About This
Workshop
The effective security of facilities is a continuously evolving process. At the Advanced Physical Security Planning Workshop, you will learn how to update vulnerability assessments to account for changes in physical infrastructure, refine human skills though advanced resource management, integrate a pragmatic consequence management plan and a obtain a decision-makers perspective on the ongoing effectiveness and integration of technology tools. The special security requirements of mission critical facilities and assets will also be addressed.
The Department of Homeland Security estimates that 90% of the physical infrastructure that needs to be protected in this country is owned and managed by private sector. You will examine ways for government to provide a more desirable incentive to the private sector to play a more active role in security planning and implementation.
From a government perspective, this workshop will address the measurement of regulatory compliance of security measures. From a business perspective, you will look at the cost justification of needed security and learn how to make a continuing case for funding the investment.
