Guard different sector (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

escort

'guard' is the definition.
(I know that escort is a type of security guard)

'different sector' is the wordplay.
'different' is an anagram indicator (letters placed in a different order).
'sector' anagrammed gives 'ESCORT'.

(Other definitions for escort that I've seen before include "Accompany (a person)" , "Bodyguard" , "'Accompany, perhaps protectively (6)'" , "attendance" , "Entourage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
