As we approach the close of 2025 and look ahead to a new year, Security Sales & Integration once again shares its annual Year-End Trend-Setting Technologies list. These are the solutions and innovations that are shaking up the physical and electronic security space.

For the second straight year, we consulted directly with our industry’s suppliers and distributors as we assessed which technologies belong on this prestigious list. We’re sharing this year’s honorees in three parts, starting today and continuing with five more products on both Wednesday and Friday of this week.

How the 2025 SSI Year-End Trend-Setting Technologies Were Selected

In selecting this year’s Trend-Setting Technologies list, we sought products and technologies that align with the latest upswings and ascendant trends in the security industry, including an increasing focus on access control and visitor management, the steady growth of cloud-based deployments, the rise of artificial intelligence for streamlining processes and boosting analytics, and products that combat the growing threat of gun violence.

You’ll find our editors’ selections for the 2025 SSI Year-End Trend-Setting Technologies initiative in the following pages. All product details, specifications and claims come from this year’s honorees. Selected companies and products are listed in alphabetical order by company name.
