Terrorism Conference Covers
Threats and Crimes
T
he ASIS International Global Terrorism, Political Instability, and
International Crime Council held
its annual conference in Alexandria, Virginia, in April. The title, “International Threats and Transnational Crime
Conference” highlighted the global focus.
Conference Cochair Dr. Robin McFee,
a member of the ASIS Global Terrorism
Council, and medical director of Threat
Science, a security consultancy, said one
of the objectives was to replace the old
security construct based upon an artificial

divide between “foreign” and “domestic”
threats, with a new paradigm that considers threats from a transnational perspective,
viewing security in terms of issues that
cross boundaries and are interconnected
across the globe. “We brought in experts
with international experience based in the
U.S., Middle East, Canada, and Mexico,
to share their experiences with worldwide
threats that have far reaching impact, including affecting the U.S.,” said McFee.
Another goal was to delve into issues
that have not received the attention they
deserve but that are critically
important and threaten virtually all phases of security.
Topics covered included how
to run a business in dangerous environments, such as
Mexico, and how to work
with Interpol.
John Clark of Pfizer, who
shortly before the conference
was interviewed on CBS’s 60
Minutes, discussed the global
impact of, and challenges associated with, clamping down
on pharmaceutical counterfeiting operations. He noted that
21 medicines are being counterfeited in 50 countries, with
Viagra being the most counterfeited drug. “It’s the reason
Pfizer really stepped up and
pushed global security to the
forefront,” he said. Free trade
zones are a huge problem,
noted Clark, as is the lack of
laws against counterfeiting.
Another problem is that

nfathomable even a decade ago, our reliance on the
Internet for everything from communication to
banking to running a large business has created a
whole new category of dangerously unseen vulnerabilities.
Cybercrime — which includes theft, sabotage, intrusions,
unauthorized surveillance, fraud and cyberterrorism —
offers a low-cost, low risk, and nonviolent way for thieves
and enemies to quietly gather privileged intelligence, drain
our assets and dismantle our defenses — sometimes weeks
and even months before we are aware a crime has been
committed. Due to its rapid technological advances,
anonymity and potential for causing theft and
destruction on a massive scale through the simple stroke
of a key, cybercrime is emerging as one of the most
daunting threats we face today.
Computers and servers in the United States are the most
aggressively targeted information systems in the world,
and the attacks are intensifying in frequency and
severity. These attacks can threaten our nation’s
economy, public works, communication systems and
computer networks — and a computer and an Internet
connection are all that is needed to wreak havoc.
As our nation grows more and more reliant on information
technologies, it also becomes more exposed to attackers,
both foreign and domestic. Terrorists and adversarial
nations are probing for ways to launch cyber attacks on our
critical infrastructure. We as a country must remain vigilant
to the threat.
The future cyber landscape appears even more ominous.
Experts project that if technology continues to develop at
this rate, greater technological change will occur in the next
20 years than occurred in all of the 20th century. The cyber
domain is rapidly expanding the ability to create and share
knowledge, but it is also enabling those who aim to steal,
corrupt, harm or destroy public or private assets vital to
national interests. The same technological advances that are
benefitting us are — unfortunately — giving our opponents
the same cyber muscle.
Online criminal organizations are growing in strength
and diversity and operate somewhat brazenly within certain
nations — such as Russia — in which stealing American
assets is not considered a legitimate offense. From 2009 to
2010 alone, it is estimated that the number of malicious
web pages jumped 111 percent, of which 80 percent were
legitimate sites hacked to serve up malware — software
designed to secretly access a computer system without the
owner’s informed consent. Malware can include such
categories as viruses, worms, Trojan horses — malicious
software that looks legitimate but when downloaded allows
the attacker remote access to a computer — spyware,
scareware, crimeware and other infecting software or
programs, terms which are working their way more and more
into the common vernacular.
Our society today, in an overwhelming majority of its
facets, is dangerously dependent on cyberspace — a
dependency that is now necessary and has grown rapidly
over the past decade. We must be fully aware of these
mounting cyber vulnerabilities so that we can protect
against them.
Daily perils notwithstanding, however, cybercrime is not the
only cyber threat. What is known as cyberterrorism is defined
as the premeditated use of disruptive activities against computers
or networks, with the intention to intimidate, cause harm, or
further social, ideological, religious or political objectives. A
cyber attack can result in violence against persons or
property, shut down needed systems or simply generate fear
— the currency of choice for terrorist operators. Through
seasoned computer manipulation, cyber terrorist attacks can
cause explosions, plane crashes, water contamination or severe
economic loss through theft or bank and credit card fraud.
Perpetrators using cyber means for terrorist aims have an
alarming variety of options at their disposal. They can use
computers to shut down a power grid, create a blackout, send a
wireless virus out to computers and phones to disrupt
communication, shut off water, heat and telephone service, or
alter air traffic data and controls to create a midair collision.
They can steal money to fund their activities, pollute the water
supply, cause a train or subway crash or shut down electricity at
hospitals. They can also launch what is known as a denial-ofservice (DOS) attack that floods a computer resource — banks,
credit card companies, communication networks, power grids
or others — with requests, making it unavailable to users and
disrupting operations. Targets can range from communication
systems, regional power grids and the stock exchange to cable,
satellite or Internet providers — anything that relies on a
computer network for its day-to-day operations.
Cyber attacks can also be used in the support of
physical ones by disabling
critical defenses and
also interfering with
emergency response.
Terrorists plan to
coordinate physical
attacks with cyber
attacks to maximize
damage and fear.

