Securitas and AlertMedia join forces for worldwide crisis management and emergency reaction services.
In a significant move to bolster crisis preparedness for global enterprises, security services provider Securitas has partnered with AlertMedia, a leading platform for risk and response management. This partnership, announced in May 2023, is part of Securitas' broader strategy to expand its intelligence-led security services.
The integrated solution will bring together Securitas' managed risk intelligence and Global Security Operations Centre (GSOC) services with AlertMedia's risk and response platform. This collaboration aims to continuously monitor threats, automate alerts, and coordinate response, thereby building resilient programs that protect what matters most.
Martin AltheΜn, President of Securitas Digital, commented, "This partnership is designed to help businesses protect their employees worldwide and around the clock. We believe that by combining our expertise, we can provide a robust and reliable solution for organizations seeking continuous threat detection and response without the need to develop internal capabilities from scratch."
Christopher Kenessey, CEO of AlertMedia, echoed these sentiments, stating, "The Securitas integration is beneficial for organizations seeking continuous threat detection and response. Our platform will now integrate with Securitas' insights, providing a more accurate view of organizational risk. This partnership is the first of many joint initiatives in risk and crisis management."
Securitas intelligence analysts will provide insights into risks such as geopolitical developments, natural disasters, and other security events. These insights will be integrated with AlertMedia's platform, offering businesses a comprehensive view of their risk landscape.
The partnership aims to support businesses during geopolitical instability, rising infrastructure cyberattacks, and public health emergencies. By combating the growing threat of illegal cell jammers, as demonstrated by DMP's new JamAlert device, the partnership also aims to secure the communication systems that are essential for crisis response.
In essence, this partnership between Securitas and AlertMedia promises to be a significant step forward in enhancing organizational crisis preparedness, providing businesses with the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex and unpredictable world.
