“Escalating transition set to shape 2024’s roadmap” predicts Gallagher Security

Following on from a turbulent 12 months in which supply chain disruptions, labour market shifts and global financial uncertainty continued to impact the security industry, Gallagher’s Security Industry Trends Report predicts that the defining trend of 2024 will be an increasing speed of transition away from basic defences to innovative solutions. It’s going to be a charge that’s led by current global pain-points.

“The security industry has been moving towards a digital change for years,” explained Gallagher Security’s CEO Mark Junge, “and given what we’ve learned from conversations with end users, channel partners and consultants across the globe, that change is about to take off. 2024 will be a year of escalating transition.”

Junge continued: “The main points of friction are the lingering aftershocks from the pandemic, such as increases in theft, skills shortages and supply chain disruptions. As education around innovative security solutions becomes more and more widespread, professionals are increasingly seeing how investing in these technologies can help in alleviating the pain-points. This is changing how they view the potential of their security solutions for protection and to significantly contribute towards wider business objectives.”
