Artificial intelligence will set the agenda for security in 2021 - Patriot One Technologies Inc.

At its annual "Securing New Ground" conference, the Security Industry Association (SIA) identified the ten megatrends that will define security going into 2021. Perhaps unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence is at the top of the list, followed by cybersecurity of physical security and predictive data analytics, with the movement to service models rounding out the list. Overall, the trends illustrate the ever-evolving role that technology plays in modern security, particularly when it comes to threat detection. Artificial intelligence, especially applications like deep learning, could help security teams better detect and respond to threats. Furthermore, with many security teams working remotely due to COVID-19, physical spaces have new security needs that can't be addressed immediately on-site.
