Anniversary Seminar and Exhibits
Brings Crowds to Atlanta
A
TLANTA, GEORGIA, was the per-
fect backdrop for the ASIS International 60th Annual Seminar
and Exhibits. From September
29 to October 2, the southern city was
brimming with nearly 20,000 security
practitioners, CSOs, security technology
and service providers, state and federal
law enforcement personnel, students, and
interested others who converged on the
Georgia World Congress Center by day,
and enjoyed the city’s ambience by night.
Seminar and Exhibits attendees heard
keynote addresses from former Utah
Governor and U.S. Ambassador to Singa-
pore and China Jon Hunstman, Jr., and
former U.S. Secretary of State General
Colin Powell (U.S. Army-ret.), and a
closing luncheon address by U.S. Navy
Seal Rear Admiral Scott Moore (ret.).
There were special sessions on information security threat modeling, fighting
corruption, and the economic rise of
China, as well as educational sessions by
both ASIS and (ISC)2, which collocated
its Annual Security Congress with the
Seminar and Exhibits.
Expanded coverage of the Seminar and
Exhibits can be found in this issue’s special supplement. ◆

his compact book is a primer
on security management and
explains how to develop a
risk-based security program that
encompasses training, intelligence,
investigations, auditing, and more
to protect infrastructure, personnel,
and information.
Author William MacCullum, a
leading security practitioner in Australia, provides broad-based information while introducing the reader
to the structure of security systems
and the creation of a supporting security manifesto. The key issues are
methodically explained so that
even a layperson can gather a
structural view of the control and
management of a security system.
The author clearly delineates what
is meant by terms such as “system,” “system security,” and
“security system.” Readers who
are not well-versed in security
principles and practices should
find it easily understandable.
The 16 chapters of the book
cover a wide spectrum of topics, commencing with the broad
security management structure,
policies, and standards, then moving on to the implementation of
policy and standards in an operational environment. Detailed treatment is meted out to security architecture and its implementation, the
importance of security reviews and
audits, and investigations. A chapter on forensics highlights the need
for specific forensic security procedures that apply to crimes dealing
with arson, drugs, and firearms, as
well as investigative techniques.
Another chapter is devoted to security education and training and includes a discussion of outsourcing.

The authors carefully craft
chapters that explain that aviation
security measures were enacted in
response to events ranging from
hijackings to Cuba to the tragedies
of Air India Flight 182 and Pan
Am Flight 103.
This book shows that terrorism
is not the only threat faced by
those responsible for safe carriage
of passengers and property. An
example of this can be found in a
table that lists 17 crimes that have
been experienced at airports, ranging from vandalism to human trafficking. This diverse list of potential environments strikes home as
the book’s review period coincides
with the ongoing search for Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, believed
lost over the Pacific Ocean for uncertain and as yet unexplained
reasons.
As the reader delves into this
book, the depth of research and
application delivered by the authors
is evident. By combining known
facts, detailing legislative directions,
and including pertinent case studies, a clear case for appropriate mitigation is outlined. This information
will aid those responsible for aviation security environments—not just
those tasked with writing the plan,
but any person who is actively involved in this complex, choreographed behavior, and will explain
why they must do what they do.
The modern-day security processes for the aviation industry are
encapsulated here in 12 chapters
that define objectives, carefully outline standards development, and
provide detailed insight into matters
ranging from the development of international aviation security practices
to passenger and baggage screening
and the physical layers of security
needed around aviation-based facilities. Mitigation for all areas has
been included both in practical
form and within regulatory guidance, and the book concludes with
a discussion of threat matrixes as
well as effective security operations.
While some of the information
may appear to be focused on the
United States in application, it
should be remembered that, with
few exceptions, the bulk of recent
activity against aviation has been
directed at the United States and its
citizens. This book should be required reading for all those involved
in the protection of airports, airlines,
aircraft, and—above all—passengers.

He explained that are three levels
of computer attacks: by hackers,
spammers, and state-sponsored
cyberattacks. Hackers cause the
lowest level of digital intrusion,
and they normally do not have a
financial motive behind their attacks, which makes them hard to
prosecute. Spammers and phishers,
who use malware to obtain and
sell information such as credit card
data, make up 90 percent of what
the DOJ prosecutes, Grimberg said.
The most sophisticated attacks
come from state-sponsored hackers,
who are becoming more daring.
These criminals have both the
skills necessary to wreak havoc
and the funding and support of
nation-states to breach private sector systems for intelligence and
trade secrets.
Grimberg also discussed the
DOJ’s outreach efforts to security
companies and expressed that open
communication between the private
sector and the government could
lead to more prosecution and stop

