Security Conference and Exhibition
returned to the Kingdom
of Bahrain in December
after a six-year hiatus.
Dominated by Saudi
Aramco, the state oil
company of Saudi Arabia and the world’s
largest corporation, the
event’s theme was “Security Solutions for a
Flourishing Economy,”
while the focus was to
enhance the capabilities
of Middle Eastern companies in protecting
critical infrastructure,
information systems,
proprietary information,
and intellectual property.

the patronage of Shaikh Khalifa Bin
Salman Al Khalifa. In all, it boasted
about 1,800 attendees, 75 exhibitors,
and 2,000 square meters of exhibition space.
The perfect 70-degree sunny
days, the blue skies, and aqua water of the bay were the final ornaments to an event that will be remembered by the Society for years
to come.
The proceedings were informally
kicked off with a press conference
at the Manama Ritz-Carlton by
the conference’s keynote speaker,
former counterterrorism czar and
advisor to three presidents, Richard Clarke, as well as outgoing
ASIS President Jeff M. Spivey,
CPP, PSP, and incoming ASIS
President Steve D. Chupa, CPP.
All embraced the global view
evinced by the conference’s sessions and its diverse attendees.
“A company, which used to be
thought of as something inside a
fence, is now much more distributed as part of a team that involves many suppliers from all
over the world, and many customers from all over the world,”
Clarke said, adding that much attention must be paid to disruptions that could affect the entire
business cycle.
“Risk management realizes that
there are going to be losses in any
such complex operation, but seeks
to minimize the costs of those
losses, and seeks to minimize damage to the reputation of the company,” he said.
Spivey, on his first visit to the
Middle East, pressed the point
that the ASIS conference was an
educational tool, as well as a
chance to see what peers in the
security field have achieved, and a
networking opportunity. The outgoing president said ASIS has to
continue to expand its horizons
in the international realm to
maintain its high status in the security world. “ASIS, to be relevant
in five years, has to understand
‘international’,” he said. “We will
respond to the international marketplace.” Spivey noted that a
study on how best to approach
international expansion was already underway.
The event was officially opened
the next morning by 25-year ASIS
veteran and conference organizer
Samir S. Raslan, the ASIS senior
regional vice president based in
Saudi Arabia. Remarks were offered in both Arabic and English.
The exhibit hall opening ceremony
followed, then Clarke took the
podium to speak on the “Age of
Global Technology.”
Clarke told his audience that

the myriad threats that could affect
the bottom line if they want to
gain larger budgets for company
protection measures.
After a buffet lunch, educational
sessions followed that touched on
all aspects of security. Pam Collins,
executive director of the Justice and
Safety Center at Eastern Kentucky
University, gave a précis of critical
infrastructure at risk in the United
States, including 300,000 miles of
freight rail networks, 500 commercial service airports, and 45,000
miles of interstate freeway.
Professor Martin Gill of the
University of Leicester presented
results of a major survey of Britain’s CCTV network that found
the system was ineffective largely
because of poor management.
Roy Bordes, president and chief
executive officer of the Bordes
Group Inc., a security consulting
firm, spoke about emerging technologies that provide a wide latitude of access control applications,
including the use of biometrics,
smart cards, and RFID technologies,
as well as securing transmission
mediums.
Other presentations centered
on ship security alert systems,
explosives threats and target hardening, and developments in the
methodology of terrorism risk
analysis.
The opening day concluded
with a speech by Khalid Al Falih,
senior vice president of industrial

system security; the constant exchange of intelligence to improve
defenses and anticipate and eliminate emerging threats; and to beef
up physical security including
gates, sensors, and surveillance
systems. Al Falih said his company
stressed four crucial “Ds”: deter,
detect, delay, and deploy.
The second day of the event
featured a lead-off speech by Dr.
Flynt Leverett, former senior director for Middle East Affairs at the
National Security Council. Leverett
argued that the Middle East will
become a chief growth region for
the security industry given its stillexpanding importance in providing oil and gas.
Leverett’s speech was followed
by another wide variety of sessions.

