ISC Brasil 2025: A Strategic Snapshot of Brazil’s Security and Risk Management Evolution
The ISC Brasil 2025, held in São Paulo, showcased the latest trends in the electronic security and risk management sector in Brazil — even though it presented a more restrained scale compared to the previous year. The absence of industry giants such as Intelbras, Hikvision, and TP-Link, who were present in 2024, was not enough to overshadow the event’s strategic importance. It brought together a strong mix of global and national players. Exhibitors such as Axon (represented by the Oakmont Group), Milestone Systems, Suprema Inc., and Bosch Security Systems dominated the aisles, alongside major Brazilian companies such as Telcabos, Commbox, and Digicon.
The main highlight among exhibitors and product portfolios was the market’s maturity, which now transcends hardware sales to focus on comprehensive and intelligent protection ecosystems, with physical-digital integration at the center of discussions. The analysis of displayed portfolios revealed a clear and irreversible dominance of AI-based and integrated system solutions. IP and thermal cameras with embedded analytics, facial biometrics and RFID access control systems, and Video Management Software (VMS) formed the backbone of most offerings.
A strong convergence toward ESRM (Enterprise Security Risk Management) frameworks was evident, signaling that the Brazilian market is moving toward unified risk management, where regulatory compliance and data protection are as critical as intrusion detection. Security is no longer a collection of isolated products — it has become a strategic business platform.
The technical trends shaping the conference reflected this growing complexity, pointing toward a future of agile and predictive decision-making. Topics such as Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) for threat analysis and Edge AI for decentralized data processing illustrated how far the technological frontier has advanced. Security has expanded its scope to address modern challenges, including critical infrastructure protection, electric vehicle security, and specialized vertical solutions — notably Agro 360°, focused on bringing cutting-edge technology to the agricultural sector. The era of reactive monitoring is definitively over, giving way to a proactive and intelligent approach.
The human and management aspects also took center stage, highlighting that technology is only part of the equation. In the conference annex, panels on women’s leadership in security, the role of managers in policy enforcement, and team management in an AI-dominated world added strategic depth to the event. The message was clear: investing in complex algorithms means little without a solid organizational culture and leaders prepared for emerging challenges.
The exhibitor landscape confirmed the event’s B2B and high-value nature, with a strong presence of global integrators like Convergint and specialized distributors. The sponsor lounge, featuring names such as Control iD and Mentore Bank, underscored the growing link between physical and transactional security. Companies like Pinkerton, with over 175 years of history, stood side by side with innovative startups — a vivid illustration of the fusion between tradition and disruption defining the current industry moment.
