How VR & AI are transforming training in the security industry – SkillCampVR in DSD 3 | 2025

In the latest issue of DSD – Der Sicherheitsdienst (3 | 2025), published by BDSW, our CEO Pavel Druzhkov explains how Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence are transforming training and professional development in the security sector: moving from passive listening to interactive practice, where even rare, critical situations can be realistically trained, and errors are analyzed in detail.

What is the article about?

• Risk-free practice: VR immerses employees in typical and exceptional operational scenarios. Mistakes become a learning tool, processes can be safely tested and measurably improved. This boosts motivation, focus, and pass rates.
• Wide applicability: From aviation security processes (e.g., passenger and baggage checks) to traditional security services like facility or event protection – VR makes training location- and time-flexible, while also enhancing employer attractiveness.
• AI as a multiplier: An intelligent assistant answers professional questions in real-time, referring to standards (e.g., DIN 77200, § 34a GewO) and internal guidelines, recognizes individual learning patterns, and recommends tailored further training.