rgency Is Now
Such is the raw potential to attack individuals, organizations,
infrastructures and key economic sectors in a modern digital
world — with a few keystrokes aiding physical aggression.
Al Qaeda has publicly proclaimed its aim to devastate the
United States economy — which is computer dependent —
while Osama bin Laden has spoken of “bleeding America to
the point of bankruptcy.” Along the same lines, al Qaeda in
the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) is currently promoting
“Operation Hemorrhage,” a multilayered attack on America’s
financial well-being through a steady campaign of numerous
and diverse operations intended to drain our economy.
Al Qaeda uses the Internet to recruit, radicalize and incite
terrorism — posting videos on how to build backpack bombs
and bioweapons and even using social networking to link
terrorist plotters and plans. Terrorists are using cyber means to
target financial institutions, utility companies and Internet
service providers. Unfortunately, even our most sophisticated
systems continue to have vulnerabilities, even as potential
attackers hone and develop their skills. Adversarial nations
worldwide have adopted cyber espionage and cyber attacks as
staples of modern warfare, and American defense officials
estimate that more than 100 countries are currently attempting
to penetrate United States networks, with the greatest
concentration of attacks emanating from China and Russia.
If unauthorized individuals — whether criminals or
terrorists — have access to your computer, there are
relatively easy methods for extracting information. A
myriad of software programs are easily available that can
crack common passwords
that we believe are
protecting e-mails,
bank accounts, and
other information,
while some easyto-install software
and hardware can
log every keystroke.

Cyber criminals may also rely on a popular technique known
as “phishing.” Phishing is the criminally fraudulent process
of attempting to acquire sensitive information by
masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic
communication. It is typically carried out by e-mail or
instant messaging, and it often directs users to enter details
— such as passwords, bank routing numbers and credit cards
— at a fake website whose look and feel are virtually
identical to the real one.
While anti-virus software helps to a degree, it cannot keep
up with the pace of malware evolution. As our technology
grows, so does that of cybercrime perpetrators. Moreover,
when it comes to updating malware definitions, you cannot
defend against a malicious code that you have never seen
before. Cybercrime attacks are becoming more sophisticated
every day in hopes of gaining access to confidential
intellectual property. All corporations — no matter what their
products — are vulnerable to the theft of their intellectual and
proprietary information through cyber attacks. In addition,
corporate employees’ and executives’ personal e-mail
accounts also may be targeted, especially if they are involved
with academics, sensitive research and development, national
defense or government agencies.
The Time for Urgency Is Now®
Clearly, we can no longer afford to ignore the threat from
these increasingly sophisticated cyber enemies — from
technologically advanced governments or terrorist groups
aiming to disarm us or fund their activities, to individual
hackers looking for money, information and even fame in
the hacker community. The digital age brings with it
many benefits, but also many challenges for law
enforcement and our institutions, and a secure cyberspace
must be maintained to ensure that the nation’s economy
continues to grow and our way of life is protected.
Knowing our systems and the data they contain is essential for
constructing a risk management framework that will guard
your organization against potential cyber attacks. Arming
ourselves with the most sophisticated cyber shields available,
along with efficient reporting systems that allow for a quick
response when something seems amiss, are critical aspects of
risk management. We should also be continually aware of the
latest consumer alerts and tips for protecting against attacks.
A successful coordinated cyber attack could cripple power,
financial or military systems — or corporations — with
devastating results. Our adversaries are staying informed
of the most current trends in cyber warfare and
vulnerabilities in our protective mechanisms, and we need
to do the same.

