Monday, 11 August, 2025
HAMILTON, NZ – Following the global impact of its 2025 Security Industry Trends Report, Gallagher Security is once again calling on security professionals and industry stakeholders to add their voice to a new year of research.
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.
Building on last year’s insights
Gallagher’s 2025 report helped organizations around the world better understand the changes sweeping across the security landscape. 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. “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.”
Key areas of focus
This year’s survey explores the shifting priorities, pressures, and possibilities facing security professionals. 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 AI 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
A tool for the entire industry
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. 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.
Now is the time to weigh in and help shape the conversations that will define the next 12 months.
