On November 17, Dunbar Security Systems, Hunt Valley, Md., formally unveiled the next chapter in its nearly century-long history: a new security operations center (SOC) designed to provide its customers with a managed, full-service approach to physical, protective and cybersecurity. Started in 1923 as Dunbar Armored, Dunbar is still well known for its armored vehicle services. In 1983, the company introduced Dunbar Security Systems to bring an integrated solutions approach to its customers and in 2012 the company launched Dunbar Cybersecurity, which has been a separate entity until now.
“Our success has been driven by our commitment to our customers,” said Kevin Dunbar, president and CEO, at the grand opening, which SDM’s Senior Editor Karyn Hodgson attended. “As the threats have become more complex and difficult to identify, we have evolved to stay ahead of the ever changing security landscape. The convergence of digital and physical security exposes new threats and many customers now rely on disparate services, which are inefficient and leave vulnerable gaps. With this 360-degree managed security service we will offer comprehensive enterprise security, personnel, cutting-edge products and the latest cyber expertise.”
