Physical Security Incidents Impact Your Bottom Line
*Physical Security Risks are Rising
A quarter of businesses saw a rise in physical security incidents in 2023, and more than half are increasingly worried about crime than they were a year ago.
In 2023, 32% of businesses said they experienced project delays because of physical security incidents, with 30% reporting damage to assets.
Up to 10 physical threats occurred globally every minute in 2022.
As of mid-December 2023, there were more than 640 mass shootings.
Two-thirds of the most common risk events are related to homicides and gun violence.
From mid-2020 to mid-2022, transportation-related threats rose 179%, fire threats were up 150%, infrastructure and technology risks jumped 142%, and extreme weather risks grew by 61%.
At least 47% of retail store employees surveyed by Axon reported having seen or been the victim of physical or verbal violence on the job.
