In a groundbreaking collaboration, Guardsman Group has joined forces with New York-based tech company Intellicene to introduce state-of-the-art security technology to Jamaica under its ‘Guardsman Metaverse’ brand. 

The prominent security services company, in a statement, indicated that the partnership aims to empower businesses with unparalleled protection against the rising tide of crimes in Jamaica. It will not only address the escalating challenges posed by theft and fraud but also herald a new era of innovation and security for both public and private sector organisations.

“Guardsman Metaverse has infused AI in many of its technology solutions to offer more precision in security. In addition, recently launched Guardsman Cyber Intelligence Limited offers AI-powered cyber solutions to combat growing cyber threats that Jamaican businesses face today,” the company noted.

At a recent breakfast forum held at the AC Hotel in Kingston, Jeffrey Lewis, Intellicene’s chief marketing officer, shared that the company has been delivering solutions in the security market for 25 years.

“We understand that risk is everywhere, and keeping pace can be difficult. It’s all about the technology, but operators are overwhelmed. With advanced software and AI, we are able to offer a different approach to security,” he said.

One of the key highlights of this collaboration is the incorporation of AI technology into existing security systems.

“Ours is the only platform that can integrate with older technology, so it reduces the costs of changing out cameras,” Lewis continued.

This integration will allow businesses to enhance their security operations significantly without having to cut into profit to purchase new equipment, leading to substantial cost savings in the long term. 

Damian Blair, general manager for IT, compliance and risk at Guardsman Group, shared that Jamaica, like many nations, has witnessed a surge in cybercrimes, particularly phishing and ransomware attempts.

“These attacks are becoming more sophisticated and pose a significant threat to businesses, potentially leading to data breaches and financial losses. We can help mitigate against that,” explained Blair.

With the introduction of customised security solutions tailored to the unique challenges faced by businesses in Jamaica, these threats can be efficiently combated, preventing data loss and safeguarding businesses from the ruinous impact of cybercrimes.

Guardsman Metaverse is an integrated security solutions company working to make businesses and homes safer and more secure by blending the most advanced security technology with traditional security solutions.

Clients can expect to be empowered through services that manage risks by pioneering innovative, cost-effective and integrated solutions.
