Before this, the very idea of planes being taken over and flown into buildings was hard to imagine. Now people can’t go into an airport without being aware of all the new security protocols that have been put in place to prevent another tragedy of this nature.  

Security in public places and at large events

The Las Vegas shooting has added another layer to security issues. Now the safety of people coming in and out of public buildings is at risk. We may see major changes in the way we build and secure spaces that are open to the public. For starters, physical security arrangements will probably consider not only the immediate venues but their surroundings too. Stephen Paddock managed to smuggle an arsenal of weapons into a hotel without being noticed. People hosting events in the future are likely to be extremely concerned about the venues they use. We could expect increased security in places like malls, restaurants, and college/high school sports events. Any event where crowds of people are gathered will experience an all-new type of crowd control. Increased airport-like security, with scanners and strict control of all entrances and exits, would be aimed at establishing good crowd control and minimizing any chance of terrorist attacks.  

An increase in cyber security

We are also likely to see an increase in cyber security, following the major data breaches like Equifax and the earlier Yahoo and Target breaches.  In the Equifax case, the privacy of millions of customers was violated. This shed light on the need for protection of privacy for consumers whose data is collected by companies. Cyber attacks are likely to continue to increase and better security is needed if consumers are to have the privacy they desire. Any firms who are up to date on the latest technology who are at the forefront of contributing to security in public places and at large events will be in great demand. Those who contribute to cyber and credit card security are also likely to experience a boom.
