The Future of Man Guarding: Integrating Human Security Training Services with Advanced Technology
With security faced with change, it's amazing to look at how man guarding (the use of traditional human security) has changed. Elevated from an isolated service, current manned guarding services are enhanced by technology and through specialized security training services. Furthermore, the threats faced by governments and organizations in both the public and private sectors have become increasingly complicated since 2019 (cyber breaches, breaches of critical infrastructure, the rise of domestic extremism, etc.), and there is an increased demand for total security solutions that integrate human capital with technology. In this blog, we will consider how man guarding has been impacted by innovation, and how organizations can use these trends to better deliver total security solutions. The Evolution of Man Guarding Historically, man guarding made use of trained personnel to protect property, people, and assets. These guards were trained in observation, deterrence and a little emergency response. However, in the current high-threat environment, it simply won’t cut it. Modern threats have evolved into multidimensional threats. Cyber-physical attacks against critical infrastructure or multi-facility coordinated breaches, for example, security threats, are better managed when they can be discussed and planned for in a more sophisticated way. This is why man guarding is making a more flexible transition into a tech-augmented practice. Security consultancy services in India and around the world are increasingly combining a hybrid service model within their consultancy, which looks to pair human intuition and sense with a technological backbone. This has ushered in an era of integrated security systems. Technology in Man Guarding: Game Changers Here's a list of some of the key technologies that are transforming man guarding: 1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning AI surveillance has gone one step further. Imaging is analyzed and flagged for suspicious activity in real-time by an AI system. Guards can be alerted in an instant to investigate, which improves...
