Security is constantly changing, and at Securitas USA, we share insights every month to help organizations stay ahead of evolving risks. In August, our articles explored how to plan for the right level of protection, the future of mobility and technology in security, and even what’s next for air travel.
Here’s a roundup in case you missed any of this month’s content:
Temporary or long-term security? Finding the right fit
Not every organization needs the same type of security at the same time. For some, a short-term solution is the perfect way to support special events, seasonal operations, or construction projects. Others benefit from a long-term partnership that integrates with their daily business operations and strategic goals.
In this article, we break down the advantages of both approaches and share how businesses can determine which solution best fits their current needs. Whether you’re considering a temporary boost in coverage or a lasting security presence, planning ahead helps your people, property, and reputation remain protected.
TSA isn’t ready to allow water bottles nationwide, experts say
Air travel continues to change, but one familiar restriction is staying in place, for now. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is not yet ready to lift its nationwide ban on liquids over 3.4 ounces, despite pilot programs and technological advances that could eventually make it possible.
Our blog takes a closer look at the reasons behind the delay, the security challenges of liquid screening, and what this means for travelers. The article from the Washington Post features insights from Mike Evans, Director of the Risk Intelligence Center (RIC), who highlights the importance of maintaining strict standards while balancing passenger experience.
Inside the remote guarding center
What does it look like when human expertise and advanced technology work together to help stop threats in real time? Our Remote guarding center brings this to life every day. From monitoring suspicious activity across multiple sites to verifying alarms and assisting officers in the field, remote security services add a powerful layer of protection.
This article takes you inside the operation, showing how remote guarding combines video analytics, two-way communication, and proactive response to help clients reduce risk, deter incidents, and even cut costs. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at one of the fastest-growing areas of modern security.
Year-round protection: plan ahead with temporary security
Even when a need seems temporary, the best security outcomes come from planning ahead. This article highlights how businesses can use temporary services strategically as part of a broader plan for year-round protection.
From covering seasonal peaks and special events to supplementing long-term teams during transitions, temporary security can help provide the right coverage at the right time. By thinking ahead, organizations can assist their people and assets to stay safe without gaps or last-minute challenges.
The future of mobile guarding
Mobile security patrols aren’t what they used to be, and that’s a good thing. Once focused only on rounds and incident response, mobile guarding has transformed into a proactive, data-driven service that uses technology to help anticipate and prevent risks before they occur.
This article explores how we are leading the way in next-generation mobile guarding, from AI-powered insights and sustainable patrol vehicles to the seamless integration of remote services. By combining human expertise with digital tools, today’s patrols are smarter, faster, and more flexible. Our mobile security services offer businesses better protection while also supporting environmental goals.
It’s a glimpse into where the industry is heading and how we’re already delivering those solutions today.
Looking back at August, looking ahead with what’s next
This month’s articles offered a wide lens on security, showing how protection isn’t one-size-fits-all. We explored the flexibility of temporary versus long-term security, gained insight into how new screening technologies may (or may not) reshape travel, took a behind-the-scenes look at remote guarding in action, and examined how mobile patrols are transforming with data, tech, and sustainability in mind.
We’ll continue sharing fresh perspectives every month, covering trends, best practices, and innovations shaping the future of security. Follow us on LinkedIn to stay up to date with our latest insights. Keep checking back regularly on our blog for more content, updates, and expert perspectives.