relations for Saudi Aramco. Al
Falih discussed his firm’s intention
to increase production as world
energy needs increase, and how
security plays a vital role in securing installations. “We are the largest
petroleum company in the world,
and we have an enormous stake in
security,” he told attendees. Al
Falih said that the goals of Saudi

with real-life anecdotes. Nejolla
Korris, a certified fraud examiner
and CEO of the Sponsorship
Group, Ltd., in Alberta, Canada,
gave a lesson on how written and
oral testimonies are picked apart
for linguistic clues indicating
whether or not the subject is lying.
Another representative of Alberta,
Howard Moster, CPP, PSP, a sen-
ior partner at Practical Protection
Associates Inc., gave a rundown of
five-year master plans that companies can depend on for a security
framework.
That evening attendees were
treated to an “Arabian Night.” Tables
were spread out in the grassy
pool area of the Gulf Hotel under
clear starlit skies, and over the
warm air wafted the sounds of
regional music. Dancers performed,
craftsmen worked on molding
pottery from wet clay, and guests
took turns supporting a falcon on
their arm with the help of a falconer. An international banquet
was served.
The conference wrapped up the
following day with a speech by Dr.
Jessica Stern, leading U.S. expert
on terrorism and a lecturer at
Harvard University. Stern’s overall
warning was that disparate groups
with seemingly conflicting agendas
may join forces against perceived
common enemies: globalization
and Western culture. Her presentation was followed by another
two hours of sessions touching on
topics such as speaker verification
systems, facility management and
safety, and maritime security.
Spivey spoke at the closing
luncheon of the conference, which
had been held in Bahrain for 20
years before the six-year hiatus. ◆

IN MEMORIAM
A
SIS is saddened to report the loss
of Arturo Rivas-Vaca, CPP, an
assistant police chief of the city
of Tijuana, Mexico. On September 21,
unknown assailants fired at Rivas-Vaca
with automatic weapons while he sat in
his police car. The attack, which spilled
over into a busy
thoroughfare,
also left RivasVaca’s bodyguard
and a bystander
wounded.
Rivas-Vaca’s
memorial service
at Tijuana’s City
Rivas-Vaca
Hall drew hundreds of fellow officers, public officials,
friends, and family. He was the fifth law
enforcement official murdered in September in Tijuana; there is suspicion that the
deaths are in retaliation for arrests of
Arellano Félix drug cartel members.
Rivas-Vaca earned his Certified Protection Professional® (CPP) designation
in 2004.

Guideline Released
A
SIS International’s Commission on Guidelines and the
ASIS Council on Information Asset Protection have released
a draft Information Asset Protection
Guideline. The guideline was created
to help organizations develop and
implement comprehensive risk-based
strategies to protect intellectual
property, proprietary information,
and other intangible assets.
The premise for the guideline is
that an organization’s competitive
edge is the result of
information derived
from the creativity
and innovation of
its personnel and
that the loss of this
information would
negatively impact
the organization’s
investment in personnel, time, finances, product,
or property. No
matter what the
specific information
is—a trade secret,
patent information,
or other intellectual
property—organizations must take
protective measures. The Information Asset Protection
Draft Guideline, when completed,
will provide the necessary guidance in developing these measures.
“In today’s business environment,
where a company’s sustainability
is in many cases dependent on
data or other information in a
computer or training invested in
personnel, organizations must have
a plan to protect these intangible
assets,” says Regis Becker, CPP,
chair of the commission and former
ASIS president. “The Information
Asset Protection Draft Guideline provides an excellent start to that
plan, but it can be refined and
improved through the efforts of
business and security leaders who
take the time to lend their thoughts
during the review period.”

