforming security architecture
Cloud platforms and remote services are becoming fundamental components of modern security strategies. Organizations are increasingly seeking centralized visibility, greater system resilience, and the ability to proactively manage security environments across multiple locations.
Drones and robots expand visibility and reach
Drones and robotics are beginning to move from being concepts of emerging technology to practical applications. Interest in drone detection, automated patrols, and greater situational awareness in complex and high-risk environments continues to grow.
The resilience of the ecosystem is essential for solid physical security
As security systems become increasingly connected and data-driven, organizations are placing greater emphasis on cybersecurity, data integrity, and long-term system resilience. Security leaders are increasingly recognizing that trust in security systems is as important as their functionality.
Beyond technological trends, the report concludes that organizations are increasingly prioritizing reliability, proactive risk management, operational resilience, and business continuity when making security investment decisions. Security is no longer seen solely as a protective function, but as a strategic capability that helps support broader business objectives.
"The pace of innovation in our sector continues to accelerate," Byerly stated. "Organizations that understand how technology, operations, and trust interact will be better positioned to adapt to the challenges and opportunities of the future," he concluded.
The Global Technology Outlook Report 2027 is now available and provides practical guidance to help organizations align technology investments with their long-term security and business objectives.
