Security managers have the difficult challenge of making sure each of their employees is doing their job properly, even though they are in different locations and must perform different duties. An integrated security approach that includes simple, reliable technology tools can minimize human error and streamline security patrols and processes. 

The nonprofit National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) will provide focused training on missing and exploited children, correct reporting, and signs of trafficking to more than 100,000 security officers.

Allied Universal has partnered with Truckers Against Trafficking to offer online training to more than 300,000 security professionals on recognition and reporting of human trafficking.

Moderna disclosed that it spent a modest amount on security for CEO Stéphane Bancel last year and other Moderna executives in the $1 million range, though it had previously spent nothing on executive protection.

Allied Universal can officially complete its acquisition of G4S - ending what was a long takeover journey with multiple bids from companies around the globe. 

Bamburi Cement, based in Kenya, is the largest manufacturer of cement in Eastern Africa, producing around 5,000 tons every day. While the company knew it needed to beef up security to mitigate risk and protect the facilities from an increase in organized crime, the trick was finding a solution that wouldn't interrupt business operations. 

If security forces are going to perform more functions, which they should...they need additional training. More training for your security teams is an expensive proposition, but an all-important one. 

The International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) is announcing today that funding has been secured for a security research project that will aim to provide comprehensive data on the roles and responsibilities of today's security officers, including insights into their ever-evolving role.

In the latest twist in the bidding war to purchase guarding company G4S, GardaWorld  declined to raise its bid for the company, moving Allied Universal into what appears to be the winning position.

No, the battle over G4S is not over. The takeover of G4S will come down to a head-to-head auction between the remaining two bidders (GardaWorld and Allied Universal) that will commence at the end of February.
