George Manos serves as president and CEO of THOR Executive Security Teams, Inc. Under George Manos’ supervision, the company offers skilled services in a number of areas, including executive protection, government resources security, and counterterrorism.

Terrorism and its harmful effects are occurring more and more each year. Many observers say America no longer has identifiable enemies that can be contained with traditional military measures. Counterterrorism is necessary in this global environment to keep America secure. Counterterrorism is critical to preventing attacks. If an unfortunate event does occur, being able to respond in a manner that minimizes the impact is key.

Effective counterterrorism strategies have short-term and long-term goals. The short-term goals are to properly monitor American interests and to ensure that there are adequate law enforcement and military resources to thwart any planned terrorist acts. The long-term counterterrorism goal is to destroy terrorist network by making it difficult for them to attract new members. The most effective way to accomplish this is to provide aid and resources to the impoverished countries where terrorist networks seek many of their recruits.
