W
ithin the last few
months, ASIS International
has conducted three major
educational events. The first was ASIS
Europe 2016, the 15th European Security
Conference and Exhibition, which took
place April 6 to 8 in London, England.
Hard on its heels was ASIS NYC 2016, the
ASIS 26th Annual New York City Confer-
ence and Expo, which took place April
27 and 28 at the Jacob K. Javits Center,
New York City, and was a coproduction
of ASIS and the ASIS New York City
Chapter. The third was the 9th Annual
CSO Summit on May 22 to 24, at the Sky-
walker Ranch at Big Rock, the workplace
of Star Wars
creator George
Lucas, nestled
in the rolling
hills of Marin County, California.
All three events drew security practi-
tioners from nations around the world to
hear a bevy of top-notch keynoters such
as author Mario Moussa of the execu-
tive education program at the Wharton
School of Business, who opened the CSO
Summit, and Aimen Dean, “the spy who
came in from al Qaeda,” who closed the
European conference. Attending security
professionals also had on offer a huge
number of educational sessions designed
to inform and assist them in their duties
at the businesses and institutions they
strive to protect.

Risk Analysis and Security Coun­
ter­measure Selection, Second Ed­
i­­tion. By Thomas L. Norman, CPP,
PSP. CRC Press; available from ASIS;
item #2262; 484 pages; $70 (ASIS
members); $77 (nonmembers).
T
his accessible book is a how-to
primer for students and security
practitioners who wish to con-
duct security, risk, and vulnerability
assessments. Author
Thomas Norman, CPP, PSP,
takes the reader step-by-
step through the process,
beginning with critical
thinking. He discusses the
skills and tools required
for the process and ends
with advice on estimating
probability, assessing
vulnerabilities, and pri-
oritizing risk. Charts and
illustrations throughout
the text contribute to the
reader’s understanding of
the material.
Norman goes into depth
regarding the selection of
appropriate countermea-
sures and how to deter-
mine the effectiveness of
each. Countermeasures
are divided logically into
high-tech, low-tech, and no-tech.
Security and cost-effective metrics
are used to help the reader determine
which countermeasures are appropri-
ate for a particular situation.
The final chapter explains how to
write effective reports. This chapter
walks the reader through developing
and organizing the report, working
with budgeting tools, preparing hand-
outs, using graphics, and conducting
a successful presentation. Questions
at the end of each chapter help readers
ascertain if they have grasped the ma-
terial presented.
This would be an excellent textbook
for use in an academic environment or
as a comprehensive assessment guide
for security professionals.

A
lthough this book
may appear intim-
idating to the aver-
age security professional
who is not familiar with the
complex biosecurity field,
the author has been care-
ful to present the subject
matter in a well-organized
manner consistent with
a college-level textbook. More impor-

countermeasures is consistent and
in alignment with knowledge princi-
ples familiar to the Certified Protection

The book sheds light on biological
research and laboratories and the
importance of safeguarding the lethal
pathogens and toxins that these lab
infrastructures produce as a matter
of business. These have the potential
for bioterrorism, as well as for natu-

Diamond Mine Security. By Shel-
don Cooke, PSP. Lulu; lulu.com; 226
pages, $13.38.
T
his uneven book provides some
good insights into security in a
mining environment, but these
are woven throughout the unrelated
personal accounts of mining camp life,
making it difficult for the reader to pick
out the buried gems. Numerous refer-
ences to camp conditions, weather, and
wildlife have no nexus to security, and,
while interesting, these items do not
provide value in that context. The ca-
sual nature of the writing, its formatting,
and grammatical errors detract from its
value. The few photographs that are pre-
sented are irrelevant to security topics.
The text attempts to examine vari-
ous aspects of security throughout the
mining life-cycle, from exploration to
closure. However, in the chapter “Con-
structing the Future,” little emphasis is
put on the various phases of the process
where most critical security planning
and design occurs—before construction
begins. The author uses the terms ex-
ploration and construction interchange-
ably, but these are distinct phases in
the overall process. Each brings its own
security nuances, which are broad-
brushed in other chapters.
While the book is titled Dia-
mond Mine Security, there is also
a chapter on “Gold Security.” The
references to gold mining lack clear
differentiation from the security
protocols mentioned elsewhere.
Another chapter, “Diamond Vaults
and Access Control,” deviates into
security for water and air supplies.
While critical, the topics seem mis-
placed—an overarching section on
vulnerability assessments could have
addressed these important issues more
thoroughly and appropriately.
In summary, the text is a mix of secu-
rity-specific practices and light-hearted
examples of what life is like at a remote
mining camp. A stated purpose or target
audience might have helped the author
focus his work more appropriately.
Readers looking for a definitive guide
on mining security topics should look
to professional industry publications;
however, those looking for an overview
of diamond mining with a smattering
of security concepts will find merit in
this book.

