In 2025, corporate security priorities in Kenya are evolving rapidly. A recent industry report reveals an emerging trend: 83% of Kenyan firms plan to increase investment in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered security technologies in 2026 as organizations seek predictive, preventive capabilities rather than traditional reactive responses to threats.
This shift reflects a broader transition in the electronic security systems market, where AI-enabled platforms are increasingly integrated with access control, alarm systems, predictive analytics, and overall security infrastructure. Security leaders are responding to a complex threat environment characterized by rising civil unrest, economic pressures, and sophisticated intrusion techniques — with technologies that offer real-time anomaly detection and proactive threat notification.
The adoption of AI and predictive security technologies aligns with global trends in advanced security investment. AI-driven systems enhance situational awareness, streamline operational responses, and reduce reliance solely on physical security measures. These technologies also help organizations optimize resource allocation by providing actionable insights from connected sensors and security endpoints.
For the Kenyan market, this trend has specific implications. Businesses and institutions across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and other major centres are prioritizing integrated security solutions, combining AI-assisted analytics with biometric access control, advanced alarm systems, and perimeter security to protect people, property, and critical infrastructure. This approach supports not just threat response but strategic risk management across diverse sectors.
