Security and intelligence is a huge topic to cover, and one that really deserves a detailed chat. That’s why we’re thrilled to bring you part two of our interview with security and intelligence expert, Anthony McGinty.

Here, we’re talking about the nitty-gritty, nuanced issues you need to think about when analyzing your environment for security risks, including what’s changed in the industry over the past 20 years; how to avoid bias, discrimination and harassment; and what you need to know if you’re interested in getting into security as a career. 

Security isn't something we tend to think about in hospitality - especially if you're not in management, or work in a smaller venue. But just like first aid, security awareness is one of those skills everyone should have. 

Here, Typsy chats with Anthony McGinty, a former US Marine who now provides specialized security and intelligence consultant services to venues across the United States, including LAX airport. 

So read on to learn about how you can get started in the basics of security, intelligence, and risk assessment, no matter your role.