Kidnap: Face to Face with Death.
By Dr. Ona Ekhomu. School of Man-
agement and Security, Trans-World;
available from Amazon.com; 458
pages, $55.
T
his is an intriguing real-life story of
a kidnapping that occurred in Ni-
geria in October 2013, involving the
author and his wife, along with several
aides and friends. Told from the first-per-
son point of view, and complete with
insight into his thoughts and feelings
during the ordeal, Ekhomu attempts
to combine a thrilling true story with
a textbook on kidnapping. The result
is an inspirational and heartbreaking
story, recounted in a book plagued with
spelling and gram-
matical errors that
struggles to define
a target audience.
The story is of-
ten interrupted by
sidebar discussions
on what was done
right or wrong in
each particular
situation. Some of
these sidebars go
beyond security or response actions and
into political and regional difficulties
specific to the area where the incident
occurred. The book goes on to examine
the medical treatment rendered both in
Nigeria and the United States, again with
sidebars evaluating the right and wrong
actions of medical staff and medical sys-
tems. These seem out of place in a book
on kidnapping prevention and response.
Overall, the book is a fascinating read
on the human costs of the kidnapping
and ransom criminal business, espe-
cially as it exists in Nigeria at the writ-
ing of the book. The discussion on how
victims are chosen and the techniques
and tactics of the kidnappers is spell-
binding and informative. The first-per-
son perspective of someone who sur-
vived such an ordeal provides valuable
lessons for those seeking to study the
emotional impact on the victims of such
crimes and to evaluate their own pre-
paredness for such an incident.
Security practitioners may not gain
information they can use from this
work, and they may find the book lack-
ing substance as a textbook, but the nar-
rative is sure to engage most readers.

6. For more than four decades, as ASIS
International grew from 6,000 members and
$300,000 in revenue to 38,000 members and
more than $30 million in revenue, Susan Melni­
cove was there. She shone the spotlight on
members, speakers, educators, partners, and
colleagues, always careful not to cast her own
shadow over the proceedings. With Melnicove’s
retirement on April 29, the spotlight finally—
deservedly—focuses on her.
ASIS’s Susan
Melnicove
Retires After
42 Years
of Service
H
ER LIST of accomplish-
ments is dizzying: In the
mid- to late 1970s she helped
develop ASIS’s certification
program. More than 8,000 certificants
now hold the Certified Protection Pro-
fessional®
(CPP), Physical Security Pro-
fessional®
(PSP), or Professional Certi-
fied Investigator®
(PCI) designation. In
the early 1980s, she helped build the
collection that became the O. P. Norton
Information Resources Center. It now
houses more than 50,000 printed
books and documents and thousands
of recordings and digital materials.
Melnicove presided over the ASIS
Annual Seminar and Exhibits while it
grew from 100 booths and barely 400
attendees to a high of 2,700 booths and
24,000 attendees. She created educa-
tional programming to meet the evolv-
ing needs of practitioners, from terror-
ism prevention to social media risks,
and she pushed ASIS to expand glob-
ally, ultimately running regular confer-
ences in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the
Middle East. When ASIS acquired the
Protection of Assets Manual, she worked
with staff and volunteers to refresh and
update this key resource. She started a
book publishing department, and after
9-11, she launched ASIS’s standards
and guidelines program, which to date
has yielded 14 ANSI standards and
seven ASIS guidelines.
Melnicove downplays her role in these
accomplishments, preferring to credit
the membership. “Truly, the success of
ASIS is not about me but about the ded-
ication and efforts of the members,” she
says. And the numbers just represent the
surface of her service. “I am incredibly
fortunate to have spent the past 42 years
in my dream job…. It’s the quality of the
relationships and experiences that have
fueled my passion for my role, the Soci-
ety, the profession, and the industry.”
And Melnicove is quick to acknowl-
edge the role of her staff. “They are the
experts behind everything,” she says.
Melnicove’s impact is pervasive.
“I’ve known Susan for more than 10
years,” says 2016 ASIS President David
C. Davis, CPP, “and it never fails to as-
tound me how well she has served the
Society in so many ways. The member-
ship and profession owe her a tremen-
dous debt of gratitude.”
ASIS CEO Peter J. O’Neil also recog-
nizes Melnicove’s profound impact on
ASIS and on the practice of security.
“Professionalization, standards and
guidelines, educational developments,
certification—the works,” says O’Neil.
“If it advanced the profession in the
last four decades, there’s a good
chance Susan had a big part in it. She
will leave a lasting legacy.”
Melnicove began her ASIS career
shortly after graduating from the Uni-
versity of Maryland. Becoming ASIS’s
seventh staff member, she processed
membership applications on her first
day on the job. Since then, she has had
a hand in virtually everything, work-
ing her way up to head of meetings
and membership, then director and
ultimately vice president of ASIS’s Ed-
ucation Division. She held ASIS’s top
education position for 22 years. u

Banking and financial services.
This program will feature subject-mat-
ter experts who are security leaders
in the financial services industry.
They will present valuable and timely
information related to the issues con-
fronting bank security professionals
worldwide. Topics to be covered in the
program include active shooter and
branch robbery response and training,
financial security’s role in business
continuity planning, emerging threats
to security system technology, and
ATM physical attacks and beyond. A
wrap-up panel discussion will address
the changing landscape of electronic
and physical security. The program is
sponsored by the ASIS Banking and
Financial Services Council.
Healthcare security. Sponsored
by ASIS Healthcare Security and ASIS
Pharmaceutical Security councils,
“Best Practices for Securing Drugs
from Production to Delivery to the
End User,” will provide insight into
the challenges faced in securing both
prescription and nonprescription
drugs in the United States. With the
combined expertise of industry leaders
from two ASIS councils, attendees will
be presented with material that assists
them in reducing drug diversion and
theft.
Security consulting. Looking to
successfully launch a new security
consultancy practice or jump-start an
existing one? This unique, one-day
intensive program will be taught by a
faculty of seasoned consultants. They
will explain how to develop and mar-
ket a security consultancy and how
to avoid expensive mistakes that can
sabotage success. The program is filled
with practical information that saves
time, money, and frustration. This pre-
seminar session is sponsored by the
International Association of Profes-
sional Security Consultants.
Petrochemical security. “Like Oil
and Water, Physical and Cybersecurity
Don’t Mix. But Can They?” is the title
of this preseminar session sponsored
by the ASIS Petrochemical, Chemical,
and Extractive Industries Security
Council. According to a recent U.S.
Department of Homeland Security
report, the petrochemical industry has
faced the highest number of complex
attacks to its cyber, physical, and oper-
ational systems. Attackers do not em-
ploy just one attack vector, however.
They rely on the fact that organizations
are conditioned to respond to attacks