In Brief
Letter to the Editor
I
read the recent exchange of
letters in November-December’s Dynamics on concealed
weapons in vehicles on private
property. It is interesting to watch
from afar the gun debate in the
United States, but also a little sad,
particularly because it is often
said that in terms of crime patterns, we are about five to 10 years
behind that which happens in
California.
The Australian constitution
does not contain a right to bear
arms. Probably as a result of this,
gun culture is unlikely to ever become accepted by the Australian
community and gun shops are
rare here. The worst gun-related
event in Australia’s history was
the shooting of 35 people by Martin Bryant in 1995. This event led
to a massive gun buyback of approximately 640,000 weapons by
the commonwealth government.
We have low levels of gun crime—
generally a few hundred deaths
per year—and contrary to the
comments [in a previous letter to
the editor by] by Donald Davis,
CPP, we do not have rampant in-

creases in violent crime. That does
not mean we don’t have gun crime,
because any criminals can obtain a
gun if they require one to commit
any crime. This is especially true
in organized gangs.
Returning to the concealed
weapons issue: Irrespective of
what the lawyers would argue is
the dominant clause in the U.S.
Constitution, the right of a private
individual or corporation to deny
entry onto their property of a device which is designed to kill
would surely seem a fundamental
human right which cannot be
overridden.

and special issues involved in the
management of large-scale natural
and technological disasters. The
book discusses special issues encountered in the management of
international disasters, and it explains the various private, nongovernmental, national, and international agencies that assist in the
preparedness, mitigation, response,
10
and recovery phases of national
and regional events.
Next is High-Technology Crime Investigator’s Handbook: Establishing and
Managing a High-Technology Crime Prevention Program, Second Edition, by
Dr. Gerald L. Kovacich and Dr.
Andy Jones, also published by Elsevier Butterworth-Heinemann.
The high-technology crime investigator’s profession is one of the
fastest growing in the world today,
as information-security issues and
crimes related to them are increasing in number and magnitude.
This book informs professionals of
the potential
risks of computer crimes,
and serves as a
guide to establishing and
managing a
high-technology
crime investigation program.
Each chapter is
updated with
the latest information and guidance, and nine new chapters cover
trends, global threats, interviews
and interrogations, establishing
and managing a computer forensics library, the pros and cons of
outsourcing the high-technology
investigative function, and becoming a high-technology crime investigative consultant.
The final new addition is Securing Global Transportation Networks: A
Total Security Management Approach,
by Luke Ritter, J. Michael Barrett,
and Rosalyn Wilson.
Published by McGraw-Hill, the
book demonstrates how improved
security processes can create value
across all business functions. Readers will learn a new security management philosophy, as explained
through domestic and international examples and case studies
ranging from major retailers such
as Home Depot to shipping giants
such as Maersk and FedEx. This
book explains globalization’s impact on transportation networks
and how to create a framework
for realizing a return on security
investments by integrating security as a core business process. It
details how transportation firms,
investors, and insurance companies can measure and reward
smart security practices that protect a firm’s fixed assets, assets in
transit, brand equity and goodwill,
and human capital. ◆

Board Member Interview
Eduard J. Emde, CPP
W
hen asked
how he
came to be
on ASIS International’s Board of Directors, Eduard J. Emde,
CPP, deadpans, “A mistake. But a very nice
mistake.” Then he laughs.
“No, I went through the
ranks. I was a chapter
secretary, chapter chair,
regional vice president,
and other posts.” He
won election to the
Board in 2006, becoming
“The non-North American voice, so to speak,”
he states.
A security professional
since 1987, Emde has more
than 10 years of experience in security management. He previously held
positions at ABN AMRO
and KPMG. Currently
head of safety and security for the European
Space Technology and
Research Centre in Noordwijk, The Netherlands,
Emde will be moving to
a new company, Interseco
of The Hague, in April.
P H O T O S B Y PAU L T E I X E I R A
Q: What will your new position with
Interseco entail?
A: Interseco has asked me to join
as manager of the security consultancy section for the Benelux. Clients are increasingly keen on getting assistance when dealing with
security policy and security management themes. This offers me an
opportunity to broaden my horizons by working with all sorts of
organizations that face these issues.
14
Q: What security challenges do you face
at the European Space Agency today?
A: A wide variety. At the European Space Agency, the safety,
health, and security needs differ
by organizational unit because of
the specific activities and corresponding risk profiles of each.
There are pockets within the organization at very low risk and
other units have very high and
specific risks. The challenge secu-
rity faces is dealing with all these
different contexts and needs so
that the advice and services we
supply are fine-tuned to the specific
situation. We don’t have a onesize-fits-all approach.
Q: Of the work you’ve done for the European Space Agency, what are you the
proudest of?
A: Generally I’m proudest of the
small things—when something is

