The challenges of protecting commercial organizations are growing every year. With AI now playing a dominating role, the security landscape is evolving quickly. As more companies begin to embrace AI tech in their security strategies, one trend we anticipate is that security systems will be used more proactively rather than reactively. Looking ahead to 2025, here are some of the commercial security trends to watch for.

Embracing advanced video monitoring (AVM)

Advanced Video Monitoring is poised to become a commercial security trend in 2025 thanks to its integration of cutting-edge AI-driven analytics. Coupled with real-time monitoring and remote access, AVM can be used to prevent crime before it happens. When a camera alerts the monitoring center of suspicious activity a live operator can use speakers to warn a prospective trespasser to leave.

With increasing concerns over theft, vandalism, and safety compliance, companies are seeking comprehensive solutions that provide proactive threat detection and rapid incident response.

The ability to integrate video monitoring with other security systems creates a holistic security ecosystem, making it an invaluable asset for businesses aiming to protect their assets and ensure a safe environment for employees and customers.

Enhanced access control

When it comes to commercial organizations, access control requires the latest security to protect both people and data. Looking ahead to 2025, commercial access security trends are leaning toward having multiple points of security instead of relying on just one or two. A few of the trends we are seeing, according to Veris, include:

• Enhanced biometric authentication. Fingerprint scanning is good, but going into 2025, it’s important to take access control even more seriously. Facial recognition, iris scanning, and vein pattern recognition may play a bigger role. AI helps these systems to be more efficient, so foot traffic won’t be slowed down.
• Mobile-enabled access control. Smartphones allow for secure entry into buildings and help to avoid the use of key cards and physical keys, which is always a safety concern as they can be lost or stolen. QR codes and Bluetooth Low Energy technology provide quick and secure access with just a tap or scan.
• AI-powered access control. Veris states access control is moving to the next level with predictive and preventive security measures that will analyze data to detect unusual patterns, spot potential risks, and alert administrators in real time. AI even has the potential to anticipate security breaches before they happen.

Proactive threat detection with AI

We anticipate that in 2025 and beyond, security systems will play a more proactive role in preventing crime. Thanks to evolving AI features, like camera analytics, security systems are becoming capable of detecting threats and deterring crimes before they occur.

Camera analytics can identify faces, license plates, and problematic actions and flag them in real time. This way, security personnel can intervene before a crime occurs.

AI can also track digital patterns and irregularities, such as unusual access control behaviors, and flag them for review or intervention. This can prevent unauthorized access, theft, and other criminal behavior.

Commercial organization security in 2025 means staying informed of emerging threats and the solutions to combat them. It also means staying on top of technological advances to ensure you’re taking advantage of features that will protect your business.