“The key is this information
sharing,” Grimberg said. “I cannot
emphasize enough that no intrusion is too small to report. What
we are seeing, particularly with
state-sponsored attacks, is the use
of domestic cyber networks as
popcorns for criminal activity in
other sectors.”
Ridge moderated a lively question-and-answer session between
Grimberg and the attendees, who
had many questions about what
kind of information-sharing programs the government offers. Multiple CSOs agreed that alerting the
DOJ about their companies’ cyber
breaches is important, but said the
information sharing should go
both ways. Grimberg explained
that the DOJ cannot discuss active
investigations, which makes it hard
to share information about potential threats.
A power-packed panel of experts
moderated by Ridge took the stage

Powell. After giving the Wednesday morning keynote speech,
Former Secretary of State General
Colin Powell (U.S. Army-ret.)
joined members of the CSO
Roundtable for a question-and-answer session in which he discussed
how the United States should approach ISIS, cyberattacks, the importance of strong diplomatic relations, and more. Powell reflected
on his time as the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff under George
H. W. Bush and then as secretary
of state under George W. Bush,
and how wartime decisions 10
years ago play into today’s dynamics with ISIS.
Powell noted that the biggest
mistake made in the 2003 invasion
of Iraq was not understanding the
consequences of taking over Baghdad. “When we got to Baghdad,
the war wasn’t over, the conflict
was just beginning,” he explained.
“We didn’t understand that the
Iraqi people assumed that we were

going to take over and bring them
security.” Powell also stated that
disbanding the Iraqi army was a
mistake, as the well-trained group
turned against the United States
and became insurgents.
Today, the remade Iraqi government and army has failed to stop
ISIS members, in part because of
the choices of their predecessors,
Powell explained. “The main attack
should be to deal with the government in Iraq, and you need the
Iraqi army to do that. You should
not put American soldiers back on
the ground to fight a war that belongs to the Iraqi army. The Iraqi
army will fight, and I don’t think
we should substitute for them.”
Powell also discussed the surge
in cyberattacks by other world
powers, specifically China. “I don’t
think it’s that big of a security
risk—all you need to do is read
our newspapers or trade magazines
and you’ll know what we’re doing—but the real challenge is to
our economic wellbeing. What
they’re really trying to do is penetrate us economically and financially,” he explained.
Powell illustrated the importance
of diplomatic relations by telling
stories of forging relationships with
global envoys. Whether it was a
cooperating with a Chinese ambassador upset about an accidental
plane collision or bargaining with a
Russian authority about how many
spies were allowed in the United
States, Powell said that a human
touch and open communication
made all the difference.
“You have to have understanding
with other countries and never get
mad at them,” he explained. “That
was my approach to these kinds of
issues…You have to build these
kind of relationships in diplomacy,
but what I’m saying is applicable to
any business that’s represented
here. You’ve got to build trust between people. Have adversaries
when you must, but try not to
have enemies, and try not to have
an adversary become an enemy.” ◆

