Security.org is based out of my hometown New York City where every resource they create is backed by credible studies and aimed at equipping and empowering viewers and readers with information that truly matters.
Due to Gabe and the team passion about safety, technology, and the combination of the two makes security.org videos really interesting to watch. He also gives you great tips to use your security devices in the best way.
