Experiences such as these give Boeing Security a positive image among Boeing people. But in the wake of once unimaginable terrorist attacks on the United States in September 2001, are these security officers enough to protect the company? Boeing employees only see a fraction of a multifaceted security and intelligence team that uses modern technology to identify and counteract security risks, Boeing Security said. By design, most of this work is done behind the scenes. "It would be ill-advised for Boeing to reveal to everyone what our security operations look like," said Greg Gwash, chief security officer, Boeing Security and Fire Protection. "But there are a few facts they should remember if they are uncertain about the company's capabilities."
"The credentials of Boeing Security and Fire Protection members attest to their abilities to keep Boeing prepared," said Gwash, a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran. The team includes former members of the FBI; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; other security, intelligence and defense agencies of the U.S. government; and local law enforcement and fire departments. "I believe that we have the right people and systems in place to provide Boeing with the security necessary to protect our people while preventing loss or damage to property and information," Gwash said.