are pretty good at what they do,
making it hard to spot fakes. Additionally, the public and the media
often don’t appreciate the harm
done. And then there’s the fact that
it’s a hugely lucrative crime. One
study in Germany estimated that
for every $1,000 invested by the
counterfeiters, they earn $500,000.
Timothy Williams, Interpol U.S.
director, spoke about the types of
crimes Interpol deals with and
tried to dispel myths about what
the agency does. “Interpol is not
about agents traveling around,” he
said. “It is a worldwide police communications network...[and a] huge
criminal investigative resource.”
Interpol does not compete for
cases; it works with the agency
handling the case, he said.
He noted how computerization
and the Internet have helped facilitate information sharing and made
it possible for the organization to
be much more relevant. For example, in 2007, Interpol set up a database of stolen documents, such as
passports. There are now 31 million records in the database. Border
agents can check documents they
are being shown against the database. The database also includes
stolen works of art and fingerprints.
Interpol sometimes issues alerts
to law enforcement authorities in
its 188 member countries. It may
issue a red notice, which Williams
calls the closest thing to an international arrest warrant, or a blue
notice, which is put out when information is sought on a known
individual. That type of alert
helped authorities nab a child molester who had committed offenses
in southeast Asia and then returned
to the United States.
Priority crimes include drugs,
trafficking, terrorism, hi-tech
crime, and corruption. Piracy is
also receiving increased attention.
Interpol is expanding. It has
plans to open an office in Singapore
in recognition of the increasing importance of Asia, noted Williams. It
also plans to create a private sector
4
liaison position to facilitate publicprivate cooperation.
Nancy L. Rivard, the only nonsecurity professional who presented
at the conference, spoke about the
problem of trafficking young children. Rivard is president of Airline
Ambassadors, a group she started
in 1996 to provide medical aid and
other services to children in need.
In 2009, she explained, she became
aware of the problem of child trafficking and has since made fighting
this scourge a growing focus of her
organization.
One problem, she said, is that
airlines don’t know what to look
for. She is working to get airlines
to sign ethical codes of conduct
and agree to protect children from
sexual tourism by training staff to
look for suspicious signs, such as
an adult with a child when the
adult doesn’t know the child’s
name or age or doesn’t like answering questions about where they are
going. She noted that airlines do
terrorism training anyway and this
additional topic could be incorporated at no cost.
In March, Delta was the first
airline in the United States to sign
the code. Rivard hopes to work
with Delta to develop a four-hour
training module that might become
a model for the industry. She will
also be working with the Center
for Missing and Exploited Children.
Rivard is personally funding
much of the public relations effort
to get the word out. To learn

European Security Conference a Hit
A
Photo by Joe Klamar/Getty Images
SIS International 10th European Security Conference
was held April 3-6 in Vienna, Austria. The event gathered
approximately 360 senior security
managers from 44 countries.
The conference was opened by
keynoter Michal Moroz, deputy
minister of the interior of the
Czech Republic, who outlined the
Czech government’s plans to combat corruption. On the second
day, the keynote came from Hugh
McLeod, MBE, chief operating officer of Stirling Assynt, who explained the geopolitics of the recent
Arab uprisings. The third day’s
keynote speaker was Brigadier Ian
Abbott, OBE, independent member of the Thames Valley Police
Authority, who elaborated on the
need for public-private partnerships
in protecting critical infrastructure.
The conference featured 36 highlevel educational sessions provided
by speakers that included Rolf
Rosenvinge, CSO of GE Global
Banking Nordics, who spoke on
industrial espionage; Dr. Christoph
Rojahn, senior manager of forensic
and dispute services for Deloitte
AG, who discussed organized
crime; and Dr. Henriette Haas, associate professor of forensic psychology at the University of Zurich,
who spoke on de-escalation skills.
In addition, sessions designed especially for Chief Security Officers
(CSOs) were organized by the ASIS
CSO Roundtable, which is the
ASIS forum for the most senior security professionals from the largest
and most influential enterprises in
the world. The conference also featured an exhibition hall of security
product and service providers.
Next year, the ASIS 11th Annual
European Security Conference will
take place in London, April 15-17.
The event will kick off on April 15
with a President’s Reception. During the following two days, delegates will be able to attend three
keynote presentations, as well as
33 high-level educational sessions
divided over three parallel tracks.
Among these will be sessions on
certification, convergence and standards; sessions for CSOs organized
by the CSO Roundtable; an en-
larged exhibition featuring the latest in security technology and services; and unrivalled networking
opportunities at the President’s
Reception, business lunches, and
networking breaks.

First Responders
Honored at ASIS NYC
Security Expo
O
N THURSDAY, MAY 12, approximately 1,900 security
professionals gathered at the Jacob K. Javits Convention
Center to attend the ASIS International 21st Annual New
York City Security (NYC) Expo. The event combines education,
networking, and exhibits. “Security practitioners from all aspects
of private security and law enforcement attend this event each
year. It’s a powerful forum where peers and experts engage in
thought-provoking discussions on challenges, solutions, and future
strategies,” says ASIS NYC Chapter Chair Kevin O’Brien, CPP.
“Being in the city allows us to draw upon the knowledge and experience of the industry’s leading authorities from the Fortune 500,
as well as foremost security experts working in the public sector.”
ACCORDING TO NYC Security
Expo Chair Raymond L. Dean,
CPP, attendance reached a 10-year
high for this year’s event.
In observance of the tenth anniversary of 9-11, the NYC Chapter
recognized the sacrifice and heroism
of the members of the New York
City Police Department (NYPD),
the New York City Fire Department
(FDNY), and the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD) at its Person of the Year Luncheon, themed
“Remembrance and Thanks.”
Each year, in conjunction with
the expo, the ASIS NYC Chapter’s
Person of the Year Award is presented to an individual or group
that has contributed to the safety
and security of the city. In remembrance of the police officers and
firefighters who lost their lives on
9-11 and in recognition of the continuing efforts of each of these
three departments to maintain the
safety and security of the city, the
chapter presented this year’s award
to NYPD Commissioner Raymond
W. Kelly, FDNY Commissioner
Salvatore J. Cassano, and PAPD Superintendent Michael A. Fedorko.
“There is no greater sacrifice

