  Terrorism

  In the current climate, businesses have a heightened need for awareness.  
   
Businesses and organizations should not dismiss the danger from terrorist threats as far-fetched, nor rely wholly on the government to handle the corresponding challenges.

Whether targeted against specific organizations or against Americans as a whole, the threat to companies remains real. Through the tragic events of September 11, 2001—and the subsequent anthrax scares—we have all witnessed the ramifications for business activity as well as for society as a whole.

With threats ranging from letter and parcel bombs to large-scale biological attacks—and from disruptive false alarms to theft of information for nefarious purposes—companies must maintain a level of vigilance like never before in order to prevent, prepare for, and respond to all possibilities.

Tracking terrorist activity since the late 1970’s
Many of Guardsmark’s managers hail from such eminent agencies as the FBI, the Secret Service, the military, and other law enforcement organizations. Our clients benefit from the insight of professionals who have investigated such cases as the Unabomber, the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and the Oklahoma City bombing.

  Tracking terrorism since 1979
