The report identifies the seven trends that will directly impact businesses worldwide in 2026.

A resource for business leaders, security professionals, and IT managers, the 2026 Trends report provides information, analysis, and tips about privacy protection, expanding regulations, public safety, and how AI-enhanced video surveillance has profoundly improved the detection and deterrence of threats, criminal activity, and other security concerns.

The seven trends are summarised as follows:

• Cloud-based AI is now the default, not the exception
• Enterprise cloud adoption reaches a tipping point
• Regulation grows as a foundational business reality
• Privacy and PII protection become the operational standard
• Incidence response gives way to active readiness
• Gun detection emerges as a critical feature
• Parking becomes a key operational driver
