PIDS: A Global Overview of Security Industry Trends

Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS) are used around the world to enhance perimeter security in various applications, such as military, government, critical infrastructure, commercial, and residential properties. However, some countries are more focused on PIDS than others, depending on their security needs, budget, and infrastructure.

Countries that are particularly focused on PIDS include the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Israel, China, and Japan. These countries have well-established security industries, advanced technologies, and a high demand for perimeter security. The United States, for example, has a well-established security industry and spends billions of dollars annually on perimeter security to protect its critical infrastructure.

In Europe, the use of PIDS has been growing steadily in recent years, particularly in countries such as France, Italy, and Spain, where there have been increased threats to critical infrastructure, such as airports, power plants, and transportation systems. Following a liberal opening of the European doors to varied populations around the world has led to a new European reality in which norms and regulations need to adapt.

Germany has also been increasing its focus on PIDS in recent years due to its growing concerns over terrorism and cyber attacks. Israel has been a leader in PIDS technology, particularly in the development of technologies such as video analytics and artificial intelligence that are used to improve perimeter security. France, on its end, has been investing heavily in PIDS to protect its airports, power plants, and transportation systems from terrorist attacks as well. Italy and Spain have also been increasing their focus on PIDS, particularly in the areas of energy, transportation, and government facilities.

In Asia, China and Japan are also investing heavily in PIDS technology to protect their critical infrastructure, particularly in the areas of transportation, energy, and telecommunications.

Overall, the use of PIDS is growing globally as individuals and organizations recognize the importance of perimeter security in protecting assets, information, and people from intruders.
