WHAT SETS US APART
Why Cambridge Security is a Clear Choice
Rooted in South Florida, we do more than provide great security officers, we set them up for success. Our clients get empowered guards backed by a dedicated management team, law enforcement connections, and unmatched resources—things other companies simply don’t offer.
OUR HOME FIELD
Pioneering South Florida’s Niche Security Landscape
We chose to focus solely on South Florida, driven by a rare opportunity in one of the country’s most unique housing markets—a space no one was owning. With more gated communities and country clubs than anywhere else, we quickly identified the need for top-tier specialized security. Leveraging our expertise, we became the region’s only security company fully committed to this niche. Integral in making South Florida safe and desirable, we deliver unmatched safety solutions tailored for the region and the lifestyle.

TIMELINE
A History of Dedication
1987
Ethan Lazar founded Cambridge Security to meet the high demand for competent, customer-focused security. Starting with doorman services in New York City, Cambridge quickly grew into a world-class, full-service security provider. By recruiting experts from law enforcement and the military, Cambridge set a new standard for trained, high-caliber security across New York City.
1997
Through the early and mid-90s, Cambridge Security expanded into new markets, launching its National Command Center in 1997 to serve national retail clients. Over the next decade, the Command Center partnered with 600+ security affiliates, managing major projects for brands like AutoZone, Citi Trends, A&P, Michaels, ShopRite, Sports Authority, Verizon, and Ulta.
2016
In 2016, James D’Arcy joined Cambridge Security as Vice President of Operations and became COO within two years. By 2018, Cambridge was licensed as an Advanced Life Support (ALS) provider in Palm Beach County. Mr. D’Arcy and Mr. Lazar led the company’s strategic focus on Florida and its core competencies.

Cambridge unites its Command Center and Corporate Office in Boca Raton, bringing operations under one roof for greater synergy and efficiency.
