ABB Corporate Security focuses on processes, instructions and structure on protecting personnel and other assets from danger, loss or crime. As an integrated part of the ABB business, the security network analyzes threats and asset vulnerabilities in order to anticipate threats and mitigate risks.
ABB has strengthened its security capability considerably in recent years with additional company and external experts in different parts of the world.
The nature of risk has grown, and now potentially includes such diverse categories as war and terror, political upheaval, environmental hazards and natural disasters, different kinds of crime, and business intelligence and maritime threats.
One of the recent areas of focus has been on travel security. ABB has a system in place which tracks traveling employees globally and can be used to notify travelers and management of risks and dangerous situations as they occur. In times of crisis ABB Security can provide advice and support in relocating vulnerable staff and assets.
