GardaWorld’s Post

The digitalization of critical infrastructure has provided plenty of opportunity for growth and community development, however, it also presents new vulnerabilities. Working with a leading international critical infrastructure company, GardaWorld has helped them navigate these new challenges with a comprehensive full security services provision for a project in North Africa. To create a more comprehensive risk management strategy, understanding the broader threats facing emergent markets was essential. They leveraged: - Static Site & Mobile Security to a remotely located power plant construction site and life support camp (armed and unarmed as required) with 97% local content supported by experienced, dedicated expatriate management. - Journey Management services into, exiting and around the country - Initial and ongoing Site Reconnaissance and risk assessments - Executive Protection - Evacuation Planning - Crisis Response Management - Operational intelligence collection and reporting Find out more about protecting critical infrastructure companies from cyber threats and more: https://lnkd.in/dz2Yh3Q #CriticalInfrastructure #RiskManagement #GeopoliticalRisk #GardaWorld

The emphasis on integrated security services is crucial, especially in a region where urban growth and security challenges are rapidly evolving. The approach to combining security risk management with sustainable solutions aligns perfectly with the growing need for resilient infrastructure. #Security #Sustainability

Experts in physical security have examined several definitions provided by researchers, ranging from basic locks to infrastructure or asset protection. In my capacity as a budding security specialist, allow me to define "physical security" as stated below. _Physical security can be defined as those means that seem to encompass the strategic security management systems to safeguard the factors of production i.e Land, Labour, capital and Entrepreneurs. (Ernest Ofosu Larbi, 2023)._ The following discusses the two phases of the above-mention definition. Phase 1. Examining the above definition, phase 1 concentrates on how the factors of production—land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurs—are secured or rest by implementing technical and physical strategic security measures designed to mitigate security threats and addresses the security readiness. Phase 2. Phase 2 of this concept focuse with the strategic security management system, which deals with, and encourages an organization's people protection, information security, workplace violence, threat assessment, and culture of digital safety or cyber security awareness among team members. This is just a quick sharing of thoughts. Please let me know what you think about this post by leaving a comment. S E C U R I T Y Together, We Win !!! Cc. Richard Ampoe , Joseph Kudjo , Eric A.

Hi Friends, Offshore Fields vs Onshore Fields Security risks Today I want to share with you the difference between offshore and onshore fields from a security point of view, based on my own experience. If you see it differently, please make your comments. From a security perspective, offshore and onshore fields present distinct challenges and require different approaches to ensure safety and protection. Here are the key differences between offshore and onshore fields in terms of security: Offshore Fields Isolation and Accessibility: Offshore fields are remote and hard to access quickly, complicating emergency responses. Environmental Hazards: Adverse weather and sea conditions can impact safety and evacuation efforts. Security Measures: Ensuring perimeter security is challenging; complex evacuation relies on air or sea transport. Cybersecurity: Reliance on remote systems increases the risk of cyber-attacks. Piracy and Terrorism: Vulnerable to maritime threats, requiring advanced maritime security. Onshore Fields Accessibility: Easier access by road allows for quicker emergency responses. Environmental Hazards: Threats from natural disasters require robust preparedness plans. Security Measures: Physical security measures like fencing and barriers are easier to implement. Cybersecurity: More robust IT infrastructure supports advanced cybersecurity. Local Threats: Susceptible to sabotage, theft, and vandalism; good community relations and local law enforcement coordination are essential. Summary Offshore fields require specialized security due to their remote locations and unique threats. Onshore fields benefit from easier access but face distinct challenges related to local conditions and potential threats. Both require tailored security strategies and robust contingency plans to address their unique risks.    Halim B            

A door access control system is a critical component of any modern security infrastructure. These business security systems ensure the safety and security of commercial premises while protecting assets and personnel.
