It is no secret that today’s business leaders have different roles to play and cater to the needs of diverse clients. In the security landscape, however, these leaders have a specific role to play in their respective organization’s security posture along with additional responsibilities.

As a key player in this industry, his main task is to bring constructive and necessary changes in a way that is responsive to the future and long-term needs of all stakeholders.
The proficient leader believes that the future of physical security is going to be quite challenging. Factors such as reductions in manpower and funding, digitalization, and the introduction of the information age are driving the challenges of physical-security. Hence, it is security leaders’ duty to understand the physical-security challenges and take significant actions to minimize them to enhance force protection. In addition, they must be aware of the human-dimension factors and ensure that their security personnel does not become complacent as it could become a physical-security challenge.