8. InBrief
in silos of IT security, corporate (phys­
ical) security, and plant operations in
fragmented measures that leave the
enterprise fundamentally exposed.
Attendees will learn a holistic security
approach to safeguard the petrochem­
ical industry; explore how new appli­
cations using techniques such as big
data, machine learning, and predictive
risk analytics can correlate cybersecu­
rity with physical access; track insider
activity; and aggregate cybersecurity
information from security automation
tools.
Physical security. Sponsored by
the ASIS Physical Security Council,
“The Security Practitioner of the Future:
Challenges and Opportunities” will
explore changing business needs and
threat environments. Companies and
organizations continue to encounter
increasingly diverse and sophisticated
risks from an equally broad range of
adversaries. These adversaries are
equipped as never before with educa­
tion, experience, publically available
critical information, and technology
to bring their efforts to fruition. Tomor­
row’s security practitioner needs an
array of integrated tools to effectively
prepare for and counter tomorrow’s
adversary. These include some tradi­
tional tried and proven practices;
how­ever, practitioners also must learn
new ways to think critically, make risk-
based decisions, implement leading
practice solutions, and define security
optimization.
School security. By walking
through an emergency from beginning
to end, the attendees of “Evolution of
a School Crisis” will learn what pre-
incident indicators look like and how
to communicate with authorities. The
students of this preseminar session,
sponsored by the ASIS School Safety
and Security Council, will explore
examples of soft-target hardening by
entering into a classroom and explor­
ing what an active shooter event looks
like from the inside. They will review
emergency procedures, gain insight
into incident command operations,
and discuss the proper use of applica­
ble technologies.
Workplace violence. The title of
this session is “Soft Targets, Active
Shooters, Workplace Violence: CPTED
Solutions.” News stories report almost
daily on violent incidents in schools,
shipyards, workplaces, or sports events.
And this is only a small part of the
problem. Incidents may range from

This new edi­
tion of Crime Prevention for Houses of
Worship examines the various types of
crime frequently occurring in houses
of worship and provides recommenda­
tions on how to prevent and respond
to them. In 2001, Ratliff coauthored,
with Chester L. Quarles, Ph.D., the first
edition—one of the first books pub­
lished on this topic.
The book’s intended audience in­
cludes church leaders and staff, law
enforcement officers, security guards,
facility managers, instructors, and
trainers in worship centers. It is also
intended as a text to structure train­
ing workshops on securing houses of
worship.

STANDARDS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Community Resilience: 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 com-
munities and public-private partnering.
Private Security Officer (PSO) Selection and Training:
This standard provides generic management requirements for PSO
selection and training processes as well as guidance for good prac-
tices related to the selection, training, and use of private security
officers.
Security and Resilience in Organizations and their Sup-
ply Chains: A revision and consolidation of the existing Organiza-
tional Resilience and Business Continuity Management standards,
this new standard will provide steps necessary to: prevent, prepare
for, and respond to an undesirable or disruptive incident; manage
and survive the event; and take actions to ensure an organization
and its supply chain’s resilience.
Security Awareness: This standard will integrate physical,
cyber, and information security into day-to-day business and risk
management practices. Adversaries neither think nor act in silos
when they perform malicious activities. Given the convergence
of risks and fading boundaries between physical, cyber, and
information security, it is essential that organizations of all types
and sizes have the best tools at their disposal to promote secu-
rity awareness from a holistic perspective. (Joint ASIS, (ISC)2
, &
ISACA standard).

ASIS NYC 2016
FBigger and BetterF
The ASIS International 26th Annual New York City Con-
ference and Expo (ASIS NYC 2016) took place April 27 and 28 at the
Jacob K. Javits Center. With more than 4,800 registered attendees,
this year’s conference saw 41 percent more participants than last
year. The show, which is hosted by ASIS and the ASIS New York City
Chapter, provided opportunities for security practitioners and law
enforcement personnel from 33 states and 22 countries to attend a
wide variety of educational sessions and check out the latest prod-
ucts on the show floor.
B Y L I L LY C H A PA
Craig Schwab, CPP, the chair of the
ASIS New York City Chapter, discussed
the importance of attendance growth.
“The education lineup featured stand-
ing-room-only sessions on antiterror-
ism and risk management, as well as
sessions on the lessons learned from
high-profile security incidents, includ-
ing the November 2015 Paris attacks,”
he noted. “In addition, attendees got
hands-on access to an expo floor full of
leading-edge product and service solu-
tions. The 41 percent growth reflects
the confidence attendees have in ASIS
NYC and the educational offerings. We
are pleased that it has grown into a
must-attend event for public and pri-
vate sector security professionals across
the northeast region and beyond.”
Insider’s view. The event kicked off
with a riveting keynote by retired Lieu-
tenant Colonel Robert J. Darling, author
of 24 Hours Inside the President’s Bunker.
Darling was working in the military
office at the White House on 9-11 when
news broke about the New York World
Trade Center attacks. He was recruited
to be the key liaison among the vice
president, national security advisors,
and the Pentagon.
Robert J. Darling delivers the keynote.

