LAWRENCE, Kan., Jan. 26, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Protection One (Nasdaq:PONE), one of the nation's largest providers of monitored security services, has launched a business-focused microsite, providing a Web destination for business owners and security professionals looking for innovative solutions to their everyday risks. The site can be found at http://www.shapeofsecurity.com.
Unlike most security Web sites, Protection One's Shape of Security microsite provides business owners or security directors with specific solutions aimed at mitigating loss and enhanced tools for managing staff, inventory and processes.
"From external and internal theft to workplace violence, dangerous temperature fluctuations or water leaks, businesses face troubling risks every day. Unfortunately, these can be even more pronounced and worrisome in the current economic climate, which is driving business owners to be more cognizant about security measures," said Richard Ginsburg, president and CEO of Protection One. "We know that a professionally installed and monitored security system, incorporating the latest technologies, can help a company save time and money, while also protecting valuable assets and lives. Our new Shape of Security microsite illustrates how Protection One helps companies reduce business risks by leveraging our innovative product and service offerings as well as our experience."
Protection One currently serves more than 100,000 business security customers across the United States, some of whom are featured on the new site, sharing their security experiences in video testimonials and case studies. As one of only a few national security providers serving the commercial market, Protection One offers a comprehensive national accounts team as well as commercial consultants and a monitoring center dedicated only to business security. The Company's Shape of Security site shares specific examples for select business sectors but is relevant to many types of businesses or office environments.
Specifically, Protection One's Shape of Security Web site provides:
-- a guide who walks visitors through sections of the site and
provides insight on key risk solutions;
-- renderings of three types of businesses, visually highlighting
risks and the solutions Protection One provides to address those
risks;
-- video testimonials of current Protection One customers explaining
why they chose Protection One and the positive impact that choice
has made on their businesses;
-- a live chat feature that offers visitors convenience and
flexibility when contacting Protection One about security
concerns or questions;
-- links to RSS feeds and industry news; and
-- a forum where busy professionals can chat with other
professionals and share security tips and challenges.
"For businesses large and small, finding the right security solutions for their unique industries, offices and budgets does not have to be confusing, difficult or costly," said Ginsburg. "We have developed Shape of Security based on Protection One's experience in securing companies across the country and the challenges facing businesses in today's economy. We hope the site will become a convenient, go-to resource for many business owners and security professionals who are looking for easy access to security solutions."
