An invaluable resource for indentifying vehicle theft threats...

Developments in vehicle security over recent years have made it increasingly difficult for thieves to steal vehicles by conventional means and this has led to the use of more sophisticated equipment during theft.

SBD’s Electronic Theft Threats Database provides detailed information on the availability of these sophisticated tools throughout the global market and highlights the functions that could be utilised by a thief in order to steal a vehicle. The database is an essential tool that can be used to determine which manufacturers are at risk and from what method of attack.

For additional information please email security@sbd.co.uk or telephone +44 (0) 1908 305101 and we will be happy to deal with your enquiry.