than to lose one’s life in the service
of others. With this award, we
honor the memory of those who
fell and the dedication of those
who live today with illnesses and
disabilities resulting from their acts
of heroism on that history-changing day,” stated Dean at the event.
“We also commend the innovative
men and women of the NYPD,
FDNY, and PAPD for their tireless
efforts to mitigate potential risks
that threaten our communities each
and every day.”
The chapter remembered the 343
members of the FDNY, 37 members of the PAPD, and 23 members
of the NYPD who were killed.
The 24 private security officers
who gave their lives on 9-11 while
performing their duties were also
recognized in the chapter chair’s
remarks. “These groups and what
they have done and continue to
do highlight the nexus between
public and private security and life
safety professionals. The ASIS
NYC Chapter continues to nurture
its relationships with the NYPD,
FDNY, and PAPD at any opportunity,” stated O’Brien.
Seminar. In addition to honoring the heroes of 9-11, the event offered plenty of educational sessions.
This year’s early-bird education session, held before the expo’s opening, was “Consultative/Collaborative
Design: Your End-User’s Best Physical Security Solution.” The session
explored key trends in the traditional security industry, including
image quality standards, video to
meet compliance, the security mas-
10
ter plan of the future, and selling
managed and cloud-based services.
Additionally, attendees were provided tools and information on a
process combining consultative and
collaborative sales that addresses
customers’ unique challenges.
The opening seminar session
examined the tough economic environment faced by security professionals and some lessons learned.
Titled “What Now?,” the session
featured a panel of experts made
up of security directors and solution providers who have successfully adapted to the new economic
landscape. They offered attendees
personal insights into business
practices that can be adapted to
grow their companies, divisions,
or work portfolios.
CSO. The CSO Roundtable of
ASIS and the InfraGard Partnership for Critical Infrastructure
Protection hosted two concurrent
afternoon sessions.
ASIS Board of Directors and
CSO Roundtable Member Brian
Allen, CPP, of Time Warner Cable,
led “Climbing the Corporate Security Ladder,” an open panel discussion on issues relevant to personal
branding, executive-level communication, certifications, networking,
and the importance of a business
background. Allen was joined by
CSO Roundtable cochairs Kevin
Donovan of Johnson & Johnson
and Richard Gunthner of MasterCard, as well as CSO Roundtable
members Bryan J. Fort, CPP, of
McCormick & Company, and
Kathy Lavinder of Security & In-
vestigative Placement Consultants.
“Focus on business skills,” advised Richard Gunthner, “and find
a special or unique area of expertise such as international business
to complement your security experience and knowledge.” This sentiment was echoed by each of the
panelists.
Donovan urged those in the
audience to “be part of the solution—not an obstacle” by understanding the relationship between
security and business.
During “Defending Against Cyber Weapons of Mass Destruction,”
speakers Chuck Manto, CEO of
Instant Access Networks, LLC, and
Zach Tudor, program director of
Computer Science Laboratory, SRI
International, provided insights
into the potential effects of electromagnetic pulses and other possible
weapons of the next generation of
cyber attacks.
Session organizer Rob Pate, vice
president for Cybersecurity at SAIC
commented, “We are pleased that
the continued partnership between
InfraGard and ASIS can leverage
the expertise of both organizations’
members and result in excellent
programs like the ASIS NYC Security Expo. We are happy that we
could bring worldwide experts to
this year’s event to build awareness
of such critical cyber issues.”
The exhibit floor was a hub of
activity for professionals from all
sectors of the industry who work
within and outside of the region.
Attendees visited the exhibit floor
throughout the day, connecting
with colleagues, making new contacts, and meeting with representatives from more than 100 security
product and service exhibitors.
The 22nd ASIS NYC Security
Expo will be held April 25-26, 2012.

Cargo Theft
12
transportation statutes and necessary cargo-carriage liability coverage
will be presented with a focus on
appropriate law enforcement policy
and related governmental coordination. The creation of a secure environment for people and cargo will
be examined comprehensively from
a supply-chain standpoint, and in
specific detail from a terminal perspective, including the latest in security technology advancements
and human factor integration.
International trends in supplychain governance and the uncertainty of global political resolve will
be analyzed as key factors requiring
substantial change for the improvement of supply chain security integrity in the face of the ever present threat of criminal activity.
The fee for this program is $595
for ASIS members and $695 for

On Sunday, September 18, “Advanced Guard Force Management: Improving Performance/Reducing Turnover” will be presented
by Stevan P. Layne, CPP, and
William J. Powers III of the International Foundation for Cultural
Property Protection.
The program starts with the
premise that the basic element in
private security today is still the
security officer. Improper preemployment screening of officers,
weak training programs, and outdated policies and practices that
result in even one bad performer
can derail an entire protection
program.

