Shaping the security of tomorrow
March 25-26, 2025 | Hyatt Tysons Corner, Washington DC
Thank you for joining us for the first Securitas Global Clients Symposium, a two-day event dedicated to shaping the security of tomorrow. We welcomed leaders from nearly 30 of the world's largest and most esteemed organizations for open, collaborative discussions about the future of the industry.
Both Securitas and external experts highlighted how digital tools, AI, and data are reshaping operations, while people, strong client partnerships, and outcome-based models are becoming even more central. Conversations underscored the necessary shift in approach from traditional security to integrated, intelligence-led security aligned with business goals.
