Individuals and Corporations
NEW YORK and GREENWICH, Conn., June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Insite Security, a
full-service security and risk management agency for corporations and high net
worth individuals, has opened a new office in Greenwich, Conn. to meet the
needs of the state's other potential clients
The Greenwich office, lead by William Whiteside, a former Secret Service Agent
and Deputy U.S. Marshal, will focus on the unique needs of the Connecticut
market, with a specific focus on providing services to private equity, hedge

The Insite Security team consists of former Special Agents of the U.S. Secret
Service and Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as command-level officers
of the New York City Police and Fire Departments. Insite's staff includes the
State Department's former lead terrorism analyst as well as physicians who are
board-certified in emergency medicine.
"The Connecticut market has specific security needs that are different than
other locales. Due to the concentration of financial services firms and
high-profile families of means, communities like Greenwich, New Caanan,
Cornwall and others have security requirements that are not being met," said
Christopher Falkenberg, President and Founder of Insite Security. "We chose to
open an office in Greenwich because of our expertise in high net worth family
and property protection along with the work we have done with many financial
services firms in the New York City metro area."

& Wardwell, is considered one of the nation's leading security experts. He is
routinely quoted in the national media on all issues surrounding security and
threat preparedness. His firm has helped many individuals and corporations

just with their personal security, but also in their homes, offices, and even
schools for their children," said Mr. Falkenberg. "At Insite, we have seen an
increase in requests for our travel security services for overseas tourism and
business travel. In Connecticut we expect that background investigations for
domestic employees, as well as emergency preparedness planning to be in great
demand."
While with the Secret Service, Mr. Falkenberg conducted numerous protective
advances for the President, government officials both here and abroad and
visiting dignitaries. He led investigations of major fraud cases and worked on
successful prosecution and sentencing of the perpetrators. Among his awards
and citations, he received the Treasury Department's Special Service Award and
