Artificial Intelligence in Security: Leadership Matters

Artificial Intelligence in Security: Leadership Matters

By Frank Costa, President, Nexgen Protection Services

While artificial intelligence offers security teams cutting-edge advantages, GSX 2025 keynote speaker Sol Rashidi emphasizes that security must take a leadership role in guiding how AI is deployed across organizations (ASIS International, 2025).

It’s not just about adopting technology—it’s about setting ethical boundaries, defining risk parameters, and ensuring AI supports business objectives safely. Security leaders who step up shape not only protection strategies but organizational trust.

Navigating Travel Disruptions Amid the Government Shutdown

Navigating Travel Disruptions Amid the Government Shutdown

By Frank Costa, President, Nexgen Protection Services

The ongoing U.S. government shutdown is impacting air travel, with air traffic controller shortages leading to increased flight delays and cancellations. Approximately 13,000 controllers and 50,000 TSA officers continue working without pay, exacerbating staffing challenges and operational strain at major airports like Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, and Newark Reuters.

For travelers, it’s crucial to:

  • Arrive early at airports due to potential longer wait times

  • Monitor flight statuses regularly

  • Stay informed about potential service disruptions

Adaptability and preparedness are key to navigating these turbulent skies.