CSO Roundtable
Key Topics Debated in Vienna
A
re threats endemic to the
United States creeping onto
European shores? How do
European companies get security
teams from individual countries to
work with counterparts across European borders? Is it effective to
discuss threats to the organization
in new-employee orientations?
And how has the nuclear fallout
in Japan influenced environmental
activists in Europe?
These were just a few of the
questions raised and debated during
the four panel sessions held by the
ASIS International CSO Roundtable at the ASIS European Conference in Vienna, Austria, in early
April. Springboarding from opening comments made by panelists,
session attendees frequently drove
the discussions on topics such as
whether formerly U.S.-exclusive
threats were migrating to Europe,
how to work with global teams,
how to deal with corporate espionage, and how to address extremist threats to soft targets.
The four CSO Roundtable sessions ran concurrent with ASIS
sessions on Monday and Tuesday.
In previous years, the CSO program occurred the day before the
ASIS conference began.
At the opening CSO session on
Monday, Former ASIS President
and Securitas USA Chairman Don
Walker, CPP, presented the results
of his company’s survey of the top
threats and concerns of U.S. organizations. In the latest version of
this annual exercise, cyberthreats
dislodged workplace violence from
its long-held top position. But attendees challenged the applicability
of this data to Europe, observing
that workplace violence falls way
down on the list of threats while,
for example, unethical business
conduct is much more of a concern on the continent than it is in

the United States. Other CSOs
pointed out that today’s risks
are so dynamic that they can
change week to week or day
by day, as is evidenced by the
surge in concerns about mitigating travel risk after the
Middle East “revolutions” and
the earthquake, tsunami, and
nuclear meltdown in Japan.
(As a result of this discussion,
following the conference, the
CSO Roundtable conducted a
much briefer survey on threats
to European companies and
assets.)
Leading the discussion on global
teams, security chiefs Tyson Johnson, CPP, of Celestica, Georg Freundorfer of Oracle EMEA, and Erik
Marangoni of Bank Austria (part
of UniCredit) offered overviews of
how their departments function
and how they cull best practices
from particular security teams. Local teams can help companies thrive
in local markets but can be difficult
to manage centrally, they said. Audience members talked about their
own programs, which included
regular webinars to keep regional
security teams on the same page or
apprise them of a new standard.
Lively interaction engaged the
audience at the CSO sessions.
Tuesday’s CSO fare was just as
lively, with Rolf Rosenvinge, CSO
of GE Global Banking Nordics, and
Jelle Niemantsverdriet, a forensics
and investigative expert for Verizon
Business Security Solutions, discussing whether economic espionage
has actually increased as a result of
the economic downturn. Whether
it has or not, Rosenvinge stressed
the importance of mapping an organization’s data, then implementing
controls commensurate with the
value of the data and the level of
risk. Attendees offered their own
best practices, such as showing employees photographs of clean desks
to demonstrate a clean-desk policy,
on the theory that pictorial representation trumps verbiage. Another
CSO mentioned his company’s
communal approach to preventing
insider crime via staff looking out
for each other’s welfare, as personal
problems or changes in a worker’s
demeanor or routine often indicate
a security risk.
Steve Davis of the U.K. National
Trust and Aodh Mac Fhionnbhairr
of utility giant E.ON initiated the
give-and-take on protecting soft
targets from extremism. As Davis
explained, the U.K. National Trust,
a charitable organization, protects a
vast number of far-flung British
treasures, including natural wonders

CSO Roundtable
such as the White Cliffs of Dover;
hundreds of historic houses, castles,
and pubs; 6,000 prehistoric sites;
and 76 nature reserves. It relies on
60,000 volunteers to serve as its
security eyes and ears. Protest
groups that pose a threat include
those who oppose sports such as
fox hunting, divorced fathers seeking access to their children, and
ardent nationalists.
Threats to utilities are often
more frequent and prominent than
those posed to cultural sites, and
Mac Fhionnbhairr discussed the
environmental activism movement
in Europe and the legal framework
that sets the limits on their activities. Other participants discussed
the move from physical to virtual
attacks by extremists, as well as the
effect of activists on an organization’s reputation.

Roundtable Track in Orlando
T
he ASIS CSO Roundtable will present a CSO track at the ASIS 57th Annual Seminar
and Exhibits in Orlando, Florida, September 19-22. The program will feature private
sessions with keynote speakers Jeb Bush and Vicente Fox. Sessions, led by senior
security executives from some of the world’s largest companies, will look at public-private collaborations during a crisis, social media risks and rewards, becoming a trusted
advisor to the CSO, how global changes in corporate liability put companies and executives at risk, and what the revolutions in the Middle East will mean to multinationals in
the near and long terms. This program is available for free for CSO Roundtable members
and for an additional charge for attendees who are eligible to join the Roundtable.
Latin American
Summit Announced
T
he ASIS CSO Roundtable
will host its 2nd Annual
CSO Roundtable Latin
America Summit in São Paulo,
Brazil, November 7-8. The summit
will cover critical business and security issues such as public-private
collaboration, dealing with cultural
differences in global organizations,
corporate security’s role in pre-
venting internal fraud, and preparations for the World Cup and the
Olympic Games.
Last year’s summit drew more
than 100 security executives from
around the world to discuss security challenges to business opportunities in Brazil.

