6 ways AI could benefit physical security teams

Advances in AI (artificial intelligence) have the potential to impact on almost every industry on the planet - and the physical security sector is no different.

From crime detection and prediction, through to preventative security measures and analytics, there are some key areas where the technology is already coming into its own.

Indeed, at Venture Security we strive to make the best use of technology to continually enhance our services and the customer experience. This saw us become the first security company in the region to offer fully digital, cutting-edge security management for our customers.

On the event security and specialist operations side, we are also leading the way, thanks to a partnership with security technology specialist, Halo. You can find out more about how we have enhanced our security operations for venues and events.

So, how might AI benefit commercial security?

1. Security operations

There are many ways that AI could be successfully integrated within security operations. It could be used to help streamline and automate processes, to improve efficiency and reduce the risk of human error. The use of AI could also free up time for security personnel, so they can focus on other important tasks.

2. Incident response

AI could assist with incident response in a number of ways too, such as by providing real-time data analysis and situational awareness that supports security teams with their decision-making. For example, AI algorithms have the potential to help identify the severity of an incident, suggest an appropriate response and provide relevant information to help officers manage it effectively.

3. Threat detection and risk management

One of the key benefits of AI is its ability to quickly analyse large datasets to identify trends and patterns. For security teams, this can be invaluable for supporting proactive risk management. By identifying vulnerabilities, predicting potential threats and recommending preventive measures, AI can help organisations get proactive and take any steps necessary to minimise risk.

4. Video surveillance

As well as analysing large data sets, AI can also be useful for analysing other sources of data, such as video feeds and sensor data. The use of AI makes it possible to conduct this kind of analysis in real-time and to automatically detect any potential issues. For example, it can alert security personnel to suspicious behaviour and objects and quickly dismiss false alerts. This advanced capability makes video surveillance even more efficient and also enables a quicker response to potential threats.

5. Access control systems

Access control systems are becoming more and more sophisticated, thanks to AI. For example, the technology can help with the integration of biometrics – systems which use biological characteristic to identify an individual, such as fingerprints and facial recognition. This can help make access control both more secure and efficient, removing the need for physical credentials to be checked. AI can also help spot irregular access patterns and security breaches.

6. Perimeter security

Another area AI could be useful is for perimeter security systems. By monitoring and analysing data from cameras, sensors and other security devices, the technology could be used to help detect unauthorised access attempts and breaches of the perimeter. In addition, it has the potential to better differentiate between normal and suspicious behaviour, providing effective early warnings and triggering appropriate responses rather than breeding complacency through false alarms.
