Intrusion Systems in Transition: Skills, Software, and the Next Generation of Security
Intrusion technologies are entering a new phase of convergence where traditional hardware expertise meets software-driven intelligence. However, the shifting skill requirements across engineering, installation, system design, and analytics are creating challenges for both employers and the broader industry. This session will examine the current skills gap in intrusion systems, the balance between hardware innovation and software-enabled capabilities, and the long-term trends that will define the category, from automation to cloud connectivity to predictive monitoring. Panellists will highlight where the sector must invest next to build a resilient and future-ready workforce.
