We are the national thought leaders in what it takes to be truly secure!

We focus on prevention of, and survival during, The Life or Death Gap ™. The time when there is no one there to help you...except you!

"For true security it's time to completely "untrain" the wrong and "retrain" the right!"

Terry L Choate, Jr - Co-Founder/CEO/President of Blue-U Defense

IS IT POSSIBLE FOR AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY TO BE WRONG...FOR DECADES?

Here's the deal: Almost everything you have been taught about security is wrong! Almost everything you have been led to believe will keep you secure - won't! Training like "Run, Hide, Fight", technology like alarms, cameras, access control, alert apps, and people like law enforcement and security professionals. None of these truly keep us secure.

How do I now this: Because every business, school, and church that has been chosen for incidents of mass violence have had either all, or most of these things in place and still.. they didn't prevent the incidents nor did they do anything to keep victims counts low.

You see...solutions to keeping people secure have been focused on trying to keep people secure rather than teaching them how to be secure. History and today's security solutions assume that victims will be victims and the focus of the solution is on how to minimize the time in which victims are victims and get "the heroes" there to stop the threat and save those victims. The problem: This never happens. These incidents almost always resolve themselves by the bad guy choosing to stop and by the time "the heroes" get there - it's over!

Our focus is on what we call The Life or Death Gap ™ - the time that starts the second you know there is danger until the time you know the danger no longer exists and keeping you and all involved alive during this time. This is the time when you are on your own and the time when there will be no one there to help you - but you!

Thought leading, outside-the-box, new, REAL solutions for normal people! Solutions that anyone can master without getting out of a chair.

Today's threats are unique, dangerous, and they are everywhere!

The solutions to preventing and surviving these threats are just as unique.

If you are an organization with the responsibility for keeping your employees secure, a parent responsible for keeping your kids secure, or just someone who wants to keep yourself secure, our training resources are the most effective and practical in the world! They are designed to bring immediate results, with little to no time spent, for normal people who have not had a career or experiences that made them see the world through a lens that shows everyone and everything to be a threat and for non-warriors who have no desire to become one, nor can they!

The world's most effective and practical training resources are now available to anyone without requiring a membership.

OnDemand, Live-Virtual, and Live In-Person training that allows you to choose what you want and when you want it!

Until now, our highly effective and class-leading security training and resources have only been available to organizations, and employees of organizations that were a part of our Security on Autopilot program. We are thrilled to announce that, effective immediately, anyone can benefit from our resources! This includes organizations who want their employees to get specific, periodic training and even individuals who are not a part of any organization. It's simple: Just choose the course that you want, register and pay, and you can significantly enhance your security, and security of those that you are responsible for - immediately!

The Secure Journals have been developed to address a need: Train effectively, in small increments and in short time each month - about 10 minutes. We have also added a significant benefit - material designed to keep your employees truly secure at work, and keep them and their families secure at home and everywhere else.

The idea:

Your employees read a resource-packed 4-8 page newsletter that we provide and you distribute to them via email. Each issue will bring them increments of any mandatory security training that you may have as well as security-related information that they can take home with them and apply to their families, homes, and time out in public and, at the end of the year, you send them to our site to take a short quiz to ensure understanding of the material and document their knowledge and successful completion.

Thats it! Training and much more accomplished in approximately 10 minutes each month. No logistical challenges about when and where you will train, and the costs associated with training are reduced dramatically.

And one more thing: With training marterial spread out and short, the effectiveness is increased substantially. Your employees will actually look forward to receiving it each month.

How much does it cost: $99/Month - regardless of how many employees you distribute it to.

Truly Securing Your Polling Place, Volunteers, and Voters.

This time it's different.

This time the threat is real.

This time your security must be better.

The general election of 2024 brings a greater threat to our volunteers and voters than ever in our nation's history. If you have the responsibility for keeping people secure, it's critical that you understand the threats and how to prevent them from success and respond if prevention efforts fail.

If your plan was to simply "beef-up" your previous security plan, you are not doing nearly enough.

This 90-minute webinar will bring you what you need to enhance your polling place security beyond anything you've ever done in the past.

Live virtual training allows for interaction and learning from the stories and experiences of others.

Physical Site Security Assessments. Security System Testing.

Making sure your corporate office and satellite locations are secure and your security systems truly work is not negotiable.

We conduct physical site security assessments from a very unique, but far more practical and effective perspective than any of our competitors:

"How can we significantly enhance security without spending a dime?"

Is this possible? Well, there is always money to be spent on security so - no, it's not always possible. On the other hand however, it's possible 100% of the time. If you were to tell us that you don't have a dime to spend, we will still enhance your security, beyond anything you've ever done.

How? We look at your assets and figure out ways to work with what you have - buildings, layouts, people, policies and procedures, etc.

In fact, it's the only real way to create security in an organization.