Wounded Warriors to Work
A
Photo by Lauren G. Randall
SIS INTERNATIONAL is increasing its efforts to assist the
Wounded Warriors Project and is asking chapter and regional volunteer leaders to lend a hand with the Wounded
Warrior’s initiative, the Warriors to Work Program.
“This is a good investment of our time and energy…helping
those who have served our country to reenter the work force,” says
ASIS President Raymond T. O’Hara, CPP, who sent a message to
the leadership in April, explaining the three-fold mission of
Wounded Warriors: to raise awareness and enlist public aid for the
needs of injured service members; to help injured service members
to assist each other; and to provide programs and services to meet
the needs of injured service members.
O’HARA’S MESSAGE urged volunteer leaders to “encourage your
chapter members to post employment opportunities [at the Warriors
to Work Web site] that may be
appropriate and to take an active
interest in this effort.”
Previously, O’Hara states, ASIS
worked with Wounded Warriors to
provide complimentary attendance
to the Society’s Annual Seminar
and Exhibits, had the Wounded
Warriors executive director speak
at one of the Seminar and Exhibits
luncheons, and held fundraising
events. “I think it’s time to dig
down a little deeper and engage
our members who have employment opportunities. We need to
alert them to the availability of
wounded warriors as job candidates—and not only in the United
States. We’ve fought [the war on
terrorism] with a coalition of allies,
so there are wounded warriors in
many countries where we have
chapters and members as well.”
Getting back to work can be a
daunting challenge for wounded
service members. Warriors to
Work helps clients to find civilian
employment, and provides individual counseling, résumé building,
and other services. The Web site
www.woundedwarriorproject.org,
notes, “Many warriors find it difficult to explain the skills and experience acquired through military
service to a civilian employer. Employers frequently do not understand the qualifications veterans
J U LY /A U G U S T 2 0 1 1
offer, and it’s often a challenge to
effectively translate military skills
into civilian terms.”
The Warriors to Work Program
educates employers on the benefits
of hiring warriors and dispels
some of the common misconceptions. The Web site also provides
employers with a special login for
job posting and résumé searching.
The security industry is a perfect fit for some of the wounded
warriors, O’Hara believes. “As
many of our ASIS members are
from a military background, I see
great value in assisting the Warriors to Work Program to help find
viable employment for those in the
process of transitioning into the
civilian work force,” he wrote to
ASIS volunteer leaders.
ASIS has also delivered an e-mail
to participants of Warriors to Work
to urge them to visit the Society’s
Web site, www.asisonline.org, to
learn more about the security profession. The e-mail also explained
that “our organization has chapters
in nearly every state…. You can
reach out to these groups and take
advantage of the education and networking opportunities available.”
Webinar. Warriors to Work participants were also invited to virtually attend a free webinar by ASIS,
“From Here to There—Advancing
in the Security Field.” Held on June
1 with more than 200 participants,
the webinar was taught by Jeff
Hawkins of the American Military
University and focused on how to
succeed in the security field.
Seminar. Warriors to Work participants have been invited to Law
Enforcement and Military Appreciation Day at the Seminar and
Exhibits in Orlando in September.
O’Hara says the hope is that attending wounded warriors will
become “more engaged and more
understanding of what it is that
we do and see if they have an interest in the security management
field.”
ASIS is also establishing a
closer relationship with the board
of directors of Wounded Warriors.
“We’ve had some meetings already
and we will continue to do that,”
O’Hara says.
“I think our chapters and
members can really get behind
this and do something for the
good of all countries,” he states. ◆

Standards and Guidelines
Private Security
Service Standard
in Development
A
SIS INTERNATIONAL has conducted the first Technical
Committee meeting for the development of an American
National Standard to support the International Code of
Conduct for Private Security Service Providers (ICoC). The
ANSI/ASIS.PSC 1: Management System for Quality of Private
Security Company Operations—Requirements with Guidance
Standard will provide a mechanism for private security companies and their clients to show demonstrable commitment, conformance, and accountability to the principles outlined in the ICoC.
COMPOSED OF more than 200
members from 24 countries, the
Technical Committee includes a
balance of clients, service provid-
ers, government and nongovernmental, and rights groups from the
public and private sectors.
“This remarkable international
effort demonstrates the importance
of this industry sector around the
globe. It brings together disparate
interested parties to assure quality
of services provided by private security companies while maintaining the safety and security of their
operations within a framework
that ensures respect for human
rights and fundamental freedoms,”
says Dr. Marc Siegel, commissioner
of the ASIS International Global
Standards Initiative and chair of
the Technical Committee.
Private security companies and
other private security service providers have become critical elements for supporting peace and
stability efforts in regions where
the capacity of societal institutions
has become overwhelmed by manmade and natural disruptive events.
Private security companies operating in areas of weakened governance need to provide essential

