Livro Carros Blindados – Flávio Galhardo

Unprecedented Launch in Brazil | Flávio Galhardo

What they never told you about Armored Cars. It’s time to find out.

Statistics prove it: 70% of executives use armored cars, but only 15% technically know what they bought. If technical criteria are missing, you might not be safe—you just have status, high costs, and an expectation of protection in a moment of crisis.

How much does a failure in your security cost?

In the corporate world, we measure everything: ROI, EBITDA, CAC. But when it comes to protecting lives, business, and reputation, most risk and security managers operate on "guesswork".

The market reality is harsh:

Decisions without criteria

Only 10% of managers perform a technical analysis of the armoring company before closing a contract.

Invisible risk

Glass or Ballistic Package? Level III-A or III?. Without technical knowledge, you might be buying a false sense of security.

Financial and image loss

A failure in a personal security program costs loss of credibility, loss of market value (if a private company), and further, the disruption and/or continuity of the business.

Armored cars stopped being a luxury a long time ago.

More than a book. A corporate survival manual.

"Armored Cars: A definitive guide for security professionals" was not written to decorate a shelf. It was designed to support intelligent security decisions aligned with the business.

Flávio Galhardo, a security strategist with military and corporate experience, transformed scattered technical knowledge into a practical Handbook for accurate decision-making.

What you will master with this manual:

Applied Geopolitics: Use real crime data to justify the need for a Sedan or an SUV for your fleet.
The decision matrix: Understand the financial mathematics behind the decision to buy (Capex) or rent (Opex) armored fleets.
The protection compass: Learn to use the ISO 31000 standard to justify your security investments.
The "Extra Time" concept: Discover why the armored car is a tool that buys the necessary time to react and survive.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

From Army Officer to Corporate Strategist

Flávio Galhardo knows security from three complementary angles: national defense, the corporate world, and service provision. All with one purpose: protecting people. With training as a Brazilian Army Officer and experience in giants like Souza Cruz and Ambev, he unites military discipline with an integrated and collaborative vision, contributing to business success.

It was during this transition that he identified the gap: the armoring market operated on empiricism, with no technical supporting literature. Dissatisfied, he traveled, visited factories, studied international standards, and created this legacy to professionalize the sector and support managers like you.

Uma prévia do que você vai encontrar.

Your Security Program should not be based on empiricism.

You have two options: follow current traditional market practices or elevate your security program to the technical and professional level that the activity requires.
