Security Trends for 2026: Why Proactive Perimeter Protection Is Becoming the New Standard
Date: Thursday February 12, 2026 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT
Exterior threats are now the leading driver of loss across retail, restaurant, and commercial business environments. From loitering, vandalism, and illegal dumping to repeat break-ins, more than 70% of security incidents begin outside the building - long before traditional alarms ever activate. At the same time, business owners and loss prevention teams are being asked to reduce incidents, control costs, and demonstrate measurable ROI across increasingly complex, multi-location operations.
This webinar is designed for business owners, loss prevention, asset protection, and security leaders who want to understand how the industry is shifting from reactive monitoring to proactive, perimeter-first protection as they plan for 2026 and beyond.
Join Interface Systems executives for a practical, real-world discussion on:
- Why the perimeter has become the most critical control point for preventing loss before it escalates
- How advances in AI and edge intelligence enable intent-based detection, not just motion alerts
- What effective human-in-the-loop monitoring looks like at scale and why it consistently outperforms alert-only approaches
- How proactive perimeter strategies reduce repeat offenders, unplanned cleanup costs, and operational disruption
- How expert security monitoring creates consistent security outcomes across retail, restaurant, and commercial portfolios
- Real-world results from a multi-location retailer that eliminated break-ins and reduced security activations by 65 percent
Participants will leave with clear, actionable insights they can apply to modernize perimeter security, protect people and property, and build scalable, outcome-driven programs aligned with the realities of 2026.