status of each standard or guideline.
STANDARDS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Auditing Management Systems for
Security, Preparedness, and Continuity
Management with Guidance for Application: This standard refers to the systematic,
objective activities undertaken to evaluate or
audit management system performance for
security, preparedness, and continuity management.
Community Resilience: Guidance on
Capacity Building and Public-Private
Partnerships Standard: Provides guidance to
address the interfaces between individual, organizational, and community resilience to enhance public-private partnerships and resilience
planning. Using the PDCA model, it addresses
risk and capacity identification, assessment,
control, and sharing to better prevent, prepare
for, respond to, and recover from disruptions to
help communities and public-private partnering. This standard builds on the ASIS SPC.12009, Organizational Resilience Standard.
18
Conformity Assessment and Auditing Management Systems for Quality of
Private Security Company Operations:
This standard provides requirements and guidance for conducting conformity assessment of
the management system for quality of the Private Security Company Operations (PSC) Standard. This standard sets out requirements for
bodies providing auditing and third-party certification of private security company operations
(private security providers working for any
client). It gives requirements and guidance on
the management of audit programs, the conduct of internal or external audits of the management system and PSC operations, and the
competence and evaluation of auditors.
Organizational Resilience Maturity
Model: Phased Implementation: This
standard describes a phased implementation
of the Organizational Resilience Standard as a
series of steps designed to help organizations
evaluate where they stand with regard to resilience management and preparedness, to set
goals, to benchmark where they are relative
to those goals, and to plot a business-sensible
path to get there.
Physical Asset Protection: This standard identifies, applies, and manages physical
security measures to safeguard an organiza-
tion’s facilities-based assets.
Resilience in the Supply Chain: This
standard expands on the scope of the ASIS
Organizational Resilience Standard to include
resilience in the supply chain by providing a
framework for evaluating the internal and external context of the organization with regard
to its supply chain.
Risk Assessment: This standard provides a basis for a generic process for risk assessment, enabling objective analysis of the
efficacy of risk management controls that
protect an organization’s assets.
Workplace Violence Prevention and
Intervention: This standard provides an
overview of general security policies, processes, and protocols that organizations can
adopt to help prevent threatening behavior
and violence affecting the workplace so that
better responses to security incidents involving threats and episodes of actual violence
can occur.

The ASIS PSC.1 Standard will
provide the principles and requirements for a management system
for private sector security organizations to abide by and demonstrate accountability to internationally recognized norms of civil and
human rights while providing
quality assurance in the provision
of their products and services. It
will provide auditable requirements

Chief Security Officer (CSO) Organizational Standard (2008): This standard is
a model for developing a leadership function
and a comprehensive, integrated security risk
strategy to contribute to the viability and success of the organization.
Organizational Resilience: Security
Preparedness and Continuity Management Systems—Requirements with
Guidance for Use (2009): This standard is
based on the ISO PDCA model. The model
provides steps to prevent, prepare for, and
respond to a disruptive incident; to manage
and survive the event; and to take actions to
ensure the organization’s resilience.
PUBLISHED ASIS GUIDELINES
Business Continuity (2005): This
guideline outlines a series of interrelated
processes and activities that assist in creating,
assessing, and sustaining a comprehensive
plan for use during a crisis that threatens the
viability and continuity of an organization.
Chief Security Officer (2008): This
guideline addresses key responsibilities and
accountabilities, skills and competencies, and
qualifications for an organization’s senior security executive.

model for third-party certification. By following the proven ISO
model for management system
standards, private security companies can integrate this standard
with their current management
system approaches and focus efforts to better manage their risk.
“The standard will raise the bar
for industry best practices consistent with the goal of simultaneously
promoting stability and respect for
human and civil rights,” says Sie gel. “The standard will provide
clear benchmarks for assuring accountability and improvement of
performance and will serve as a
differentiator for companies that
provide quality services and products. A growing use of contract
services by governments and companies around the globe needs an
international initiative like this to
set the standards of quality and
ethical services.” ◆
appropriate physical security measures and
includes defining risk levels, implementing an
integrated set of physical security measures,
and devising policies and procedures related
to security incidents, access control, monitoring systems, lighting, security personnel, audits, and inspections.
General Security Risk Assessment
(2003): This guideline presents a process by
which security risks at a specific location can
be identified and communicated, along with
appropriate solutions.
Information Asset Protection
(2007): A guideline to offer general protection advice for information assets.
Preemployment Background
Screening (2009): This revised guideline
aids employers in understanding and implementing the fundamental concepts, methodologies, and issues associated with the preemployment screening of job applicants.
Private Security Officer Selection
and Training (2010): This revised guideline
sets forth minimum criteria for the selection
and training of private security officers.
Threat Advisory System Response
(2008): This guideline provides private businesses and industry with possible actions
based on the alert levels of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