14. ASIS DYNAMICS14
Darling discussed
in detail the compli-
cated coordination
involved in taking
President Bush somewhere safe during
the evacuation of the White House.
The last time the White House was
evacuated was February 14, 1814,
when the British were burning down
Washington, D.C., he noted.
“The White House is literally a for-
tress. There’s security on top of security.
Security you see, security you don’t see.
When I got to the top of the stairs car-
rying my planning kit, the gates to the
south were wide open, the gates to the
north were wide open, and everyone
seemed to have an automatic weapon.
The Secret Service agents were yelling
to the professional staffers, ‘Ladies,
take off your heels and run! There’s
another plane heading here.’”
Darling was evacuated to the Presi­
dent’s emergency operations center, an
underground bunker across the street
from the White House. Once there,
he was assigned to field phone calls,
working alongside Vice President Dick
Cheney and a number of other officials.
He described to the captivated audience
how he received phone calls warning
of incoming aircraft, false bomb alerts,
and even a call from Russian President
Vladimir Putin.
Darling noted that one of the most
sobering moments was the realization
of just how unprepared the United
States was to respond to a crisis of such
a large scale.
“Here it is an hour and forty-five min-
utes after the attack began, the world’s
most powerful military and government
hasn’t had a response yet to help the
people of New York. It was a defeating
moment; it was very, very sad. As pow-
erful as we are, we’re not very nimble.”
Other sessions spanned topics from
cybersecurity to terrorism in Europe
to implementing the new ASIS risk
assessment and investigations stan-
dards. Cynthia Hetherington, president
of Hetherington Group, discussed ways
to use social media monitoring tools to
track online discussion about individu-
als, businesses, and events. She noted
the importance of tracking terrorist
activity online, since ISIS and similar
groups are at the forefront of digital
recruiting.
“It’s not just a social network of tech-
nology—it’s a social network of peo-
ple,” Hetherington explained. “That’s
why social networks are so important
when we’re talking about doing Dark
Web searches, or even the social Web.
The cybercaliphate is using the Internet
to target the military. ISIL tactics are
also being used by motorcycle gangs,
sovereign citizens, and any organized
crime group.”
Laura Odell, assistant director at the
Institute for Defense Analyses, offered
attendees a detailed look at the future
of data collection and what that could
mean for security professionals in a
session sponsored by the ASIS Global
Terrorism and Political Instability
Council.
“In 2001, ‘we’ve got an app for that’
was pretty much unheard of. What I’m
here to tell you is that in five years from
now or less, the phrases ‘natural lan-
guage processing’ and ‘supervised ma-
chine learning’ will be just as common
to you as ‘I’ve got an app for that.’”
Using machines for big data collection
will become a commonplace business
practice, but experts must supervise
machine learning capabilities to make
sure the information is accurate as well
as secure from hackers, she explained.
Officials from the Overseas Security
Advisory Council discussed hot-button
topics they’ve been focused on this
year: The November Paris attacks and
the summer Olympics in Brazil. Robert
Weitzel, supervisory special agent with
Diplomatic Security Service, said there
are 1500 American athletes and coaches
attending the Olympics this summer,
along with up to 200,000 American
fans. The games are being hosted at
32 venues in four different Olympic
clusters in the geographically challeng-
ing city of Rio de Janeiro, and Weitzel
raised concerns that public infrastruc-
ture could hinder the movement be-
tween Olympic sites. He also touched
on Brazilian security capabilities, the
threats of crime and political
violence, and the temptation for
terrorists to “carry out an attack
against the world via Brazil.”
Marian Cotter, the senior re-
gional security officer at the U.S.
Embassy in Paris, discussed the
timeline following the Paris at-
tacks last November. Cotter says
her team first learned about the
attacks from U.S. Department of
State personnel, who had seen

social media postings about explosions
at the Stade de France. The timing of
the attacks was challenging for the
embassy because many workers had
left, Cotter noted. Also difficult was
handling media misinformation.
“The media barrage was almost im-
possible to keep up with,” Cotter said.
“Washington calling to confirm what
the media is reporting, and in France
the police give, sell, or share informa-
tion with the media almost immediately.
So some of the information was quite
ac­cu­rate, but trying to confirm that
was challenging.”
Cotter closed by saying that the terror
threat is evolving, and based on the
Brussels attacks, “this is the new nor-
mal” for Europe.
Thursday afternoon’s luncheon
started off with the pomp and circum-
stance of a bagpipe procession and the

Person of the year. After lunch,
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Secretary Jeh Johnson was presented
with the ASIS NYC Person of the Year
Award for his work on promoting na-
tional security throughout his career.
Johnson thanked the Society and
noted that it was a special honor to
receive the award at the New York Con-
ference and Expo because he’s from
New York and started his career there
as a prosecutor. He talked about what
it was like to be in the city on 9-11 and
watch the towers fall.
“I remember the sheer, unimag-
inable horror of that day, and it was
out of that day that my commitment to
national security was born,” Johnson
said. “I’m proud to have spent four
years as the general counsel of the
Defense Department during that mo-
mentous time. We
degraded al Qaeda
during those four
years.”
Johnson discussed how proud he is
of his team, and asked all DHS employ-
ees to stand for applause. He discussed
some of the recent accomplishments
of the department, including the take­
down of 120 members of two New York
street gangs. He also emphasized the
importance of cooperation to fight
terrorist threats. “It is all the more im-
portant that we work together at the
national level, the local level, and part-
nerships with many of you in the pri-
vate sector. Given where we are in the
global terrorist threat [picture], it’s the
cops on the street who may detect the
next terror attack in the United States.”

