The challenges of the security sector
We are going through a context marked by a transition that affects our society, human dignity, and social cohesion. This transition presents both major opportunities to seize and essential challenges to take up. The evolution of the security sector and its practices, which are relatively unknown, is one of the issues that must be considered today. By “security sector”, we mean both public and private security, which offers services in so-called high-risk areas.
Thus, our mission consists in empowering security professionals by improving security practices. To achieve our mission, we help shed light on the security field and its different practices known, we empower security professionals through training, and we reduce the legal risks they face, while increasing their resilience.
