...Security and Management week 1 conference 1 Since 9/11 security has moved from the periphery to the center, with the Government, Private Organizations, and individual citizens placing more emphasis on the need for Security. Security services today are sophisticated and complex it involves the use of criminal and civil law, investigations, policy formulation, psychology, and sociology just to name a few. The most important purpose of security is that of guardian and protector (ortemeir 2013 pg. 4). Ortemeir states that large facilities can utilize security personnel, instead of mailroom staff, to provide internal mail and delivery services, thus increasing value to the organization by cutting delivery costs, while increasing patrol activity. In an organizational sense security is a function and responsibility that is throughout the operation of all public agencies and private institutions. (Ortemeir 2013 pg. 4-5) The roles of public law enforcement are to keep the peace, maintain order, police public property, and respond to and investigate reported crimes on public, and private property, the public police have no authority to enforce a private organizations policies and procedures. Some of the benefits of Law enforcement, and Security partnerships for example include Law enforcement can prepare private security to assist in emergencies, obtain free training, and services, reduce the numbers of calls for service.

...of IT Security Management” 1) The article questions the loss estimate obtained from CSI/FBI security surveys since they exclude some categories of costs associated with security breaches. It suggests that cost estimate based on the loss in capital markets as a result of a breach in security may be a proxy to estimate true cost of security breaches. a. What do you think about the quality of this cost estimate? Can you think of better ways to capture true cost of security breaches? Although I can see the benefit to utilizing capital market losses as a basis for estimating the true costs of a security breach because it attempts to capture the intangible costs of a breach, there is a great deal of uncertainty in the market and market share may go up or down as much based on the public perception of company’s ability to handle the situation as the damage done by the event itself. Additionally, the marketplace is often affected, in the long term by a multitude of indirect factors that skew the data; the price of fuel, socio-economic instability or new laws/regulations in parts of the world where they have warehouses or production facilities, natural disasters etc. Furthermore capital market changes only capture the effects of those security breaches that are publicly reported. Privately held companies are not subject to many of the laws and regulations that compel larger businesses to self-report and even when companies are required by law, to report security breaches...

...I. Overview of Air Cargo Security Management 1. General Air Cargo Security Situation Today, aviation is one of the world’s most important business. The growth of the industry over the past decades has made it one of the biggest contributor to the expansion of global economy. Therefore, an emphasis on airline security is undoubtedly important. Logistics security is not only contingent on safe passage and avoidance of hazards, but also assurance that goods have not been tampered with and kept secure. There are several security threats such as Terrorism, Organised Crime and Cargo Theft, Hijacking and Piracy, Drug/human smuggling, Illegal weapons, Counterfeit goods, Illegal exports of licensed materials/technology For instance, transnational criminal organizations use the aviation system to transport contraband and, increasingly, people across the globe. Cocaine smugglers have used the FedEx air delivery system to transport their products across the United States, and narcotics smugglers from Guyana have used U.S Mail pouches to smuggle millions of dollars worth of cocaine into the United States through JFK. Hijackings were the most popular tactic for many individuals. Between 1967 and 2004 there were nearly 1000 airline hijackings. It is estimated that approximately 85 percent were carried out for political purposes. The rest were conducted by terrorists. The international civil aviation regime began to respond to the menace, deploying the so-called X-ray machines, for example...

...IT Security and Disaster Recovery Management Dr. Kenneth Phillips August 26, 2013 Introduction The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality has evolved from a means of recognizing and promoting exemplary quality management practices to a comprehensive framework for world class performance, widely used as a model for improvement. As such, its underlying theoretical framework is of critical importance, since the relationships it portrays convey a message about the route to competitiveness. This paper will compare how two schools us the support related to the validity of the Baldrige framework by examining both schools plans at the level of its theoretical constructs. By moving beyond the specific criteria, I seek to examine it in a larger context, how these schools and business in general can use it for strategic planning. Baldrige and Plans The Baldrige literature has been influential in providing guidance for achieving performance excellence in businesses. The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Improvement, which embodies many elements from UC Berkeley and UC Boulder strategic IT plans, offers a framework for implementing a set of high-performance management practices, including customer orientation, business process management, and fact-based management. This framework points to the interconnections between information and analysis, process management, customer management, and performance management and acknowledges that the management of...

...can no longer be managed on an ad hoc basis, but should be sewn into the fabric of corporate management. In other words, an organization will not be able to make strategic choices to maximise performance without having a clear understanding of the risk it faces. People make risk decisions at all levels in an organization, ranging from individual responsibilities to collective decisions made at Board level. Allowing individuals too much autonomy within an organisation can have disastrous consequences. Consequently, compliance and adherence to regulations is important to all risk management programmes, which in turn have focused organisations on corporate governance as a form of management control. Risk analysis helps put in place checks and procedures that reduce the chance of negative outcomes. In relation to the risk management situation, we can always relate to Nick Leeson's case, who had lost Baring’s Bank $1.3 billion on trading derivatives, destroying Barings and its reputation within a short period of time. Inter-related Crisis and Risk management Crisis and Risk management are two different types of management control. Crisis Management is the term that describes a process, or collection of processes that are put in place to handle an unexpected event that threatens to harm an organization, a business, an operation or an individual or group of people. Crisis management often requires decisions to be made within a short time frame, and...

...6, 2011 Case Study #1 Building the Foundation – Security Assessments As the security manager of a major corporation tasked with creating the initial security assessment and auditing program for the company, the first step in developing proposals for the security services would be conducting a comprehensive survey (policies, procedures and operations) of the entire facility to identify the critical factors affecting the security of the premises (Broder, 2006). The next step would be to analyze the vulnerabilities and recommend protection which is cost-effective (Broder, 2006). To start, establishing policies and procedures which define the mission of the security department should be the bare minimum in the role of the security department. These would include the following: * Protection against internal and external theft (to prevent embezzlement, fraud, burglary, robbery, industrial espionage and theft of trade secrets and proprietary information) * Developing access-control procedures (to protect the perimeter of the facility and other sensitive areas) and anti-intrusion systems * Establishing lock-and-key control procedures * Establishing a workplace violence program * Controlling the movement of people on the premises * Reviewing security personnel hiring and deploying * Establishing emergency and disaster recovery plans * Identifying the resources needed and available for the security program to operate efficiently * Developing and...
