Once a year, Global Guardian publishes an overview of recent global security developments. It is no shock that this year has been markedly different than years past. For over a year, the news cycle has been dominated by COVID-19, overshadowing many important events and trends that will shape the future safety and security concerns of global businesses and international travelers. The goal of this report is to highlight several of the stories that should be followed closely over the next 12-18 months.
Just as 9/11 changed the global security paradigm and the way we travel; the pandemic will also alter our travel practices, engender long-term shifts in business operations, and transform our threat perceptions. To meet these new challenges, Global Guardian offers an integrated suite of best-in-class security services that help clients identify and mitigate the risks of traveling and conducting business both overseas and domestically. These services include personnel tracking, emergency response, security and transportation support, intelligence and due diligence, medical support and transportation, emergency and custom aviation, cyber security, and video surveillance monitoring.
Global Guardian seamlessly integrates and delivers these capabilities 24-hours-a-day under the close guidance of its Operations Center.
