The Rising Demand for Full Security Plans

People now see a greater need to boost security in places once considered peaceful spots to think and pray.

The attack shows a worrying pattern of unexpected dangers that challenge regular safety plans.

Places like churches, synagogues, mosques, schools, and other community spots, once thought safe, are now easy targets for people driven by hate.

What happened in Sydney proves we need more intelligent and broader safety plans. Just locking doors or using cameras isn’t enough anymore.
