Interface Shares Its Top Security Industry Predictions for 2021
Interface Security Systems, a managed service provider delivering business security, managed network, UCaaS and business intelligence solutions to distributed enterprises, today shared its top predictions for the physical security industry.
2021 could prove to be almost as turbulent for the security industry as 2020. In the earlier part of the year, Interface expects that the industry will continue to grapple with the fallout from COVID-19 with possible disruptions to the equipment supply chain. However, assuming the industry can its critical workforce healthy and an effective vaccine is successfully deployed in Q2, the situation could improve very quickly. If restaurants, retailers and sporting/entertainment venues reopen en masse, and formerly vacant commercial buildings fill back up with workers in late Q2 and early Q3, the new challenge, particularly for systems integrators, will be to keep pace with the pent-up demand. The reopening of America will require the deployment of unprecedented security resources, from servicing and refreshing existing systems to the deployment of new solutions. The second half of 2021 could set the stage for the biggest demand shock the security industry has ever experienced.
