From design and installation to monitoring and analytics, Securitas Technology has the knowledge, certifications and experience needed to help organizations:

• Connect and integrate their technologies

• Optimize their security operations for maximum efficiency

“Our purpose to help make the world a safer place remains, and that starts with ensuring clients are at the heart of all we do,” Byerly says. “As a fully integrated business focused on security technology, we are well-positioned to unlock even more value for our clients – whether they’re local, regional, national or global and have a single site to secure or need a complex and comprehensive multisite enterprise security program.”
