With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, we are seeing new creative, and more complicated security threats emerge. Traditional security measures alone are no longer effective in countering sophisticated threats, so we must be smarter than the bad guys.
The basic concept of security protection principles still apply, but at a much higher level of deployment. Yesterday’s layered security approach is still relevant, but we have to apply more layers, which is where AI-agents, analytics, and automation come into play. Today’s security demands a tailored, strategic approach to protect property, individuals, and assets.
At Largo Consulting Services, LLC, we specialize in developing customized physical security solutions aligned with each client’s unique risk and vulnerability profile. Every environment, whether it’s a school, university, stadium, office building, mall, hospital, or mixed-use space, faces different risks and vulnerabilities and, therefore, requires distinct security strategies.
Why Customization Matters
Out-of-the-box security systems are often ineffective in neutralizing modern threats. They frequently overlook critical vulnerabilities and leave room for breaches. A customized approach begins with a detailed site assessment and a plan to develop and deploy resources to mitigate risk.
Key Benefits
-
- Better Risk Coverage – Strategies are developed based on actual and theoretical risk; you can never be too prepared.
- Cost Efficiency – A customized security approach doesn’t have to be expensive since most organizations only use a portion of a security system’s capabilities. Your system may already have capabilities you haven’t implemented or even know about.
- Flexibility – Customized and unified security systems can grow as you grow, and as technologies improve, so do the systems, especially when it comes to maximizing resources.
The VIZION360 Assessment Approach
We start by thoroughly analyzing current threats, vulnerabilities, and security gaps. Our VIZION360 assessment includes:
-
- Physical Infrastructure – An on-site assessment of the interior and exterior of a property to include an overview of the surrounding area.
- Electronic Security – A review of existing security systems.
- Operational Procedures – Comprehensive review of emergency response plans, security policy and procedures, and operational manuals.
- Guard Force Management – Assess deployment schedules and management structure.
- Planning – Action plan to mitigate risk and vulnerabilities. Once the assessment is complete, you’ll clearly understand your current posture and can build a plan accordingly.
- Security System Design – Development of a unified security system that takes advantage of emerging technologies today and well into the future.
- Training & Awareness – Staff readiness and situational awareness that promote a security-first culture.
Core Elements of a Customized Security Solution
Going Beyond The Basics
The basics are easy: you need to control access, monitor activities, detect threats, and respond, which are a must-have in developing a customized security solution. After understanding the basics, it is where the fun begins. We can now look at the deployment of biometric technologies, barriers, radar, drones, analytics, automation, and AI-agents designed to proactively respond to a threat before we even know about the threat.
Smart security systems mitigate the errors associated with a human response; no matter how quickly an officer can respond, AI agents will respond quicker and more effectively. Maybe not today, but definitely in the future.
While technology is essential, human presence remains key, for now. Our security threat mitigation approach includes assessing staff needs, defining patrol routes, and creating actionable response plans, which, together with scenario-based training, ensures your team is always prepared.
