Allied Universal: Readying Physical and Cyber Security Measures For Presidential Debate

Expect the unexpected and prepare for it all

IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 4, 2024 / Allied Universal^®, the leading provider of security solutions for the government sector, provides critical security planning and mitigation recommendations for the upcoming debates in its recently released special report titled Physical Security During an Election: Expect the Unexpected and Prepare for it All.

According to Allied Universal's experienced team of security and intelligence professionals, a wide range of security measures must be planned, reviewed, revised as needed and then reviewed again prior to and on the day of the much anticipated debates between U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and former U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Vice President candidates Tim Walz and JD Vance.

The Allied Universal report leverages intelligence and expertise from the company's more than 60 years of experience in the security industry as well as insight from its team of veteran intelligence and security experts. The report identifies potential physical and cyber security threats that could impact the safety of the presidential nominees, debate moderators, audience members and the general public on Sept 10.

"Presidential debates are pivotal events in the election cycle that draw significant attention from the public, the media and bad actors. The politically charged atmosphere of debates

can heighten the potential for security issues," said Allied Universal Global Chairman and CEO Steve Jones. "By outlining potential security considerations, threat mitigation techniques and insights on contingency planning, our hope is that debate organizers and security personnel find the report a valuable tool offering suggestions and examples that support deployment of comprehensive security strategies."

In addition to presidential debates, the report addresses security strategies and tactics for other election year events including election day and the presidential inauguration. Potential security issues are addressed in the report and include civil unrest, active shooter, crowd control, insider threats, infrastructure attacks, cyber threats, domestic extremism, and the spread of misinformation. Mitigation approaches are also included in the report.
