In entry-level security roles, simple monitoring and patrol recording work is diminishing. Employers prefer candidates who can use smart security systems and have basic emergency response skills. Purely physical jobs have less room.
Security guards can upgrade to smart security administrators or emergency response coordinators: learn AI monitoring platform operations and data analysis, obtain security system certifications (e.g., CCTV, access control), and enhance first aid, firefighting skills. Future roles include managing smart security teams or transitioning to security consultants designing human-machine collaborative security for commercial venues.