Schol (left) and Arie Dujndam. He will join the
company in April. Left: Emde at the European
Space Technology and Research Center.
really beneficial to the users, or
when it’s accepted by everyone—
and not something really dramatic. I’m also proud of the trust
placed in us as hosts for industry
satellites.
Q: Have you ever had a mentor?
A: There are a number of people
who taught me about security
and business in general. These
people shared their experiences
and provided me with counsel
and candid advice. If I had to
choose one individual, I’d name
Gerrit de Gooyer. Both before
and after I worked for him at
ABN AMRO Bank, he was a great
mentor to me.
Q: Do you try to mentor, too?
A: Time permitting, I try to be of
help to colleagues who seek a second opinion or an outsider’s view
M A R C H /A P R I L 2 0 0 7
of a professional topic, an organizational problem, or career issue. Although it is difficult to estimate the
direct benefit to my colleagues, it
gives me great satisfaction and I am
proud that we have a
high level of mutual
trust within the security community.
Q: Has ASIS membership helped you
during your career?
A: It has helped me expand my
professional network and my activities have also given me great
access to solutions to problems in
many cases through education, but
primarily by knowing people who
knew the answer and helped.
Q: What advice do you
have for your peers now?
A: We have to remember balance in
addressing the variety
of risks. Often, risks
are incomparable.
With terrorism on the
top of security’s list,
we should ask ourselves whether we can
manage the other,
mainstream risks and
protect the bottom
line for our companies
while addressing the
high-impact/low-probability ones. Depending on the circumstances, we should
not shy away from
making tough decisions on where we
put our efforts.
Q: How did you first hear of ASIS?
A: That would have been in the
late 1980s. I must have read about
it in one of the professional magazines that mentioned a European
chapter. I became a student member in 1990, and then when I
joined KPMG I became a fulltime
member.
Q: Why are you a volunteer leader?
A: When I joined ASIS, I was
really surprised by what the Society
had to offer me. I’m happy that I
can now do something in return.
Also, being a volunteer is rewarding itself and it brings opportunities
to expand professional networks,
to learn a lot, and at the same
time to enjoy being immersed in
all the activities. As a Board
member, I also try to foster and
expand the international character
and scope of ASIS. ◆

SIS Region VI has helped solve
a security dilemma at Johnson
Space Center. T-38 Talons—twinengine, high-altitude, supersonic jets used
for undergraduate pilot and pilot instructor training—were installed at Talon Park
in Space Center Houston (SCH) to welcome visitors, but also seemed to invite
children and adults to climb on the aircraft. SCH needed a security system to
protect the display, but the Space Center
did not have funds to buy it. SCH is a nonprofit educational organization that serves
as the official visitor center for the Johnson
Space Center.
Pam Duncan, security and safety man-
ager for SCH, explained the
problem to Michael Crocker,
CPP, ASIS Region VI regional
vice president, who suggested that ASIS members
might be willing to provide
the goods and services
needed. Crocker, who is
president of Michael
Crocker, CPP, & Associates,
coordinated the efforts of
several contractors who pulled together expertise and resources to create an efficient
and effective security solution.

of Foster Fence provided the unique fence
stanchions to support the system. Maurine
Dorsey of Anixter provided optic cabling and
connectors. Jimmy Pouncey of Walker Engineering provided donations to support the
CCTV-intercom-horn installation.
Besides the intrusion detection fencing,
the completed installation includes a remote
intercom so personnel in the command center can warn persistent intruders that they
are under surveillance. If an intrusion is attempted, the system alerts officers, who can
respond immediately with horn and voice
commands over a single multimode fiber.
Overall the installation balances effective security with aesthetics. Crocker values
the products and services donated at
$50,000, and adds that all the participants
feel satisfied. He urges other regions and
chapters to plan pro bono projects for nonprofits and other worthy organizations in
their areas.
