In Brief
2006 Buyers Guide Released
T
he 2006 ASIS Security Industry
Buyers Guide (SIBG) has been
released.
This 19th edition—the definitive
source for buying and selling security products and services—contains
2,230 companies in 2,900 regional
offices with 8,333 key contacts. A
full index includes company cross
references for 4,023 brands of security products.
Companies with products and
services that address every physical and logical security requirement are broken out into 800 specific categories. Products range
from RFID access control and
hand-geometry scanners to complete integrated security management systems for enterprisewide
application. Services range from
offsite disaster-recovery services to
expert witnesses and background
screening.
A new category added to the
2006 edition is “Intruder/Burglar
Deterrents,” which features emerging technologies such as Protect
Security’s smoke cannon. Other
categories have been considerably
expanded, including the Information Technology Security category,
which now contains more than 60
subcategories ranging from complete identity management applications to behavior-based intrusion
detection systems.
The SIBG’s design and format
make it easy to read and easy to
use. All products and services are
represented by category in an A
through Z fashion, just like a local
phone book. The brand index
serves as a reverse directory to find
manufacturers using specific brand
names, and the product comparison charts allow direct comparison
of features in several product categories. As with every edition, some
product and service categories have
been renamed or reorganized to
reflect changes in the security industry and in the evolving role of
security professionals.
Any company that manufactures
or provides a relevant security product or services is eligible to create a
listing in the SIBG at no cost. While
they do not need to have an ASIS
member on staff, those companies
that do employ ASIS members are
able to indicate those individuals
and are given a more prominent
appearance in the companies section
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
T
he he ASIS International Scholarship
Fund is richer thanks to a generous
donation from the ASSA ABLOY Integrated Solutions Specialists (ISS) program.
Frank Santamorena, PSP, chair of the
ASIS Mid-Hudson Chapter, was chosen by
Honeywell Security to be the spokesperson
for a Honeywell Security television advertising campaign. As an ASIS Board-certified
Physical Security Professional, a member
of the ASSA ABLOY ISS team, and security
expert for the Discovery Channel’s program
“It Takes a Thief,” Santamorena was an
obvious choice.
Santamorena decided that while the
ads would be targeted to inform and edu-

services to the ad campaign if Honeywell
made a donation the ASIS Scholarship
Fund, managed by the ASIS Foundation,
Inc. The Foundation oversees a variety of
scholarship and awards programs for ASIS
members and others who are pursuing academic and educational goals.
Honeywell agreed, and a donation of an
undisclosed amount was made. As a result,
ASIS wishes to thank Santamorena and
Honeywell for their outstanding generosity
to the many security professionals whom
the scholarship fund assists.
to facilitate member interaction and
mutual assistance. To ensure that
information is current, all companies are required to approve and
update their listings each year to be
included in the upcoming edition.
An online version of the SIBG is
at www.sibgonline.com. This database is updated constantly throughout the year by the companies
and features additional information
such as a searchable database of
press releases. Members can also
register to be informed via e-mail
of any new materials or updates
within specific categories or even
specific companies.
The SIBG continues to be a key
resource for matching security buyers and sellers. Whether you’re a
supplier or an end user, this comprehensive guide will help ensure
that purchase decisions are based
on solid research.
ASIS members receive one copy
as a benefit of membership. The
2006 edition was mailed to members in late November. Additional
copies are now on sale through
ASIS for $99 for members and $179
for nonmembers.

