Developing an effective anti-violence policy is a cornerstone of any prevention program.
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
In response to increasing concerns over workplace safety, California’s Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 553 (SB 553) into law, a significant step towards ensuring a safer work environment for all employees.
This new legislation, effective July 1, 2024, mandates all employers establish, implement, and maintain an effective Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP). SB 553 underscores the state’s commitment to enhancing workplace safety by requiring employers to proactively address and mitigate the risks associated with workplace violence.
Preventing a case of violence happening at the workplace is objective. Devising an effective anti-violence policy is a cornerstone of any prevention program. Don’t make the mistake of formulating violence prevention program without due deliberations in risk evaluation.
Nexgen Protection Services can help you in devising a prevention policy after thorough risk assessment.

Deepfakes can cause financial and reputational damage to your organization.
Cybersecurity and fraud prevention are inextricably intertwined. Most organizations have robust firewalls, secure operating systems and intrusion detection systems. Deepfakes bypass these preventative firewalls through social engineering techniques.
Individuals receive an email from a seemingly reputable source requesting employees give up sensitive information over email. Once this information is provided, hackers infiltrate company’s databases extracting sensitive information.
Educate your employees about the existence of deepfakes. Provide training about the ways to spot deepfakes, and foster a culture of skepticism, similar to the way that employees are now on guard for phishing emails.

Sidewalk bollards prevent and protect the public from being injured by vehicles nearby.
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
Bollards installed on sidewalks and around the perimeter of buildings are an essential way to keep everyone safe. A bollard is a short vertical post used to separate pedestrians or streetscape elements from vehicles.
There are too many accidents where you see a vehicle crashed inside of a storefront because there was nothing there to stop it. Bollards can stop someone in a vehicle intent on inflicting harm to people that are just going out and enjoying their day.
