SHAPING THE FUTURE OF PERIMETER DEFENCE
James Atherton, Development Manager at Chubb Fire & Security, explores the transformative impact of AI on perimeter defence and how technological advancements can enhance security across diverse environments.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly ascended to become the cornerstone of modern perimeter defence strategies, revolutionising traditional security measures with its capability for proactive and intelligent system enhancements. The Security Industry Association’s 2024 Megatrends report vividly highlights AI as the most transformative technology sweeping across the security landscape today. According to the report, AI is pivotal not only in enhancing operational effectiveness and efficiency but also in its unique capacity to predict and pre-empt potential threats, thus reshaping the security sector into a more anticipatory and adaptive field.
At Chubb, we are deploying AI to meet the complex and evolving security demands of our customers in the UK. By integrating AI into our security solutions, we are not just responding to incidents but also predicting them, ensuring a rapid and intelligent response.
Revolutionising traditional security Traditionally, perimeter defence relied heavily on physical barriers such as fences and walls, complemented by CCTV cameras and access control systems. At Chubb, we are pioneering the integration of AI to evolve these conventional methods into dynamic, less intrusive security measures.
Our advanced CCTV systems now employ video analytics technologies including behaviour analysis, object detection, and facial recognition. These systems are designed not just to monitor but to intelligently analyse and respond to potential security threats, allowing us to shift from reactive to proactive security measures.
Expanding technological frontiers Our exploration of AI technology extends to several innovative applications that are setting new standards in the industry. We are collaborating with leading CCTV

manufacturers to integrate capabilities such as detection of specific behaviours like smoking or vaping, which are subtle yet critical for maintaining secure environments.
“In urban areas, AI is used to manage the complexity of securing densely populated spaces."
Furthermore, the advent of drone technology has prompted us to develop AI-driven systems for drone detection and neutralisation, a critical need highlighted by recent global security challenges. Our AI systems are equipped to autonomously detect, track, and address drone threats, significantly reducing the reliance on human monitoring and intervention.
Navigating integration challenges Integrating AI into existing security infrastructures is a complex challenge that requires a nuanced approach. The primary hurdle is ensuring interoperability among diverse systems and managing the vast data they generate. To address these issues, Chubb has developed proprietary solutions like our ADACS platform, which allows for
