As a result of the pandemic, we are now tasked with redefining what physical security is, and the efforts that any type of organization and industry must make to ensure employees and consumers can avoid potential health threats and community spread.
Just four short months ago, our idea of physical security was walking through the metal detectors at the airport or at large concert or sporting events. Physical security companies were tasked with looking for weapons or standing guard at a night club to make sure crowds didn’t get too rowdy. Physical security had a very specific meaning when 2020 began; it was all about protecting people from harm in crowded venues.