CSOCenter
MANY HIGHLY ACCOMPLISHED
security leaders and experts held
forth at the 9th Annual CSO Summit
on May 22 through 24, yet the most
unforgettable star of the show was
the venue itself—Skywalker Ranch at
Big Rock, the workplace of Star Wars
creator George Lucas, nestled peace-
fully among the rolling hills of Marin
County, California.
CSO Center organizers took full
advantage of the setting. The event
featured two receptions that included
wines from the on-site Skywalker Vine-
yards; a screening of Star Wars: The
Force Awakens at the ranch’s famous
Stag Theater; and an extensive tour of
the Main House, a 50,000-square-foot
Victorian Mansion that houses Lucas’s
office, a two-story research library
under a stained-glass dome, paintings
by Maxfield Parrish and Norman Rock-
well, and the filmmaker’s large record
collection.
Consistent with the Star Wars films
was the forward-looking theme of the
event: “The 21st Century Enterprise:
How the Next Decade Will Change
the Organization as We Know It
Today.” Speakers approached the
topic from various angles, offering
insights on what the workplace
of tomorrow, and the practice of
commerce, may look like during
the next 10 years.
In his opening keynote ad-
dress, “Leading the Enterprise
of 2020,” author Mario Moussa,
who teaches in the executive education
program at the Wharton School of
Business, predicted that relationships
in the workplace of the future will be
“flatter, looser, wider, and faster.” In
other words, hierarchies will matter
less; more employees will have flexi-
ble schedules; working remotely will
become more common; and the pace
of technological change will continue
to increase. “This is the world of the
future,” Moussa said.
In this wide and loose world, collab-
oration and building successful teams
will become more important than ever—
but therein lie challenges, Moussa
explained. Teams often suffer from
communication and coordination prob-
lems. Team leaders can have difficulty
understanding others and accurately
understanding how others see them.
This is because we all have personal
biases that interfere with our grasp of
objective truth. “We all suffer from the
illusion of insight,” Moussa said.
How can leaders battle these biases?
By making repeated efforts to chal-
lenge their own assumptions—about
employees, the meaning of events, or
the apparent worth of new business
ideas, Moussa said. He advised leaders
to gather information through close
observation, as an anthropol-
ogist might. “Most of the time,
we’re not paying attention,” he
said. Team leaders should also
follow a “Goals, Roles, Norms”
paradigm: Formulate meaning-
ful objectives, delineate who
does what, and communicate
process specifics clearly. Fi-
nally, Moussa reminded attend-
ees that success often happens
slowly, through the aggregation
of marginal gains. “The best get
better little by little,” he said.
In a session titled “Rethink-
ing Risk Management for a
Changing Workforce,” panelist
Brent Eastwood explored the
future by discussing global
trends that will affect the prac-
tice of international business.

Eastwood—the CEO of GovBrain,
Inc., a software company that pre-
dicts the financial markets based
on government information and
events—sees 2022 as “a key year
in demographics.” By 2022, India
will surpass China as the world’s
most populous nation, and Nigeria
will become a true African giant,
with a population of more than 400
million. On the other side of the
spectrum will be Russia and East-
ern Europe, which will experience a 10
percent population decrease by 2022.
Overall, 60 percent of the world’s
population will reside in cities by 2022,
with 70 percent of the world’s people
in cities by 2050, Eastwood said. The
rise of huge megacities such as Tokyo,
Lagos, and Delhi will mean expanded
market opportunities for global firms.
It also means that some companies
should start thinking in terms of indi-
vidual cities, rather than entire regions,
when looking to expand market share.
And 2022 also marks the year that
Qatar will host the World Cup soccer
tournament. The country’s preparation
for the event has been marred by many
problems, from corruption to stadium
construction safety. How the event
transpires could be a key indicator for
doing business in the region in the
future. “It will be huge for the Middle
East and the developing world,” East-
wood said.
As for the future of the U.S. work-
place, population changes are afoot
there too, experts said. By 2020, mem-
bers of the millennial generation—
those in their 20s and early 30s—will
make up 50 percent of the workforce,
according to Jeff Snyder, president
of securityrecruiter.com and JeffSny-
derCoaching.com. For many of these
younger workers, electronic communi-
cation is their default mode, and man-
agers must get used to this, while still
accommodating older workers. “You’re
going to have to adjust to multiple
styles,” he said.
Another characteristic of Millen-
nials is that they are not reluctant to
change jobs, or even careers, said Carly
Sper­anza, department chair of the
intelligence enterprise at the National
Intelligence University. That means
that managers of the future must make
the extra effort to keep them supplied
with interesting work that engages their
sense of purpose.
Other­wise, costly
turnover will be
high. “Don’t give
people a reason
to leave. Give
people a reason
to stay,” she
said. u

