By William MacCallum. Collaborative Publications; c-pubs.com.au; 73 pages; $27.27. 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. T 6 A glossary, a bibliography, and a list of professional organizations offer further information to the reader. Security professionals at the middle and top levels of management will benefit from reading this book.

Practical Aviation Security: Predicting and Preventing Further Threats, Second Edition. By Jeffrey C. Price and Jeffrey S. Forrest. Butterworth-Heinemann. Available from ASIS, item #2067; 500 pages; $80 (ASIS member), $88 (nonmember). uthors Jeffrey Price and Jeffrey Forrest begin the second edition of their well-regarded aviation security textbook with the reflection that: “9-11 will go down in history as a day that changed the way we live.” They then ex- A pand on placing it in the context of the 83-year history of threats and actions aimed at aviation. 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. Reviewer: Paul Stanley, CPP, is a senior security advisor for BC Hydro, located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He serves on the ASIS International Utilities Security Council. ◆ ASIS DY NAMICS In Brief ASIS/ASW Global Security Forum S tate Secretary at the Federal Chancellery and Federal Government Commissioner for the Federal Intelligence Services Klaus-Dieter Fritsche will provide the keynote at the ASIS International/ASW Global Security Forum, which will take place on November 26 in Berlin.

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 cyberattacks before they happen. any substantive legislation to pass SOs and government reprein the current time frame, the imsentatives gathered Monday portance of passing an informationmorning at the ASIS Intersharing bill with liability protecnational 60th Annual Seminar and tions was paramount.

Beauchesne said that although it will be difficult for Former Governor of Pennsylvania Tom Ridge addresses CSOs at the Seminar and Exhibits in Atlanta. NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014 11 CSO Roundtable “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 to talk about challenges in the global environment to enterprise security, such as insider threats, access control, supply chain security, and integrated intelligence.

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 General Colin Powell NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014 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.” ◆ Take your career to the next level in 2015 Apply for an ASIS or ASIS Foundation educational scholarship or award.

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. ◆ ASIS DY NAMICS Certification Studying to Certify D led the aspiring designees through the topics of undercover investigations, due diligence, background investigations and preemployment screening, and investigative interview and interrogation. On Sunday, they reviewed evidence and testimony gathering. Also on Sunday, the students of all three review programs had the chance to take an assessment exam—the results of which were immediately known to them. The purpose of the exam was to highlight areas of the security body of knowledge that they needed to study more fully on their own once they returned home. Daniel P.

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. ◆ ASIS DY NAMICS Foundation 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 prize winner. The lucky recipient was Barry Eccleton, director of campus security at the University of British Columbia. He walked away with a Caribbean Cruise for two, including airfare, provided by Wyndham Jade, the official housing bureau for ASIS. Teeing off for the Foundation F riends, colleagues, and clients hit the green at the 18th Annual ASIS Foundation Golf Tournament on the Sunday before the ASIS International 60th Annual Seminar and Exhibits began. The venue was Stone Mountain Golf Club, a beautiful course on the outskirts of Atlanta that consistently receives a four-star rating from 19 Foundation Golf Digest. Just minutes from downtown, the golf club offers two distinct courses, the Stonemont Course and the Lakemont Course, and is set among breathtaking scenery. Participants teed off in an up-to-four-player scramble format, and competed on rolling greens among towering pines and stunning views of Stone Mountain. This year the Foundation offered transportation to and from the tournament, an option that turned out to be a great success. Making up the winning team was Kelly Dunn of Securitas, and Scott Schatzley and Joseph Weaver, CPP, both of AAA The Auto Club Group. In second place were Scott Straight and Tim Whall, Protection One, Inc.; Bob Dale; and Christopher J. Steinour, Jacobson Companies. Rounding out the top three teams in third place were Jim Hindy, Entre BTG/TIG; Chris Quayle, Video Insight; Jamie Bradford, LenSec; and Dan Nestor. Craig Colburn of FocusPoint International was the winner of the longest drive in the men’s division. There was not a competitor in the women’s division. Closest-to-thepin winners were Quayle in the men’s division and Christina Duffey, CPP, in the women’s. A contingent of current and former ASIS leadership teed up, including ASIS President-Elect Dave N. Tyson, CPP; Treasurer David C. Davis, CPP; as well as past presidents Eduard J. Emde, CPP, and Michael R. Cummings, CPP. Also trying their hand at the course were ASIS Board members Joseph H. McDonald, CPP, Deborah L. Allen, CPP, and Richard Lisko, CPP. Foundation Board of Trustees members at the tournament were Brian J. Allen, CPP; Godfried Hendriks, CPP; and Dr. Martin Gill. ASIS Foundation Board of Trustees President Dr. Linda F.

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.

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.
