      2021 Top Security Threats

      Securitas surveyed a wide range of security managers and directors from Fortune 1000 companies, facilities managers, and others responsible for the safety and security of corporate America’s people, property and information.

      Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. has completed its “Top Security Threats and Management Issues” survey. Conducted biennially since 2001, this survey has become an industry standard used by corporate security management in a wide range of industry sectors for security-related data when making decisions relative to security planning.

      This year’s survey reflects an emphasis on discovering security professionals’ concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, social unrest, and other contemporary challenges. This includes identifying their use of various COVID protocols.

      The latest findings of the study indicate that the top five security threats are:

      1. COVID-19 Pandemic
      2. Business Continuity Planning/Organizational Resilience
      3. Cyber/Communications Security
      4. Workplace Violence Prevention/Response
      5. Employee Selection/Screening/Rescreening (including Insider Threats)

      A significant portion of the Securitas survey is devoted to identifying key management issues, as well as operational, staffing, and budgetary issues facing corporate security executives. The report also contains guest content from trusted thought leaders, including industry principals and Securitas experts.
