The electronic security landscape has seen significant changes because of ever-evolving security threats. Don’t be left to the mercy of outdated security measures when protecting your most valued assets. At CGL Electronic Security, we stay ahead of the curve by providing our clients with best-of-breed security technologies to protect them from past, present, and future security threats.
What are the Top 5 Trends to Watch in 2025?
1. AI and Machine Learning for Smarter Security
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning continue to transform the security industry landscape. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning cannot only predict but also mitigate the risk of security incidents before they escalate.
AI-driven video analytics can effectively track abnormal behaviors and unauthorized access, detect potential loitering signs, and alert end-users to possible armed threats. Early detection systems allow security teams to take action faster than ever before. As Machine Learning models refine themselves by analyzing previous suspicious behavioral patterns, they can better anticipate future risks.
At CGL Electronic Security, we collaborate with clients and technology partners to mitigate potential threats before they occur.
2. Cloud-Based Security Solutions: Flexibility and Remote Access
Organizations continue to move from on-premise security systems to hybrid models or are moving to a cloud-based security system. Cloud-based systems are not only secure and budget-friendly they reduce the need for on-premise hardware and support services, but they also provide options for how security systems have typically been designed, installed, and managed.
CGL leverages cloud solutions to offer clients greater control and convenience, ensuring that the security systems are working as designed to provide the highest level of security.
3. Biometric Authentication: The Future of Access Control
Since its introduction, biometrics have been trying to fit into the everyday realm of security access control. Today, our security technology partners are making it easier than ever to implement biometrics as a primary access credential or part of a dual authentication protocol.
Biometrics are extremely unique as they’re difficult to replicate or bypass, hence providing a higher level of security than traditional access technologies.
CGL Electronic Security helps clients leverage biometric technologies to mitigate access risks and vulnerabilities.
4. Integrated Security Systems: A Unified Approach
The monitoring and management of disparate security systems have always been challenging and often lead to increased human error in trying to manage access, video, and intrusion detection effectively. Integrated security systems provide a unified approach to security by bridging the best-of-breed technologies into a comprehensive security system.
CGL Electronic Security leverages its industry expertise to integrate best-of-breed security systems, providing clients with better situational awareness through a more holistic security approach.
5. Cybersecurity and Physical Security Convergence
As more security devices are connected to the internet, the fine line between cyber and physical security has become blurred. Cybersecurity threats have increased, specifically against unprotected, un-updated, or old legacy security systems.
At CGL Electronic Security, we work directly with our clients to develop a plan to mitigate cyberattacks, so your security systems are less vulnerable to an attack.
Conclusion: Embrace the Future of Security
The world is changing, so it’s important to embrace emerging trends that provide the highest level of security when protecting our client’s most valuable assets.
The CGL Electronic Security team of industry professionals is here to help our clients prepare for the future by protecting their existing security systems. At the same time, we are future-proofing for what tomorrow might bring.