Women in Security SPOTLIGHT
Q What is your current role?
What do you love most?
A I am the CEO of IIRIS, a niche
risk-consulting firm that seeks to
add business value for its clients via
innovative security solutions. Being a
CEO to a young startup, your role is
never really confined to a single as-
pect–from client acquisition, han-
dling, to delivery–it is an end-to-end
management process.
The thing I love most about my job
is that it is not a job. I live my passion
each day—hence, despite work pres-
sures, I don’t feel stressed out. Also, no
two assignments are the same so there
is no monotony. I also get to change
perceptions about women in uncon-
ventional careers by leading in my
own small way.
Q How did your career in the
security industry develop?
A I was a corporate lawyer. After
three years as an in-house coun-
sel to an Indian private banking com-
pany, I realized that law was not my
calling. Risk mitigation and security
consulting had fascinated me for some
time. No matter what the perception
of women is in this domain, it is ulti-
mately a myth that all you need is
physical strength. The truth is that
you need analytical and strategic skill
sets.
Q How do you deal with issues
and obstacles that come with
time zones and cultures?
A The first step is acceptance that
there will be issues. Also, you
need to be open and understanding in
your interactions with the clients, and
read about their cultures and local ju-
risdictions. I love interacting with my
local counterparts to learn more about
corporate life across different geogra-
phies. So the clients know that despite
an Indian phone number flashing on
their screens, I will be able to tackle
their local problems and make my team
understand the requirements.
Q Do you see the role of the se-
curity professional changing
in the next five to 10 years?
A Chief risk officers and chief secu-
rity officers are a critical part of
each organization. However, this is just
the first step. Businesses are realizing
that every new step or innovation needs
to be backed by concepts of security to
help them survive and build their bot-
tom lines. Once viewed as a cost center,
the domain of security is now slowly
becoming seen as a direct benefit to the
balance. This needs to continue.
Q What is the most important
lesson you have learned
during the past year?
A Never underestimate your own
power. We never give ourselves
true credit. There is energy, adrenalin,
and courage that comes out when you
hit the roughest road. Also, you cannot
do everything on your own, no matter
now hard working you are. There is a
reason we are called social animals
and therefore having team backing is
a must.
Q Do you have any professional
aspirations or goals you’re
still working on?
A Yes, and each day the goals
change and I keep making them
steeper. I don’t know my ultimate goal.
As of now, to work in a position that
the industry respects without consid-
eration of my gender is one of my big-
gest goals.
Q What advice would you give
women who are just begin-
ning their careers in security?
A Love the work that you do and
respect it. Also, read and learn
continuously. When you stop, compla-
cency starts and you stop growing. u

Sports Teams Security
CRISP Report Released
THE ASIS FOUNDATION Research
Council has released the newest in its
series of Connecting Research in Secu-
rity to Practice (CRISP) reports.
Sports and athletic events such
as the Olympic
Games, World
Cups, and Super
Bowls are major
industries around
the globe. Because
competitions
occur at distant
locales, travel is
an integral part of
the athletes’ and
teams’ schedules.
Sports Team Travel Security is authored
by Jacques R. Island and Peter Tarlow,
Ph.D., to explore the unique risks that
traveling athletes face, as well as pro-
vide mitigation recommendations for
those charged with protecting them.
There is no single accepted definition
or scope for sports team travel security.
The authors define it as protecting
adult amateur, collegiate, and pro-
fessional team athletes during travels
to and from sports venues and while
lodging away from their home base, by
identifying, mitigating, or managing
potential threats or actual incidents of
harassment, demonstrations, criminal
assaults, theft or robbery, sabotage,
terrorism, natural disasters, health
hazards, and other safety issues.
The report provides a summation
of valid literature, looks at current se-
curity strategies and methods in use,
explores measuring the effectiveness
of these approaches, offers checklists
and recommended reading, and iden-
tifies future research needs.
Sports Team Travel Security has been
published via a microsite, at founda-

ASIS Europe 2016
FLearning the London WayF
Professional programs. On Wednes-
day, April 6, the event kicked off with
professional tours and programs. One
of these was held in the BP Lecture The-
atre of the Clore Center for Education,
British Museum. The host was David
Bilson, CPP, head of security and visitor
services. Bilson’s program focused on
the elaborate security and safety pro-
gram at the museum. There was also an
overview of the security designed into
the new Francis Crick Institute, a med-
ical research institute with the mission
of curing cancer, given by David Clark,
CPP, PCI, PSP, head of security.
Said Bilson of just a small part of
the museum’s security duties: “We do
what it says on the tin. We do man-
guarding; we do security technology;
we have a 24-hour responsibility for the
site. Visitor services within our depart-
ment are focused on engaging with
the visitor, looking after the galleries,
making visitors welcome, looking after
them if they have an accident…. We
More than 650 security professionals gathered for ASIS
Europe 2016, the 15th ASIS European Security Conference and Exhi-
bition, at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London, from April
6 to 8. As always, the educational track was bursting at its seams, the
preseminar programs were at full capacity, the keynotes were dynamic
and thought-provoking, and the receptions were unique and utterly
memorable.
Attendees enjoy the President’s
Reception at the British Museum.

