We were blessed to have a veritable honor roll of security industry heavyweights share their predictions on what changes could be coming to the sector in 2026 and beyond. Thanks to all of these industry leaders for their willingness to put themselves and their thoughts on the line by breaking out their crystal balls for us this year.
Many of this year’s prognostications included references to topics covered in the Security Industry Association’s 2026 Security Megatrends, while others gave us new things to consider about the next 12 months or more
If you missed any of the entries in this year’s series, or if you just want to keep track of whose predictions turn out to be the most accurate, we’ve gathered them all here for you.
