World Security Report – 2023

In this Episode we discus  the Allied Universal World Security Report published in September 2023.  The report – Allied’s first - is based on a survey of 1,775 Chief Security Officers from large global companies in 30 different countries.  

Some of the key findings in the 54-page report include:

·      88% of the CSOs report that company leaders are more concerned with cyber security than physical security.

·      80% of the CSOs believe that recruitment and retention of security professionals will be a major problem over the next five years.

·      90% of the CSOs indicate that it is more important for security professionals to have technological capabilities and a high level of customer service training. 

·      More than $1 trillion dollars in revenue was lost in 2022 from internal and external physical security incidents in 2022. 

The report is filled with interesting insights into the growing challenges of private security.  We only have time to touch on a few of them, so we encourage you to read the report. You can find it here:  https://www.worldsecurityreport.com/
