106 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2020 PREFERRED VENDORS n STS Group www.stsgrp.com Financial Institution Security In A Post Covid-19 World By Scott Couch - President & CEO / STS Group In 2007 I was a career bank security equipment technician with a dream… to do it better. Young and naive, but loaded with drive, I approached a financial institution with my plan. A small line of credit was arranged by that community bank and just like that... STS Group was launched. We woke up earlier this year to Covid-19. I mentioned earlier that I founded STS Group in 2007, at the beginning of the worst economic downturn most of us have ever experienced. In many ways this was a blessing. I had to adapt or fail and the lessons learned along the way are only taught by experiencing tough times. Financial Institutions will also need to adapt in this post COVID-19 world. Need an example? I’ve been a financial institution security professional my entire career and until now it has been unacceptable to enter a financial institution with your face covered. We will continue to adapt together with financial institutions with the help of branch technology and security solutions.
