Drone Detection Technology on the Rise in 2025

Concerns about the safety and security implications of drones have been growing over the last several years. Close calls or even collisions with aircraft are common, and the use of drones for espionage is a known problem.

Now, the Securitas Risk Intelligence Center (RIC) has identified espionage and sabotage by drones as a top-five security threat in its 2025 Intelligence Estimate.

The Risk Intelligence Center is one the industry’s leading sources for actionable Risk Intelligence for business. Its annual Intelligence Estimate highlights the most pressing global security challenges so that clients can stay ahead of the evolving risk landscape.

In this year’s report, the RIC notes that drones are relatively inexpensive and continue to grow in sophistication for cyber attacks and corporate spying. They also present challenges for security professionals: How do you tell the difference between harmless recreational use and malicious intent? According to RIC’s assessment, these factors along with greater attention from governments are likely to drive increased investment in drone detection.
