We provided solutions to Mexico City's ambitious security system which incorporates 15,000 cameras, security for major international airports such as Dubai and Durban, as well as helping 10 of the world's largest banks with cybersecurity issues.

PROTECTION SYSTEMS (PRS)

We are helping to reduce crime by delivering the world's most sophisticated urban security system to Mexico city. Our solutions allow governments to prevent and respond effectively to all types of threats: crime, terrorism, natural disasters and industrial accidents. Our security and telecommunication systems allow governments, industry and operators to protect infrastructure such as airports, gas terminals and holy as well as people and information by allowing them to make faster and more efficient decisions, ensuring national safety and security.

That is why we rely on our people to help us master the most complex environments for our customers, and careers start here.
