This eighth annual report from Security Business is the result of a comprehensive research survey of the industry’s top security systems integrators and consultants, looking to assess the state of business in the security services marketplace.

As evidenced by the numbers in this report, the state of the security services industry remains exceptionally strong. Of those who responded, a whopping 89% are some degree of “optimistic” when it comes to their business prospects for the next 2-3 years.

From a technology perspective, artificial intelligence continues to grow beyond buzzword status and into tangible product offerings, services and enhancements that are truly beginning to drive integrator business growth as well as customer demand and satisfaction.

Another key area of focus for our survey this year is the continuing emergence of subscription-based services as a viable go-to-market strategy for integrators. While a significant portion of those surveyed report a low percentage of revenue coming from these types of services, more than half say they are contributing more than 10% to their business’s top-line revenue – a marked rise vs. our previous state of the industry survey results.
