Do any of these challenges sound familiar?

• Answers take too long to find
• Issues surface after they escalate
• Teams spend more time building reports than using them

If so, your security program may be more reactive than you think.

Protos Security CEO Mark Hjelle was recently featured in a USA Today article, shining a light on the vigilance, courage and responsibility security professionals carry every day, often without recognition.

“Security officers can be invisible until the moment it matters most,” said Mark. “You’re staying vigilant for the one moment when someone’s coming into a building, and that’s a very difficult thing to do.”

At Protos, we’re proud to support the professionals who help protect people when it matters most. Read the full article here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/05/22/security-guards-unsung-first-responders-danger/90216782007/

A message from Protos' CEO, Mark Hjelle:

Memorial Day is a time to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. It is a solemn reminder of the courage, dedication and selflessness of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedoms we are fortunate to have today. Their service and sacrifice deserve our deepest respect, gratitude and remembrance, not only this weekend but always.

Many of our colleagues have personal connections to military service, whether through their own service, family members, friends or loved ones. For those who carry that connection closely, this weekend may be especially meaningful. We are grateful for the sacrifices made by so many and for the freedoms protected through their service.

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and thoughtful Memorial Day weekend.
