Apple Inc. will hire its contract security officers as full-time employees eligible for benefits.
Apple is ending its contract with Security Industry Specialists to bring the security officers on board.
"Apple recently completed a comprehensive, year-long review of its security program and we've decided to directly hire a number of key onsite security roles for Apple's Silicon Valley operations which are currently contract positions," Apple said in statement. "We will be hiring a large number of full-time people to handle our day-to day security needs. We hope that virtually all of these positions will be filled by employees from our current security vendor and we're working closely with them on this process."
