security team

Building's watchful staff

A security team is a group responsible for protecting something—whether physical premises, digital systems, or people.

In corporate settings, the term often refers to cybersecurity specialists who defend against hacking and data breaches: The security team detected the intrusion within minutes.

It can also mean guards or protective personnel: The security team escorted the CEO through the crowd.
