Executives look to beef up building security after Manhattan shooting
"Modern office buildings have access control systems that can freeze elevators in place, shut down turnstiles, and remotely lock doors, said Buckner, who has several clients in 345 Park, and described the building’s access control and surveillance system as 'relatively sophisticated.' In the wake of the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, companies began to take a harder look at social media threats and early indicators of violence as well. Buckner now questions whether that will be enough."
In Semafor, Global Guardian founder and CEO Dale Buckner weighed in on efforts to build up corporate security in the wake of the deadly shooting at 345 Park Avenue in New York. Companies must now find ways to convincingly reassure their workers that they can keep them safe without creating an oppressive atmosphere.
