Stratesec
Stratesec, formally Securacom, is an American security‑technology and risk‑management company active during the late 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. The firm provided integrated electronic security systems, access‑control solutions, and facility protection services for commercial, industrial, and government clients. Stratesec was originally founded under the name Securacom before adopting its new corporate identity in 1998.
Corporate History
The company began operations in 1987 as Securacom, focusing on electronic security system design and installation. Its services were marketed to large facilities requiring modernized access control, surveillance, and risk‑assessment capabilities. In 1998, the company rebranded as Stratesec as part of a corporate restructuring intended to broaden its technological profile and modernize its brand.

Leadership