ASIS Women in
Security Spotlight
H
WEE-FONG YONG is a crisis manager for the Singapore Marina
Bay Sands, which will serve as the venue for the ASIS International 2014 Asia-Pacific Conference and Exhibition in December.
She has worked for more than a decade with organizations,
statutory boards, and private companies, having begun her career as a contract administrator with a large cost-consultancy firm in Asia. This gave
her experience in managing contracts and applying Singapore contract law.
Yong then joined the local public emergency services, the Singapore Civil
Defence Force, where she acquired skills in command and control. Later,
Hwee-Fong Yong
she became the first female fire investigator in Singapore. Yong honed her
project management skills while working for the local government before moving into business continuity and crisis management with a statutory board and now with the Marina Bay Sands.
Q: Can you describe a typical day in
your current role?
A: I do horizon scanning of the
hazard risks that can impact the
company’s operations. I will scan
through government and public
websites to assess the environmental and health-related risks that
could possibly affect our operations. That said, information from
peers in the industry and consultants is also sought.
Q: What has led to your success in your
current position?
A: By building up the capability
and knowledge via various avenues. This is done by learning from
my seniors and peers in the industry and attending professional
courses and workshops to increase
my experience. I also scan white
papers written by subject-matter
experts to enhance my understanding and practices.
Q: What are you doing to keep up with
the emerging security issues that companies are confronting these days?
A: I am constantly keeping tabs
on the trends through open and
subscribed sources such as e-mails
from ASIS International Singapore
Chapter, the ASIS social group at
LinkedIn, and other Asia-Pacific
security forums.
14
Q: When you joined the industry, did
you have to overcome any obstacles, misperceptions, or stereotypes?
A: Yes. Being the minority gender in
the industry, it is not easy to prove
that you are worthy among your
male peers. After I joined the company, it took almost one year to convince my peers through the work I
delivered and my social skills.
Q: Is there anything you know now that
you wish you had known at the start of
your security career?
A: Yes, the security field is not
limited to just physical security. It
ranges from information security,
cybersecurity, and investigations, as
well. There are so many fields in
security that you are pampered
with choices relating to what you
wish to specialize in.
Q: Do you have any advice on how to
work effectively with senior executives and
other stakeholders outside of security?
A: Try to be seen as a facilitator
who adds value to their work. It is
important to show other stakeholders that you have their priority as
your top priority so that they are
convinced that your involvement
ensures their success.
Q: What is the best advice you’ve ever
received?
A: Change is a constant. It is important to constantly keep yourself
on top of what has changed and
manage that change accordingly. Being oblivious to change will put you
in an obsolete position very quickly.
Q: How do you and your employer benefit from your involvement with ASIS?
A: I get to know more of what my
peers in the industry are doing and
how they approach the same matters differently. It is from learning
through others’ experiences that
you can exponentially accelerate
your learning and prepare yourself
to take on more responsibility.
Q: What do you think the next generation of security leaders will wrestle with?
A: Security personnel must not be
satisfied just doing well in security
areas, but must expand their skill
sets into health and safety. The
trend is for the security professional
to wear more than just one hat.
Q: What activities or interests do you pursue outside of work and how are these important to maintaining your equilibrium?
A: Spending time with my daughter is what I do outside of my
work. This helps me keep my
work and life balanced, though
many are now saying work and
life should be integrated. ◆

PCB from 2005 to 2008 and has
contributed to the Protection of Assets
Manual and the Professional Investigator’s Manual, Spanish Edition. A member of the Panama Chapter, Owens
was chapter chair from 2002 to 2003.
As he moves onto the ASIS
Board, Owens sees his role as
strategic—understanding the challenges facing ASIS and turning
them into opportunities. He will
focus on exploring the diverse nature of the membership and helping
ASIS embrace world cultures. His
goals are to promote international
growth as well as ASIS educational
opportunities and certifications,
with an emphasis on making these
core programs more accessible.
Petruzzi. John Petruzzi, Jr., CPP,
has been an ASIS member for 14
years. He was president of the
ASIS Foundation from 2012 to 2013
and had been a member of the
Foundation Board of Trustees since
2009. He previously served in leadership positions with several ASIS
councils. He is a member of the
New York City Chapter.
Petruzzi believes that the role of
a board member is to ensure that
the organization’s core mission and
values are adhered to, and that its
goals are implemented consistently.
In setting his agenda as a new
ASIS Board member, Petruzzi
aligned his views with the current
ASIS Strategic Plan. He is particularly interested in its first goal: Fulfill
the needs of the members and the
profession. He has been involved
professionally in enterprise security
risk management (ESRM) and believes that ESRM is the wave of the
future for the security profession.
He also is keen to see board
members advocate for ASIS and
the profession to key audiences:
the business community, the media,
government entities, and the public.
Finally, Petruzzi believes his years in
ASIS have made him a better leader
and security professional, and he
will work to see that these same
opportunities are offered to the
next generation of ASIS volunteers.
The newly elected Board will assume their positions on January 1. ◆

