A new generation of young professionals are joining the industry who may not have considered security as a career path previously thanks to others that have paved the way through their dedication and successes.
Today’s security professional is part of a multicultural workforce and represents a wide variety of ethnic, racial, religious and gender backgrounds. Looking back, in 1990, there were very few women working in the security sector. Flash forward to 2021, and many women are gravitating to the field who are attracted to the wide array of opportunities that are available.
Security is one of the fastest-growing professional careers worldwide. Career prospects range from entry-level security officer and administrative positions to system integration specialists and private investigators to directors of security at corporations and organizations around the world. Terrorism, economic crime, identity theft and workplace violence have led to increased demand for security services. Global security service revenues are forecast to rise 3.6% per year to $263 billion in 2024, according to Freedonia.