ness; how the phraseology of the
questions can affect the quality
and truthfulness of responses; and
how to structure the interview,
including the use of clarifying, direct, and follow-up questions.
A third new addition by the
same authors is The
Reid Technique® of Interviewing and Interrogation. The crucial
question in any criminal case is whether
or not the suspect,
the victim, or witnesses are telling the
truth. This training
program contains 50
minutes of videotaped illustrations of
interviewing techniques and more than 60 pages of
written material. The viewer will
learn the distinction between interviewing and interrogation, how
to set up a proper interrogation
environment, and question
phraseology.
The next addition, New Glory:
Expanding America’s Global Supremacy,
by Ralph Peters, published by Sentinel, argues that the United States
will thrive in the twenty-first century if its leaders make the right
decisions about the opportunities
and dangers it faces in the world.
Peters offers a strategic tour of the
globe’s hot spots and explains
how the United States should respond to these challenges. He also
offers a sharp analysis of what’s
wrong with the U.S. intelligence
system and why the changes proposed by the 9-11 Commission
aren’t enough.
The sixth new offering is the
Sourcebook to Public Record Information, 7th Edition, Peter J. Weber, and
Michael Sankey, editors. Published
by BRB, the sourcebook explains
how to conduct concise background investigations and public
record searches nationwide. It
profiles more than 20,000 U.S.
county, state, and federal agencies
that house public records. More
than a directory, this publication
includes agency access procedures,
access restrictions, fees, Web sites
and online capabilities, turnaround times, addresses, phone
and fax numbers, and a county
locator to identify the search
county by place name
or zip code. This
book is an economical and valuable addition to the library of
anyone who conducts
background investigations, legal research,
or searches for people
or assets.
Transportation and
Cargo Security: Threats
and Solutions, written
by Kathleen M. Sweet
and published by Pearson Prentice
Hall, is the next newcomer to the
catalog. The book covers all aspects of air, maritime, railroad,
trucking, and mass transit transportation security. With its exceptional coverage of history, global
threats, and new technologies, this
book will help readers understand
the need for adequate transportation security and how to implement basic transportation-security
master plans.
Finally, World Out of Balance: Navigating Global Risks to Seize Competitive
Advantage is the seventh new offering. Written by the managing
director of A.T. Kearney’s prestigious Global Policy Institute, Paul
A. Laudicina, and published by
McGraw-Hill, the book explores a
global business environment that
is increasingly complex and
treacherous. World Out of Balance
draws upon the insights of an
elite group of business leaders, academics, and government officials
from around the world, focusing
on the factors that are shaping tomorrow’s business environment.
Supplemented with helpful riskmapping techniques and sample
scenarios, this personal guide will
help business survive and succeed

Board Member Interview
Loretta Woodward
Veney, CPP
L
ORETTA WOODWARD VENEY, CPP, is founder and owner
of Superior Training Solutions in Clinton, Maryland. Veney began
her security career in 1981 and has previously held security
management positions with such notable companies as MCI
Communications, Pinkerton Security Services, and Prudential Associates. Since 1998 she has been an instructor for Webster University’s organizational security management program. In 2002, she joined the faculty
of The George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, D.C.
An ASIS International member since 1989, Veney is currently
serving her second term on the ASIS Board of Directors. During her
career, she has held key volunteer leadership positions within the
Society including vice president of the ASIS Foundation Board of
Trustees and assistant regional vice president and regional vice president for Region XV.
Veney spoke to us from her suburban Maryland home early in
January.

P H O T O S B Y S T E V E N PA R K E
Q: What has been the biggest challenge
of your security career?
A: The biggest challenge for me,
when I came into this field almost
25 years ago, was trying to apply
my criminal justice degree to the
security work environment. I wish
that I’d had the security management courses that are available to
students today when I was in
school. I found it almost impossible to apply what I learned about
juvenile delinquency or criminal
procedure to my challenges with
hiring, firing, and disciplining employees, or dealing with the security department budget and company politics.

Veney says her husband Tim
(below) “has been my biggest
ASIS supporter” for 20 years.
Q: Of what are you most proud?
A: That’s an easy question for me.
I am definitely most proud of becoming an adjunct faculty member
of my alma mater, GWU. I loved
my time there so much as a student and I remember all my fabulous professors, so my big dream
was to go back there and teach
one day, to make a difference in
students’ lives just as had been
done in my life. I’ve been at GWU
in the forensic science department
for almost five years now, and it
is the most fun I believe
I have ever had…I honestly believe that I was
born to teach.
Q: Who are your mentors?
A: My most influential
mentor’s name is Larry
Payne. He was my boss
at MCI Telecommunications in the early 1990s
and is today my surrogate “Dad.” The most
important thing I learned
from Larry was how to
manage an effective and
efficient security organization without compromising your principles…but
M A R C H /A P R I L 2 0 0 6
the most important lesson poor
Larry had to teach me was how
to manage my department budget.
Math was never my strong suit,
but he did manage to keep me
from spending all my group’s
money in a single month.
Q: Are you a mentor to anyone?
A: I have definitely mentored
many up-and-coming security professionals. I actually think it’s my
job. In my role as mentor, I try
not just to instill the importance of
being an excellent leader
and businessperson, but I
also hope to transmit the
importance of being ethical and having integrity.
Many of my former students continue to communicate with me to this
day. That makes me feel
as if I’m definitely giving
something back, especially when they tell me
that I’ve made an impact
on their lives.
I was recently holiday
shopping in a mall when
I heard someone comment that I was “that
woman in the security
video.” I have been a
trainer in several security
videos, one of which this
woman saw in a security
training course. I asked
the young lady what she
learned from the video. It had
been at least three months since
she had seen it, yet she remembered the lesson of being professional at all times and being the
best security person you can be.
But she said the biggest thing she
remembered was that the training
instructor was a successful woman,
which she had not seen in her security career thus far. She had been
inspired through the video to make
security a career and [said] that I
showed her that she could move
into management if she
worked hard. That was
so fulfilling for me.
Q: Why are you an ASIS
volunteer leader?
A: I have gained so much
from ASIS membership
that I felt compelled to
move into leadership…I
feel that volunteering is
my contribution to helping ASIS fulfill its mission. I have watched
many security professionals work tirelessly for
this organization. How
could you not want to
join in? ◆

