SECURITY

With growing threats from terrorism, organised crime, trafficking and cyberattacks, defence organisations alone are not fully equipped to deal with the changing risk environment. Thales is focused on complex security requirements and are Europe's leading provider of digital technologies for defence and security and the world leader in data protection. Our solutions secure the four key domains considered vital to modern societies: government, cities, critical infrastructure and cyberspace. 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.
