Artificial intelligence, digitalisation, cyber security, sustainability, professionalism: these are the drivers of SICUREZZA 2021.

There were two main trends on offer: integration, which is now moving beyond the concept of a single product to the benefit of management platforms and complex ecosystems, and digitalisation.

These trends are profoundly linked, because digitalisation is the universal language that allows all technologies to respond to the needs of interconnectivity that are today the basis of security and building automation systems.

The solutions are now, in fact, all integrated - from home automation to anti-intrusion and, great news, to fire-fighting systems - so they can be managed remotely via app and the same maintenance can be done online or in the cloud.

Another feature is the smart potential: in the CCTV field, many proposals have been presented with onboard artificial intelligence and deep learning systems, which allow complex reading and analysis of collected data that previously required human intervention and a great deal of effort to be carried out automatically and in a short time. The eye camera is becoming more and more intelligent and can be integrated into solutions tailored to each environment, such as advanced access control systems, which are now essential for managing and monitoring possible crowds or for authorising access to controlled areas.

Cyber-security becomes a fundamental aspect to protect the data that increasingly smart systems detect and store. This is a very important topic that has found ample space at SICUREZZA thanks to dedicated training events.

But evolving technology requires people who can keep up and be advocates for change. For this reason, the need to make expert technicians of all levels recognizable through increasingly targeted certifications emerged strongly at the event.
