The security industry worldwide is facing a serious challenge related to the shortage of skilled professionals, a problem increasingly described as one of the key bottlenecks for the sector’s further development. According to projections and reports for 2026, the gap in the availability of qualified personnel is unlikely to narrow anytime soon, highlighting the need for reliable data that can support the search for effective solutions.

To gain a clearer understanding of the current labor market situation, partners of a&s Adria from the platform asmag.com have launched a comprehensive survey aimed at mapping workforce challenges across the security industry.

The survey seeks to answer several important questions: which positions in the sector have become almost impossible to fill, how the post-pandemic labor market has changed the needs and expectations of companies, and what steps the industry should take to attract and retain new talent.

Completing the survey takes only two minutes, and participants will have the chance to win a US$50 voucher. The results are expected to help companies, integrators, and manufacturers better understand recruitment challenges and define future workforce development strategies within the security sector.

G4S has released the World Security Report 2025, a global report analysing the most significant security risks companies face worldwide. The report provides insights based on the perspectives of security leaders and institutional investors, revealing how organisational security priorities are shifting in an increasingly unstable global environment.

According to the findings, 44% of security leaders believe that economic instability will be the top factor impacting security in the coming year. At the same time, a growing number of companies are facing risks that go beyond traditional security threats. One of the prominent trends highlighted in the report is the increase in threats of violence toward company executives, noted by 42% of surveyed security leaders. This trend is further reinforced by investor sentiment: 97% of global institutional investors say that providing physical protection for executives of companies they invest in is extremely important.

The report also points to the growing impact of information manipulation on the business environment. As many as 75% of companies report being targeted by misinformation or disinformation campaigns, demonstrating how reputational and information-related risks are becoming an important part of corporate security strategies.

In addition, the research shows that key executives have a significant influence on company value. Seven out of ten investors believe that the contribution of key executives represents 30% or more of a company’s total value, further underlining the importance of protecting them.

IDIS emphasizes that modern video surveillance is increasingly evolving from a passive system into a proactive security technology, particularly through the use of artificial intelligence at the network edge. In response to growing security requirements, IDIS introduces Edge AI Plus cameras powered by advanced IDIS Deep Learning Analytics Pro technology. These solutions enable crowd detection, abandoned object alerts, and fall detection, providing security teams with more precise real-time situational awareness. According to the company, this approach significantly improves response times and overall operational efficiency of security systems.

IDIS highlights that the focus is no longer solely on recording, but on analyzing and identifying potential incidents before they escalate. By embedding advanced video analytics directly into the cameras, the load on central systems is reduced while overall system reliability is increased. This concept is particularly well suited for environments with high pedestrian traffic and elevated security risks.

IDIS states that Edge AI Plus cameras represent an important step toward a smarter, more efficient, and more resilient approach to modern security.
