What a fantastic public awareness initiative by the Australian Security Industry Association Limited (ASIAL). Despite the prominence of #nationalsecurity within Australian political, media, and public discourse, the role of the #privatesecurity sector in protecting our communities, our businesses, and even our government from theft, disruption, vandalism and harm is largely unsung.


In addition to the technologies that our society depends upon for the maintenance of safety, security and public order - from #CCTV, #accesscontrol, and #intrusiondetection to #cyberdefence and #securityoperationscenter solutions - the private security sector includes over 155,000 individual security license holders who work daily and nightly to keep us safe.


Part of ASIALs ongoing consumer awareness campaign is designed to raise public awareness of the private security industry and the critical work licensed members do across both the Protective and Electronic security sectors - keeping Australians safe and secure.


Article 1 discusses the private security sectors $11B contribution to the economy which hinges on diversity and skills.

Article 2 contributed to by Optic Security Groups own Vlado Damjanovski gives insight into how technology is changing capabilities within the industry and client needs. Exploring the intersection of technology and security in our ever-evolving world!

Security Advisory

 

Be vigilant. There has been an increase in reports of false billing scams. If you have received an email with an invoice purporting to be from us, call your Optic Security Group contact person to confirm if it is legitimate. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s National Anti-Scam Centre has reported a 25% increase in losses incurred by Australians from false billing scams in the July-September 2023 quarter compared to the same period last year. This is despite an overall 16% decrease in losses across scam categories.

 

Payment redirection scams are the most prevalent type of false billing scams. These involve scammers impersonating a business or its employees via email and requesting that money, which usually is owed to the legitimate business, is paid into a fraudulent account. For further information, visit the National Anti-Scam Centre website at https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/.   

 

Optic Security Group will never advise a change of bank details via email. If you have received an email with an invoice purporting to be from us, call your Optic Security Group contact to confirm if it is legitimate.
