The pandemic has brought into focus the challenges posed by keeping people safe and secure when they are out on business, not just when travelling overseas but also when they are required to attend people’s homes or other workplaces. Technology can help but in what ways? What are the risks in implying people are safe because they have an App or a piece of equipment? And what happens when employees are deployed in areas where connectivity is poor? In any event tracking people is all well and good, but what are the privacy issues and how can they be managed? What happens when employees are not compliant with requirements? And what is the role of security in responding? Is the rivalry between security providers a barrier to a universal service? To what extent do police forces support these private initiatives? This webinar will discuss:

The role of technologies in making employees safe and secure when out on business
The challenges posed by technologies including the challenges to privacy
The role of security personnel in responding effectively to employees in danger

Panellists:
Gordon Knight – CEO at PanicGuard Africa
Martin Wijlens – Travel Risk Management
Heimo Grasser – Chief Awareness Strategist at SAME and Regional Head of Security at Medtronic
