Sounds like new engine computer time to me. Take it (if you can get it started) to a dealer for a diagnosis. Even if you do it yourself it will not be cheap. You could try finding an engine controller in a junkyard and do a swap to see if that gets it, but you will be stabbing in the dark.

Sometimes the security system shuts down the ignition so you turn the key in the door lock back and forth, then try to start it. Otherwise your battery might be bad or simply a low on charge. Charge your battery or jump it then try it. If nothing then you may have a bad starter.
