Mobile Security: Best Practices for Minimizing Exposures

Mobile Security: Best Practices for Minimizing Exposures

The majority of attacks on mobile devices in 2015 focused on human exploitation, as found in the Proofpoint Human Factor Report. Basically, various messages, mainly emails, were sent with malicious attachments or links that relied on human actions or responses to initiate the breach, rather than technically infiltrating a system directly. This being the case, increasing your knowledge and awareness is going to be the best preventative action you can take to safeguarding your information.

Task, Threat, & Environment: The Mindset of a Protective Services Professional

Task, Threat, & Environment: The Mindset of a Protective Services Professional

For a number of reasons, the most difficult thing to instill in a student during training is the proper mindset. Every student has bias from his or her experiences and the appropriate mindset for any professional must be ingrained through operational experience, not simply embedded through osmosis from instruction alone. In this article I’ll explain the mindset that I have developed which is largely responsible for the effectiveness and success in the way I work a detail.

Precision Holsters Ultra Carry Review

Precision Holsters Ultra Carry Review

Precision Holsters Ultra Carry for Glock 19.
“By far the quality of this holster is fantastic. The holster is durable with contact on a daily basis placing the weapon in and out of the holster. No scratches or blemishes so it looks brand new, even though its been in use.

In our security profession that is of most concern to professionals is whether a product is worth its value. We’ve all had semi reliable products that we’ve purchased, but Precision takes it to a higher level in putting together a holster that will last.

Using the holster on a daily basis with twists, turns and use, the holster is extremely comfortable to wear inside your 5.11 tac pants. The 2 hooks are placed comfortably over your belt and the holster itself does not move around even when jogging.

On my detail, I am dressed in tac pants and a collared shirt out, with the holster concealed. Ive had issues before being 6’7 and dealing with a long shirt and the issue of the weapon being visible. Thankfully, there has never been an issue and sometimes I forget Im even wearing it since the weight is proportional.

If your in the market for a holster and looking for something that will last, get a good bang for your buck, and comfortable, choose Precision Holster for your next purchase.”

2-Way Radios & Communicating in Protective Services

2-Way Radios & Communicating in Protective Services

Communicating is an essential part of working in any team, especially so in protective services where disseminating critical information immediately can mean the difference of a successful evacuation or a critical loss event. Online and in person, I routinely observe questions about radios and other gear, as most people know me as a recovering 12-stepper when it comes to gear. I have the personality ‘flaw’ that requires me to know how everything works and I am not satisfied or even comfortable in using something until I do. I was the kid who took everything apart, unfortunately having to put some of them back on the Christmas list next year…those of you like me know what I mean.

Vehicle Security Tips: How to Stay Off the ‘X’

Vehicle Security Tips: How to Stay Off the ‘X’

Providing protective services requires a mind set that differs dramatically from the norm. This line of work demands a forward-thinking anticipation of what might occur and developing solutions on how to mitigate those risks. How does this differ from the norm? Half of the people on this planet are categorized into below average intelligence. Humor aside, this is not a knuckle dragger’s profession.

The strongest weapon you possess must be your mind.
