Protos Security

Service is deeply woven into who we are at Protos.

Active and retired military and law enforcement professionals contribute across our organization, from our internal teams to the officers and vendor partners supporting our clients nationwide. Their experience, leadership, and commitment continue to make a meaningful impact on the security industry every day.

That’s one of the many reasons Protos is proud to sponsor the Military and Law Enforcement Appreciation Breakfast at GSX 2026 on Wednesday, September 16, from 7:30–8:30 a.m.

In a recent Security Management interview, Glen Sider, Vice President of Vendor Management, discusses the value former military and law enforcement professionals bring to the security industry and, just as importantly, how we can give back to those who have dedicated their careers to service.

Check out Glen’s interview with Security Management below.

Cameron Tabor, Senior Vice President of Software Engineering at Protos Security, was recently featured in Security Sales & Integration, sharing his perspective on what AI should actually do for security teams.

In the article, Cameron discusses how the Protos Assistant can help teams surface critical insights across incidents, shift coverage, site history, provider performance and more, while keeping human judgment firmly at the center of security decision-making.

As Cameron puts it, “The best AI conversation does not begin with the model. It begins with the decision you need to make.”

Read the full article in the link below to learn how Protos is approaching AI with a focus on practical, operational value and what security leaders should be looking for as they evaluate AI-powered technology.
