When ExecutiveBiz named Evan Scott of ESGI a “Top Government Contracting Executive Recruiter, ” he spoke with the publication about trends he’s noticing and where he feels the contracting community is heading.
“There will always be a demand for security, both physical and cyber, ” he said. “We are seeing a great deal of investment in wireless and network security. We think that the government will continue to spend money on modernization of networks, data mining, cybersecurity and protecting high-value targets. We also predict that soft targets will begin to get more serious about security and response. Emergency preparedness is a very hot topic, and we will see the leisure industry become a very powerful customer. We also think that transportation will advance in their acquisition of security-related products and services. Based on the changing threats, the government will be focused on soft targets. This is a huge opportunity for companies who can provide physical security and emergency-response planning. We must also recognize that events will impact where we spend money. If there is a train that is attacked, then we will see a lot of focus at DOT. If an attack happens at a mall, then money will be spent to protect all malls in the country. We are a nation that reacts to events.”
