Vehicles have become part if the terrorist tool kit, and it’s more important than ever to prepare for such threats. From angry drivers to determined killers, there have been over 14 major deliberate vehicle attacks in the past five years. One of the most effective ways to keep people and property safe is to develop and implement early warning systems that will ensure security personnel has adequate time to respond to threats.

Whether it be data relating to a specific area for planning or real-time information about perimeter status, it pays to know what’s coming.

These valuable tools should not be overlooked or underused when crafting an exterior defense.