ASIS Women in
Security Spotlight
R
EBEKAH WELLS, CPP, is the manager-in-charge for
the Santa Monica and Long Beach branches of Guardsmark in California, where she started her career in 1988
as a branch secretary. Wells obtained her Certified
Protection Professional® (CPP) certification in November 2001
and served for two years as a regional vice president (RVP) for
ASIS International’s Region 3. She has also held leadership positions with Greater Los Angeles Chapter including sergeant at
arms, treasurer, secretary, vice chair, and chair. Rebekah is currently serving her second year as a member of the ASIS Awards
Committee and as the senior RVP for Regions 2 and 3.
Q: Can you describe a day in your professional life?
A: No two days are ever the same.
I manage two offices in the Los
Angeles basin. The smaller office
has 150 employees and the larger
office has 200 employees. I oversee
a group of managers and the overall service delivery to our clients.
Many times my calendar is not set
until that day. The security industry works around the clock and
my work is often impacted by the
latest threat or security breach.
Flexibility and multitasking define
every day.
Q: What do you believe has made you
excel in your position?
A: Success is in the details, especially in the security field. I am
very detail-oriented and I take the
time to notice and correct even the
tiniest error. I think this is especially important in the fast-paced,
abbreviated world we live in.
I work in the people business,
and I know that people will always make mistakes. I see these as
opportunities to improve. This has
helped me to develop my problem-solving skills as well as my
management and leadership skills.
Each mistake is an opportunity to
do better.
I also strongly believe in maintaining a professional image. I think
20
how people see you really impacts
how and if they accept your message. The world has become very
business casual, which has its place,
but it is often not the best way to
be perceived. If you are meeting
with clients or executives, you
should have a crisp, sharp image
and look like a professional. I believe it enhances your credibility.
Q: Which of your strengths have proven
most beneficial to you?
A: I think it’s my sincerity and my
passion. I truly care about what I
do and the excellence of my work
product. My passion for my job
shows—so much so that I can put
a positive spin on any negative
work situation.
Q: What is the best advice you have ever
received?
A: It was to acknowledge a mistake and not be defensive. Early
in my career, if a client voiced a
concern or complaint to me about
one of my staff, the first thing I
would say is “no, they would
never do that.” I was very defensive and protective of my people.
Eventually, a client called my boss
and complained. I learned that it
is important to listen to the client
or stakeholder, acknowledge that a
mistake might have been made,
investigate the situation, and then

respond. I now teach this skill to
all of my managers.
Q: What do you know now that you
wish you had known at the start of your
security career?
A: The importance of networking—I tend to forget that I don’t
know it all or have all the answers.
There is great value in tapping
into the resources around you.
Also, I wish I had learned earlier of the importance of ASIS—I
know that sounds corny and predictable, but it is true. There is so
much value in membership, and I
never realized it until I got involved at the leadership level.
When I first started with Guardsmark, I attended an ASIS luncheon. It wasn’t until [much later
when] a client asked if I was interested in getting involved at the
committee level that I actually became active. At first, I found the
prospect of attending these meetings intimidating. But, as I became
more involved and learned the
value of ASIS, I found it was easier to find common ground with
others in the industry.
At the regional leadership level,
my mission is to make each chapter aware of what opportunities
exist in ASIS that they may not
have thought of—in particular, the
value of the support and participaASIS DY NAMICS
tion in the ASIS Foundation, Inc.,
and its programs.
Q: What guidance would you like to impart to the next generation of security
leaders?
A: This is a great industry with
so much potential, but it requires
commitment. Security does not
happen Monday through Friday
from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is
24/7.
Also, don’t lose your ability to
connect with people one on one.
Stop texting and pick up the
phone. The human element is so
important in our industry. Electronic communication does not
convey the tone of a voice. Whenever possible, meet people in person. You can see their body language, and they can see yours. In
security, so much of our information comes from between the lines
and in nuances. When communication becomes all electronic, I
think it loses its effectiveness to be
understood.
Q: What has been your biggest obstacle
and how did you overcome it?
A: My biggest obstacle has been
to be taken seriously. I don’t have
a background in law enforcement
or the military, and I work in a
male-dominated industry. I worked
my way up from the bottom with
my current employer and have
learned as I have moved up. I
overcame it by doing two things:
First, I persevered. I never gave
up, and I never apologized for the
perceived weaknesses in my background. Second, I earned my CPP
designation. I attended a local 12week review class and then spent
a few weeks studying with a business associate, and I passed on the
first attempt. This alone has given
me so much credibility.
Q: What is your best tip for a positive
work/life balance?
A: I saw a cartoon once that depicted two people having a conversation about work/life balance,
and one person asked the other
how many children they had. The
J U LY /A U G U S T 2 0 1 1
response was “three-ish.” That
was me. I spent my early years
completely out of balance because
I felt I had to work twice as hard
to get half the recognition. But it
paid off. Now, I make sure I start
and end every day putting my
needs first.
In the past, I gave out my cell
phone number and was available
day and night to everyone. I
would check my e-mail constantly.
Now, I screen all my calls after
hours and only check e-mail at the
office. I let my clients know that if
I do not answer my phone, they
can call our emergency call center,
which knows how to reach me on
my home line. I used to think it
was a sign of weakness to set
boundaries in your personal life
but now I realize it is essential to
your sanity and necessary for good
mental and physical health to separate your personal and professional
lives. ◆