21. Martin Smith, chairman and founder
of The Security Company, UK; “Deal-
ing with Insider Threat from Radical­
i­zation: Employees Gone Rogue,” by
Werner Cooreman, CPP, PSP, then vice
president of Security Express Europe-
DHL, Germany; and “Jihadi Terror-
ism in Europe 2016-2017,” by Glenn
Schoen, CEO of Boardroom@Crisis,
The Netherlands.
Keynotes. The opening keynote
came from Superintendent David
Roney, of the UK National Counter Ter-
rorism Policing Headquarters, who out-
lined the UK’s counterterror approach
and the police’s prepare-and-protect
strategies. Roney highlighted the need
for partnership among law enforce-
ment, businesses, and security service
providers.
Juan Carlos Pastor, Ph.D., professor
of organizational behavior at IE Busi-
ness School, Spain, addressed those
attending the
dedicated sessions
of the CSO Center
track. Pastor spoke
on leadership qualities and successful
strategies for those responsible for
large operational teams.
One of the most anticipated speak-
ers was Aimen Dean, the so-called
“Spy Who Came in from al Qaeda.”
Dean is a former member of al Qaeda
who later became a spy for Britain’s
security and intelligence services, MI5
and MI6. Dean provided attendees
with an insider’s view on the origins
and current state of a range of Islamic
extremist groups operating across the
Middle East, Europe, and Africa. He
said that it is vastly important to real-
ize that Middle East is in the midst of
a Muslim civil war. Naming the region
the “Miserable East,” Dean said that
ISIS wants life to worsen for European
also look after ticketing sales.”
Of security’s big picture, Bilson
notes “we are constantly reassessing
the risk that the museum faces. My
biggest worry is international terror-
ism.” (The November issue of Security
Management will feature an article on
the museum’s security program.)
The day ended with a Welcome
Party—powered by Nedap at the Lead-
enhall Building, also known as “the
Cheesegrater,” a 737-foot skyscraper
that offered attendees spectacular
views of London.
Sessions. The educational program
included more than 50 sessions across
five tracks, covering the full spectrum
of security management topics. One
of the most memorable was given by
Totti Karpela, titled, “Psychopaths
in the Corporate World: A Nightmare
Dressed Like a Daydream.” Karpela,
who is a 20-year veteran of the Finnish
police and current director of Peace of
Mind Threat Management Company,
Ltd., of Hong Kong, said that during
the course of his work there were
times when he met a person “who was
clearly a psychopath,” but instead of
being down-and-out criminals, they
can be “very well-known in the media,
very successful, and yet they still
commit these crimes. And you start to
wonder why do they do it?” The best
answer may be that they can’t help
themselves. They are largely devoid
of empathy, guilt, and love, and they
rarely learn from their mistakes.
In a corporate environment, a psy-
chopath can lead to not just millions,
but billions of pounds, dollars, or
euros lost by businesses, Karpela said.
Psychopaths lie without any sense
of remorse and can make profitable
decisions in stressful situations be-
cause they feel no anxiety. This—and
their ability to interview well because
of their own narcissism—often lands
them in the C-suite or the boardroom,
where havoc can then ensue.
Other outstanding sessions included
“Integrating Chemical, Biological, or
Radiological Resilience into Phyiscal
Security Design,” by Dan Kaszeta,
managing director of Strongpoint
Security Ltd., UK; “The Insider Threat
and the Employment Lifecycle,” by

Young Professionals at ASIS Europe 2016
BY ALEXANDER T. ZIPPEL, CPP
One of the more than 50 educational sessions at ASIS Europe addressed
an important security sector topic, “How to Make the Security Profession a
First Choice Career for Young, Talented, Intelligent Individuals.”
The ASIS Young Professionals (YP) initiative representatives Nicole This-
sen, Deutsche Telekom, and Alexander T. Zippel, CPP, Deutsche Post DHL
Group, moderated the panel, providing direction to the debate. Well-recog-
nized panelists from four European countries represented different per-
spectives—young professional, recruiter, academia, and corporate security—
to provide a 360-degree view of the opportunities and challenges that YPs
face. During the discussion, the panel touched upon education, mentoring,
and networking, which are the three activity areas of the YP initiative.
Further, the job requirements, skills, and personal development paths to
build the next generation of leadership were discussed, providing session
attendees with different perspectives on, and important insights about, the
YP target groups.

22. Muslims as one
means of reach-
ing its goals.
ISIS’s strategy
is to weaken the European Union by
causing turmoil and tension within
member states. He also said that ISIS
viewed the UK’s EU membership ref-
erendum as an opportunity to target
the UK in the run up to polling day by
attempting to cause panic, reinforce
the chances of a vote to exit the EU,
and ultimately claim the UK’s exit from
the EU as a victory in its propaganda
campaign.
Exhibits. The social hub of the
event was the exhibition floor where
34 companies displayed cutting-edge
technology, services, and solutions for
today’s security challenges. Exhibitors
also had the opportunity to present
their latest analyses and research in the
technology and solutions track, a new
feature in this year’s event, which was
standing-room-only for many sessions.
Event sponsors were Tyco Integrated
Fire & Security, Axis Communications,
Securitas, HID Global,
Nedap, Prosegur, QCC
Global, and The S2 Safety
and Intelligence Institute.
Receptions. There is
only one word to describe
the venues for the Pres-
ident’s Reception, held on Thursday,
April 7, and a closing reception hosted
by the United Kingdom Chapter on Fri-
day, April 8. That word is “Wow.”
The President’s Reception, hosted
by ASIS President Dave Davis, CPP,
took place in the Egyptian Sculpture
Gallery of the British Museum. Con-
ference attendees spent several hours
eating hors d’oeuvres and drifting from
one ancient object to another, snap-
ping pictures, discussing the art and
the history of Egypt, and networking.
The closing reception took place at
the venerable House of Lords, under
the patronage of Baroness Harris of
Richmond. Conference goers could
enjoy the spring air on a balcony over-
looking the Thames River or inside a
private room, where the Baroness, who
retired as patron of the United Kingdom
Chapter that night, entertained with
stories of her years as peer of the realm.
ASIS Europe 2017 will take place in
Milan, Italy, from March 29 to 31, 2017.

