Michael Rozin, CTM™

PRESIDENT

Michael is a founding partner and the president of Rozin Security. For nearly 25 years, he has focused on protection against perpetrators of targeted violence. He utilizes his skills and extensive experience to create customized security risk assessment tools, training, protection, and intelligence offerings that work in today’s technology-driven world and are built for professionals like himself.

In parallel with his core functions at Rozin Security, Michael co-founded Rozin Technologies in 2021. He saw the need for an effective platform for threat assessment and management (TAM) cases and conceived TIPS® (Threat Information Protection System). This proprietary risk management software system offers organizations innovative and intelligent tools to proactively detect and prevent evolving threats.
 
Michael’s initial foray into protection was serving in the Israel Defense Forces as a sergeant in the specialized combat unit Barkan. He then completed an advanced security and anti-terrorism training program under the Israel Security Agency’s oversight at the Israel Security Academy. This led him to join the Israel Airport Authority as a security agent for Ben-Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. In 2005, he received an award for excellence for his performance at the agency. 
 
In 2005, Michael transitioned to the private sector, leading the special operations for the largest shopping mall in the United States, the Mall of America (MOA). As special operations security captain, he developed, implemented, and managed a behavioral threat detection and assessment program and various other programs focused on targeted mass violence prevention. These initiatives proved so effective that they were presented to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security as a security model in the private sector in 2008.  
 
Michael is a regular guest speaker at law enforcement conferences on counterterrorism and other proactive security methods. He is a faculty member at the University of Minnesota’s Master of Science in Security Technologies program, where he teaches security risk assessment principles and integrates psychology, behavior threat assessment, and technology in a security operation in this role. Michael is also a University of Tampa Criminology and Criminal Justice Department Advisory Board member.
 
Michael is a Certified Threat Manager (CTM™) through the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals (ATAP), a graduate of the Institute of Counterterrorism in the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel, a certified Krav Maga instructor, and fluent in Bulgarian, English, Hebrew, and Russian.

TESTIMONIALS

Michael Rozin is, simply put, one of the most competent and professional security leaders I have ever worked under. His high expectations and creative ability to effectively teach abstract concepts have been instrumental in my continued growth as a security professional.

He has consistently displayed extreme resourcefulness in his ability to procure the necessary tools and resources for his teams to complete their missions. There is not much I would not stake on Michael’s ability to solve any security problem he is tasked with and would gladly join him in any effort to do so.

Douglas Belton, Social Technologist, PricewaterhouseCoopers

“Michael Rozin and his team at Rozin Security were critical part of the success of Super Bowl 52 in Minnesota. From the state-of-the-art security plan, to effective integration of security measures, and superior leadership with private and public-sector partners. Michael and his team helped avoid security risks while delivering outstanding experience for over 1.5 million people. If you are interested in taking your security operation to the next level, I highly recommend Rozin Security.”

Dave Haselman, Chief Operating Officer, MN Super Bowl 52 Host Committee

The Savannah Airport Commission has been affiliated with Rozin Security for more than seven years. We initially utilized Rozin Security to develop an insider threat mitigation team specific to the commercial airport and airline industry. One of the determining factors specific to Rozin as our choice of developing an Insider Threat Mitigation Team was the Suspicion Indicators Recognition Assessment SIRA and the associated TIPS system.

TIPS technology provides the airport with the ability to track data associated with suspicious activity, thereby connecting the dots in terms of threats to the airport. Rozin Security has assembled one of the best teams of security professionals. Rozin Security provides the airport with a solid methodology in terms of reducing threats as it relates to the insider threat.

Fred. C. McCosby, Director of Operations, Savannah Airport Commission

Michael Rozin is a rare commodity – an extremely bright security professional operating on the cutting edge of counterterrorism preparedness.

Under the insightful leadership of the Mall of America director of security, Michael has drawn on years of critical experience to effectively develop the country’s most advanced counterterrorism detection and mitigation program for a commercial establishment. He understands both the need for effective relations with local law enforcement, and for thinking globally in ensuring maximum security effectiveness for the overall organization.

I want to pass on my appreciation for the SIRA Suicide Bomber Interdiction training you provided to our Pentagon Police Officers, K-9 unit members, and Emergency Response Team. I have heard only positive feedback from our employees.

It is critical that the Pentagon Force Protection Agency keeps up with the latest threats that are trending around the world. Your training ensures that our responders remain current and have the skills to effectively observe, approach, and immobilize a potential suicide bomber. There is no room for error.

Thank you for helping us perform our protection mission.
