Gallagher: Security Trends Shaping 2025

Security Systems Evolve: From Risk Mitigation to Value Creation

The security industry is undergoing a significant transformation, according to the latest Gallagher Security Industry Trends Report. Security systems are no longer just a safety net against potential threats; they’re increasingly seen as tools to drive value across various aspects of an organization.

Gallagher, a company renowned for its integrated access control systems, isn’t just watching this trend unfold. As detailed in our exclusive white paper, the company is actively shaping this evolution.

“Security is moving beyond mere prevention. It’s now about fostering resilience, boosting efficiency, and achieving smarter business outcomes,” Joe Fan, Regional Marketing Manager Asia at Gallagher Security, explained to asmag.com.

In practice, this means empowering end users to “reduce energy consumption, lower insurance costs, improve air quality, and even maintain critical hospital operations during cyberattacks.”

The Gallagher Security Industry Trends Report 2025 pinpoints several key factors driving this “security-plus” trend:

• Partnership as a value driver: End users are seeking long-term security partners capable of unlocking actionable intelligence and supporting smarter business decisions, rather than simply providing technology.

• Ease of use matters: As security systems are implemented in more diverse contexts, intuitive interfaces are crucial, especially as non-technical staff members increasingly incorporate them into their workflows.

• Mobile credentials keep their momentum: Adoption continues to rise, although many organizations prefer a blend of mobile and physical credentials.

• Growing influence of IT: Cybersecurity, compliance, and hybrid cloud models mean IT departments are now playing a central role in security-related decisions.

• AI adoption accelerates: From automation to predictive analytics, AI-driven insights are becoming essential for optimizing operations.

Gallagher’s solutions are designed to address these priorities. One example is OneLink, which enables organizations to connect remote sites to their central location while maintaining seamless integration. Gallagher prioritizes a user experience that remains smooth and efficient, regardless of the system’s complexity.
