Cornerstone Security at Sectech 2025: Bringing the Latest Security Solutions to You
At Cornerstone Security, we know security needs aren’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you run a small business, manage a busy warehouse, oversee IT security, or are a commercial property manager (or anything in between!), staying informed about the right security technology for your premises is critical to keeping your people and assets safe.
That’s why last month our team attended Sectech 2025, New Zealand’s leading security technology event. It’s where the latest products, innovations, and ideas are showcased - and a great opportunity for us to stay across changes in the industry and updates from trusted suppliers.
While we were already familiar with many of the brands and products on display - having worked with them over the years - Sectech was still a valuable chance to explore new features, connect with key partners, and uncover a few hidden gems.
What is Sectech?
Sectech brings together security professionals and suppliers from across the country. For us, it’s a chance to get hands-on with emerging tech, see what’s new, and ensure the solutions we offer are practical, forward-thinking, and well-suited to the New Zealand market.
What We Found
Tailored Security Solutions
We saw systems designed to meet the specific needs of small businesses, warehouses, manufacturing, IT teams, consultants, and more. It reinforced our belief that every site is different — and security solutions should be tailored accordingly.Easy Control and Monitoring
Most systems now come with intuitive interfaces and mobile apps, allowing you to manage access and receive alerts in real-time, whether you’re onsite or remote. Getting the right information, at the right time, is no longer a future ideal - it’s available now. No more digging through hours of footage or arriving onsite only to find an issue that could’ve been flagged earlier.Flexible and Scalable
We’re seeing more systems that grow with your business. Whether it’s CCTV, alarms, or access control, the ability to add devices and features without replacing your existing setup makes ongoing improvements more affordable and future-proof.Reliable and Durable
Many of the products were on show as fully operational demos, which gave us the opportunity to test them hands-on. We're focused on providing technology that’s built to last and delivers consistent performance - because downtime isn’t an option when it comes to security.
What Was New and Exciting?
One standout at Sectech was the Gallagher SMB security solution - purpose-built for small to medium businesses across a range of industries. It’s an integrated platform that combines access control and intruder alarms into one easy-to-use system.
What makes Gallagher SMB a great fit:
All-in-One Security – Manage access and monitor alarms in one streamlined platform.
User-Friendly Management – Simple controls, with mobile access for busy business owners and managers.

It’s a system that suits many of our clients - from IT managers who want smarter monitoring, to warehouse operators who need robust access control, to consultants and residential clients looking for dependable, scalable security.
