LONDON, May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

In a constantly evolving landscape of threats to the oil and gas industry, the role of security operations must continuously adapt to meet changing economic, geo-political, criminal, and terrorist/homeland-security challenges. As new technologies and strategies are developed, it's critical to stay one step ahead of the potential risks to your business.
