Gallagher Security Opens 2026 Global Trends Survey Participation

HAMILTON, New Zealand – Gallagher Security is once again calling on security professionals and industry stakeholders to add their voice to a new year of research with its annual survey on the latest trends and what’s ahead for the sector.

The 2026 Security Industry Trends Survey is now open and is designed to uncover the shifts, challenges and strategic priorities shaping the next era of security. From integrators and consultants to IT professionals and end users, the survey is a unique opportunity to contribute insights and shape the future direction of the industry.

Gallagher’s 2025 report “helped organizations around the world better understand the changes sweeping across the security landscape,” according to the company announcement. From a deep dive into mobile credentials to revealing just how heavily trust and relationships influence end user decisions, the report “served as a valuable planning tool for teams navigating digital transformation, budget pressures and new technologies.”

“This survey and report are grounded in our belief that sharing knowledge freely makes the entire industry stronger,” says Mark Junge, chief executive at Gallagher Security, in the announcement. “Over the past year, I’ve heard directly from a number of security professionals about how useful the 2025 report was in shaping their strategy and contextualizing change.

“That’s why we’re committed to making the 2026 report even more valuable and something the entire global security community can benefit from,” he says.

What to Expect in the Security Industry Trends Survey

This year’s survey “explores the shifting priorities, pressures and possibilities facing security professionals,” according to the Gallagher Security announcement.

Key areas of focus include:

  • The leading security goals end users are prioritizing – and the most common barriers holding them back
  • The practical challenges facing installations, system upgrades, and broader digital transformation efforts
  • The evolving expectations around artificial intelligence in security and where the hype is – or isn’t – aligning with real-world planning
  • Whether and how organizations are preparing for quantum threats
  • How security teams are redefining their value: from a traditional cost center to a strategic business enabler

The 2026 Security Industry Trends Report, built on this survey’s findings, will be a freely available resource “to help the industry think more clearly and act more confidently,” according to the Gallagher Security announcement.

By participating, professionals at every level “can help shine a light on what’s working, what’s changing and what still needs to be solved,” the announcement says.

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