Food, Friends, and
Reflections at
Foundation Night
O
n Wednesday night at the
ASIS International 60th
Annual Seminar and Exhibits, a capacity crowd of 300
gathered at Atlanta’s Der Biergarten
to celebrate ASIS Foundation Night.
Those who attended the event
were treated to an ample supply of
traditional southern food, plus beer
and wine from around the world.
The atmosphere was abuzz with
conversations among friends, new
and old, at indoor tables and the
outdoor patio.
David Rickerson, CPP, PSP, senior design engineer with TEECOM,
Oakland, California, was attending
the Seminar and Exhibits for the
sixth time. While Wednesday
morning’s talk by Colin Powell was
a personal favorite, he spent most
of his time touring the exhibit floor.
But he believed the most important
aspect of the week’s activities was
the chance to network. While in
the Certification Lounge, for example, he met fellow members from
Austria, Trinidad and Tobago, and
Singapore—all relationships he
hopes to foster in the future.
Attending his 35th Seminar and
Exhibits, Jean-Pierre Payat traveled
from Madrid, Spain, to renew acquaintances with international
colleagues. This year, he particularly noticed a shift in
technology to IT and cloud
security and encouraged manufacturers to bring their innovation to the European market. Based on his years in the
profession, he also believes
that those with experience
“owe something to the young
talent” by helping to develop
the next generation of leaders,
both of ASIS and the security
profession.
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014
Also enjoying the buffet was
Mark Eklund, chair of the ASIS
Long Island Chapter and president
of OffSight Vision, an exhibitor.
How was the traffic at his booth?
“Fantastic,” he replied, noting that
he had acquired 150 business cards
in the first day from attendees interested in his company’s systems
and emergency evacuation services.
Rick Nieves, representing another exhibitor, Micro Key Solutions, Orlando, Florida, which specializes in software for solutions
for the security alarm industry,
was attending his first Seminar and
Exhibits. Commenting on the swift
business at his company’s booth,
Nieves mentioned meeting clients
and prospects from throughout
North America as well as the international security community.
As the night drew to a close,
Dr. Linda Florence, CPP, president
of the ASIS Foundation Board of
Trustees, recognized the evening’s
generous sponsors: 3xLOGIC and
Nationwide. She was joined at the
podium by ASIS President Richard
E. Widup, Jr., CPP, who drew the
ticket to select the evening’s grand

was Barry Eccleton, director of

of British Columbia. He walked

ASISPAC
8th Annual ASISPAC Dinner in Atlanta
A
SIS International’s most politically active members
gathered at Ruth’s Chris
Steak House in support of the
ASIS Political Action Committee
(ASISPAC) at the 8th Annual ASISPAC Dinner on Sunday evening.
The attendees enjoyed an intimate
dinner at the restaurant, which is
located next to Centennial Olympic
Park.
Currently, ASISPAC has $28,000
at its disposal and will make targeted contributions to members of
the U.S. Congress who have been
responsive to ASIS’s needs and issues, said Jack Lichtenstein, ASIS
vice president of government affairs and public policy. “The key,
of course, is to make the selection
of those candidates very carefully,”
he added, explaining that ASISPAC will support the “most strong
and reliable supporters of security—
people who are well placed in
both the Homeland Security and
the Judiciary committees.”
ASISPAC was created in 2005
and held its first dinner in 2007.
Since its inception, it has raised
nearly $50,000 and makes $1,000
targeted contributions to incum-
bent members of Congress during
election years. The PAC receives
donations throughout the year and
makes contributions to members
throughout the election cycle.
One unique feature of ASISPAC
is that it is nonpartisan and supports both Democrats and Republicans. Candidates are chosen for
support based on three criteria:
voting record and experience,
competitiveness, and need. To be
chosen by the PAC, Congress
members must prove that they
have a strong commitment to security issues through their voting
record and relevant legislation,
prove their competitiveness within
their home district, and demonstrate the need for additional
funds to ensure reelection.
As Republicans are the majority
party in the House of Representatives and likely to maintain their
leadership, the PAC will skew
more heavily Republican in its
donations to candidates that make
up that body. However, it will
work to include some Democrats
and will carefully analyze candidates to receive contributions in
the U.S. Senate, Lichtenstein said.
Marene Allison, right, greets volunteer leaders during the ASISPAC Dinner.
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014
“We don’t plan to spend
$28,000, but with even $14,000 to
$16,000 we can do a lot; we can
give some $2,000 contributions and
some $1,000 contributions, which
will be a nice sign that we appreciate the work and interest shown
to us by those key members of the
Congress,” he explained.
One regular attendee of the
ASISPAC dinner is Marene Allison, worldwide vice president of
information security for Johnson
& Johnson, who has supported
the PAC since it was created in
2005 and been involved in Lichtenstein’s efforts to educate Congress about ASIS.
“The way we really influence
what we do and how we do it is
making sure our national leaders
understand what we do and how
important it is in defense of our
nation,” Allison said. Besides making contributions to the PAC, Allison has also met with members of
Congress, including former Senator
Ted Kennedy, and even helped to
keep a bill that would have prevented the use of CCTV and access control to monitor employees
from being enacted.
After she helped stop the bill
from being enacted, Allison said
she realized how important her
efforts had been. “When Jack
wanted to start a lobbying effort…
I went with him and wore out
numerous pairs of shoes walking
the halls of Congress,” she said.
For more information on ASISPAC and regular updates, ASIS
publishes the ASISPAC Quarterly
Newsletter for contributors. The
newsletter includes a report of
ASIS Government Affairs and Public Policy activity, along with relevant political news, recognition of
recent contributors, and contributions made to Congress members.