Councils
Executive
Protection
Council
Launched
THE ASIS INTERNATIONAL
Executive Protection Council,
the newest addition to the ASIS
International roster of 34 coun-
cils, has been approved by the
ASIS Board of Directors.
Members of the council work
in executive protection (EP) full
time, oversee EP departments,
or advise clients on EP concerns,
according to the council’s chair,
Robert Oatman, CPP. Senior
managers from Fortune 500
companies as well as from
privately-held companies that
provide EP services to the private
and government sectors serve on
the council.
Impetus to form the coun-
cil began in 2013, when ASIS
offered a Certificate in Executive
Protection. While Oatman had been
teaching a two-day program for ASIS
on executive protection since 1998,
growing interest in the course and the
certificate led to the formation of an ad
hoc council in 2014.
With its formal status now secured,
council members will focus in earnest
on their mission and goals, which
include providing education and
resources on professional executive
protection and establishing EP as a
business enabler to keep protectees
safe and productive. In the short term,
the council will foster its active lead-
ership, as well as add new members,
enhance content to the council’s web-
site, and present a webinar.
International interest in EP is evi-
denced by the diverse backgrounds of
the students that attend the ASIS EP
programs. Many are currently working
in the field, but all want to learn more
about the art of executive protection.
In addition, says Oatman, corporations
have realized the value of EP services.
As a result, EP has become a viable ca-
reer path for individuals transitioning
from law enforcement or government
positions.

Active Shooter
White Paper
Released
THE ASIS INTERNATIONAL School
Safety and Security Council has re-
leased a highly-anticipated white pa-
per, Active Shooter. The 60-page doc-
ument consists of 13 chapters written
by members of the council who hold
security and safety positions at
colleges, universities, and ele-
mentary and secondary schools,
or are consultants to these insti-
tutions.
Each author addresses a
different proactive approach to
preventing and responding to
active shooter situations. After
an introduction to active shooter
programs, the following topics
are among those covered in
subsequent chapters: the six
phases of an attack, pre-attack
indicators, on-site training
programs, behavioral threat as-
sessment teams, hardening the
target, primary and secondary
schools as soft targets, and les-
sons learned.
The last chapter, “To Arm or
Not to Arm…Teachers,” exam-
ines both sides of this heated
debate and offers advice on
teacher training and the conse-
quences of each strategy. The
author concludes, however,
“that both sides have the same
goal, which is to keep our schools, stu-
dents, and teachers safe.”
Active Shooter ends with five appen-
dices, which include articles from Se-
curity Man-
agement,
“A Guide
to Safe
Schools”
from the
U.S. De-
partment
of Educa-
tion, and
conclu-
sions from
the ASIS

Violence Prevention and Response
Guidelines.

THE ASIS INTERNATIONAL Women
in Security (WIS) Council’s Certifica-
tion Committee is working with the
WIS Global Chapter Liaison Committee
to promote ASIS certifications at the
chapter level. The committee will con-
tinue to provide certification-related
information to the WIS Global Chapter
Liaison Committee for the latter’s
dissemination to chapters. The Certi-
fication Committee understands the
importance of consistent messaging
to encourage female security profes-
sionals to seek ASIS certification and
the committee continues to promote
ASIS certifications through informative
newsletter articles.
Strategic alliance. The WIS Stra-
tegic Alliance Committee continues its
strategic alliance with Women in Fed-
eral Law Enforcement for a third year.
The committee has also established
a new alliance with the International
Association of Financial Crimes Inves-
tigators, and is vetting other potential
future alliances. The committee lever-
ages the value of its strategic alliances
several ways, including through in-
formation sharing, regular newsletter
articles, promotion of events of mutual
interest, and attending and speaking
at events.
Global liaisons. The WIS Global
Liaisons Committee reached out to all
group liaisons around the world and
talked to them individually by tele-
phone. Liaisons from Egypt, Africa,
Canada, and the United States were
contacted. These calls help in identi-
fying the challenges that the liaisons
encounter.
Marquez honors. The Karen Mar-
quez Honors first debuted at ASIS 2013
in Chicago. Marquez was the co-owner
and executive vice president of MVM,
Inc., a physical security services firm
based in Virginia, who died in 2006 af-
ter a long battle with cancer. That year,
MVM established the Karen Marquez
Institute for the purpose of helping
Hispanic students obtain a college
education. In 2010, the Karen Marquez
Institute was transformed into the
Marquez Foundation, a not-for-profit
organization to honor the causes she
had passion for.
This year at ASIS 2016 in Orlando,
WIS will be holding the 4th Karen
Marquez Honors presentation Sunday,
September 11, at The Rosen Centre
from 6 to 8 p.m. The venue can only
hold 250 people, so register early
