Managing and securing special events

Exceptional events organised in or near cultural establishments, such as the Olympic Games in 2024, inevitably have an impact on their operation. By taking their characteristics into account, it is possible to design and put in place a suitable security system and to prepare teams with peace of mind to deal with any eventuality.
