Value of Physical Security 

Physical security is a critical driver of corporate value, with 92% of investors and 82% of CSOs agreeing it needs to be a higher strategic priority. A single incident can slash a public company's value by an average of 32%. To counter this, companies are increasing budgets for new technology and training.

The Changing Security Workforce

While technology advances, people remain the cornerstone of security. The latest report reveals that 87% of security leaders believe their teams are vital, yet face critical challenges in recruitment and retention that impact morale and capacity.

AI and Tech

Technology is a strategic security asset, not a silver bullet. While 47% of CSOs are prioritizing investment in new tech, the real value lies in how it enhances human capabilities. Our latest report shows how AI-powered tools are improving threat detection and accelerating incident response, but implementation costs and industry skill gaps remain key barriers.
