Is Smart IoT the terminator of the security&protection industry?

At every era node, security has different advancements and is constantly upgraded and developed in the evolution of technology, thus composing a magnificent chapter of continuous innovation and development in the security industry.

After more than 40 years of development, the security industry has become very mature in terms of both market and technology, and the market has reached its "ceiling". Against this background, the industry is looking forward to breaking through and finding a new growth pole.

When AI, big data, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, 5G and other technologies collide and merge with security technology, people find that security is no longer the same as before, whether from the perspective of technological development trends or application scenarios.

Security has become a business unit of AIoT.

AIoT is squeezing the living space of traditional security companies, but it has also become a new engine to drive the innovation, upgrading and development of the security industry.

As a result, security giants began to strategically upgrade their corporate positioning. It seems that overnight, security has entered the era of intelligent Internet of Things. Intelligent Internet of Things has become a new outlet for the security industry.

Intelligent Internet of Things technology is one of the important technologies in digital transformation, and one of the characteristics of digital transformation is the integration of information and physical objects. In the past, security companies were mainly engaged in government business. When government demand gradually becomes saturated, the digital transformation of various industries has spawned huge new market demands.

Smart IoT technology is one of the most important technologies in digital transformation. One of the characteristics of digital transformation is the integration of IoT and information. In the past, security companies mainly focused on government business. As government demand gradually becomes saturated, the digital transformation of various industries has spawned huge new market demands.

AIoT can help realize the digitization and intelligent connection of all things, and finally form an intelligent ecological system.

Each change of security technology is like changing the track. Practice has proved that those who change in time are very likely to achieve overtaking. Those who wait and see, waver, and change in time may fall behind and be passive.

On the surface, it seems that the security "table" is almost finished. Due to the arrival of AIoT, a new table was opened. The dishes have just started to be served at this table. Is it really like this?

Smart IoT is a technology, not an industry

In recent years, with the implementation of emerging technologies such as 5G, AI, IoT, big data, and cloud computing, the pace of digital transformation in various industries has accelerated. The application of security technologies such as video surveillance is no longer limited to security prevention, but has extended to more scenarios, making the boundaries of security increasingly blurred.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, many security companies no longer liked others to call themselves security companies, as if they were old-fashioned when they said they were doing security, and even felt that the company would lose a lot of orders because of this.

Security becoming a business unit of AIoT will make security companies embarrassed.

Since AIoT provides a broader stage, why can't security companies take the stage and become the protagonist of AIoT? As long as you have comprehensive AIoT technology and solution implementation capabilities.

With the high integration of emerging technologies such as AI, big data, cloud computing, and 5G with the security industry, the boundaries of the security industry are becoming increasingly blurred, and the application scenarios of security are constantly expanding and extending. With the empowerment of AIoT, it brings huge growth momentum to the industry.

Digital cities, digital governments, digital transportation, digital urban management, and even the digital transformation of thousands of industries under the digital economy are inseparable from the technical foundation of AI and AIoT.

The advancement of security can basically be divided into a path: analog - digital - AI - Internet of Things.

The development of things has its own rules, and the development of technology also has its own path. Without the previous preparation, there will be no subsequent results. Therefore, it is certain that AIoT is not the end, but a milestone. It can also be seen as the starting point of a new journey.

AIoT has become a trend. However, the essence of security has not changed, but due to technical limitations, the demand for digital transformation in all walks of life has not been released in the past.

Security has evolved from product-oriented to solution-oriented, and then to today's AIoT empowerment. It is the guidance of technology and the promotion of market demand. However, just like the market characteristics of each stage of security, they are only changes and advancements in technology and demand, and have not changed the essence of the industry. Therefore, whether it is AI or smart Internet of Things, it is just a technical means or capability, not an industry. The impact of AI on the security industry can be said to be the most profound, but it has not changed security, and AIoT is difficult to change. The foundation of security is very deep, and the nature of the industry will not be changed by the influence of a new technology. "Big security" has been called for many years, but in the end it has not become "big" and has returned to security.

The so-called "de-security" does not mean that security has been marginalized. No matter how technology develops, the basic color of security has not changed. Technology can empower the security industry, but it has not changed the security industry. What has changed is that security has achieved continuous value improvement in extended applications.

When the AI wave hit, security companies did not lose themselves, did not abandon their main business and blindly pursue AI, but took advantage of the situation to fight a beautiful battle of "security + AI". In the end, it was proved that the choice of security companies was correct.

We believe that security companies will not lose themselves in the AIoT track. No matter how the market changes, I believe that the essence of security will not change. Therefore, in the large AIoT industry chain, we still have to do what we are best at and still focus on video, because this is our greatest advantage and our value.