Always Improving
A
s the leading organization
in the world for security
practitioners, ASIS International takes great
pride in ensuring that it meets the
needs of its members. The Society
consistently updates its products
and services so that security professionals can readily obtain information that will help them perform
effectively when faced with security threats, as well as help to
advance their careers.
New products and services
for ASIS members are also regularly introduced. One of these,
the e-newsletter Security Management Daily, made its debut last
year. Other updates and changes
included a Security Management
magazine redesign; the formation
of an alliance with Information
Systems Audit and Control Association and the International
Systems Security Association that
enables ASIS to jointly promote
a more thorough, enterprisewide
approach to security; the firstever, on-demand Webcast for
members; and publication of the
most extensive research study of
the U.S. security industry completed in the past 14 years, and
now available online.
This year will bring additional
fresh services, products, and approaches to further enhance the
value of ASIS membership. First,
attendees of the ASIS Annual
Seminar and Exhibits in San Diego,
September 25-28, will be able to
match their interests with the product offerings of exhibitors, enabling
the attendees to maximize their
use of time in the exhibit hall.
Matching will also be available for
all educational sessions. To use this
new matching service, attendees
will fill in an online product information form and keyword searches
either before or at the event.
18
Another addition to the Seminar
and Exhibit’s roster of activities includes a group fishing expedition
on Sunday, September 24, on the
deep blue waters of the Pacific
Ocean. The trip will be sponsored
by the ASIS Foundation, Inc.
Also new is the opportunity for
chapters to sign up for free slots for
the Society’s popular virtual forums.
Two free slots per forum will be
available on a first-come, first-served
basis. This will allow chapters an
opportunity to expose their members to this new form of education
or provide a focus for a chapter
meeting to draw greater participation. In the event all free slots have
been claimed, discounted rates for
chapters will be available.
In the area of ASIS board certification, the application and preparation phases for earning the Certified Protection Professional (CPP),
Professional Certified Investigator
(PCI), and Physical Security Professional (PSP) designations have been
made more user-friendly. Advances
include a comprehensive list of fre-
quently asked questions available on
the ASIS Web site (www.asisonline.
org), as well as a complete list of all
study resources available, and study
tips from colleagues.
Candidates for all three designations may borrow titles from the
suggested reading lists (except the
Protection of Assets Manual and British/Canadian legal references), or
may rent the complete set (with
the exceptions above) for a 90-day
term from the O. P. Norton Information Resource Center at the
Society’s headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia.
The Online CPP Review Program has also been improved.
Now candidates may register for
the entire program, or they may
purchase separately any of the
eight modules that constitute
the exam—an ideal approach for
those who may need to focus
on subject-specific areas. And to
make it easier for chapters to
offer CPP review and study programs to members, the Society
will be instituting bulk pricing
for the CPP Study Guide, as well
as bulk registration fees for the
CPP Online Review.
This year, ASIS will be conducting its biennial member survey, enabling the Society to take
the pulse of members. Survey participants are selected at random.
Research also will be conducted to
gain input on the Seminar and
Exhibits and certification.
Your cooperation on these surveys would be greatly appreciated,
as member feedback is critical to
the future direction and offerings
of the Society. ASIS also wants to
thank all of those members who
have participated in the past, either
through formal surveys or individual feedback to headquarters. The
members of ASIS are a special
collection of talented professions.
Member viewpoints are important,
they are heard, and they have
made—and will continue to make—
a difference. ◆
