the important issue of
workplace violence
being addressed by a
well-qualified security
professional—instead
of annoying format-
ting and grammar is-
sues—they will be re-
warded with serious
servings of practical
advice and grounded
knowledge.
Sollars has claimed
the title of “the blind security
guy” and asserts “I may be blind
but I still have vision.” In regards
to workplace violence, that vision
includes his assessment that “Pre-
venting Workplace Violence, con-
trary to what many experts will
tell you, is not complicated. What
it is, is time consuming and [de-
tail] oriented…a matter of gather-
ing facts, sorting details, planning,
and connecting the dots.”
Sollars highlights the impact of
domestic violence as a precursor
to much workplace violence and
argues for greater awareness by
coworkers and supervisors alike.
He acknowledges the ongoing im-
pact of bullying in many forms as
an early warning sign for work-
place violence. His discussion of
policies and procedures is espe-
cially insightful—noting that secu-
rity is the biggest element of pol-
icy you will confront when
actively seeking to prevent work-
place violence. Aware of the ten-
dency to overwrite policy and
procedures he warns, “you have
to be able to use your own com-
mon sense, as well as the policies
and procedures when dealing with
employees.”
The net assessment of One is
Too Many is this: It is worth your
while to spend some time
with the blind security
guy. The visit requires a
reader to be forgiving of
minor irritants, but Sollars
shares credible advice on
a topic that is of continu-
ing concern.

The Effective Security Officer’s
Training Manual, Third Edition.
By Ralph Brislin, CPP. Butter-
worth-Heinemann; Available
from ASIS; asisonline.org; Item
#2213; 336 pages; $65 (members);
$71 (nonmembers).
n effective security force
must be well trained and
knowledgeable about
how to deal with all kinds of se-
curity issues. The Effective Security
Officer’s Training Manual provides
one place to start in developing a
training program. Security person-
nel would certainly benefit from
much of the material laid
out in its 34 chapters.
Much of what security offi-
cers are required to know
is detailed here, including
ethics, elements of profes-
sionalism, cultural diver-
sity, legal elements, persons
with special needs, and
workplace violence. In ad-
dition, there are discussion
questions at the end of
most chapters aimed at increasing
reader comprehension. The pub-
lisher also provides additional
training material with online com-
panion materials, as well as in-
structor support materials. With-
out a doubt, security personnel
would benefit from the knowledge
contained therein.
The book is not without short-
comings. Chapters vary wildly in
length, which can make it a chal-
lenge for instructors to teach the
material. In addition, references go
back 40 years and more. Of course
some fundamentals within the se-
curity industry never change, but
the book would benefit from a
thorough updating. A clear expla-
nation of how the content is to
be delivered to the student and a
discussion of testing procedures
would have been excellent addi-
tions. Are trainees to read the
book and answer the questions
on their own, in a group, or in a
class? Information on effective
training procedures could enhance
the factual information contained
in the book.
It is extremely disappointing to
read the author’s perspective of
the events of September 11, 2001,
about the “American citizens…
civilians and American soldiers”
who died since 9-11. The fact is
that this is not just an American
issue. People from more than 90
countries perished, and soldiers
and civilians from a score of
countries have died in subsequent
military actions. For example,
Canada lost 158 Canadian military
personnel, and another 3,028
deaths from coalition forces were
sustained. The author introduces
the sad facts of
9-11 to discuss
the important
role that security
personnel can
play in protect-
ing people and
property; by
concentrating on
the American
perspective, he
misses an oppor-
tunity to educate security person-
nel that they are part of a global
coalition and not just a local effort.
It is a disservice to all the coun-
tries around the world fighting
terrorism.

8. ASIS Members 1967-Style
In the June 1967 issue of Industrial
Security—an ASIS precursor publica-
tion of today’s Security Management—
the results of a survey were reported
that provided an interesting picture
of the Society’s membership at that
time. The average member was 46
years old and had been a member
for five years. On the educational
front, 42 percent had graduated from
college, 18 percent held educational
degrees, and 49 percent had attended
special security courses.
Concerning salaries, 37 percent
indicated they earned more than
$25,000 per year, with the average
salary at $13,923. In response to the
question on job titles, 42 different
titles were given, with di-
rector of security and
safety, security officer, and
corporate security officer
as the top three.
Two questions solicited
details on the corporate
positioning of security in
1967. The first asked to
whom the head of secu-
rity reported. Of those
who answered, 44 percent
said the head of security
reported to the president
(top official) or vice presi-
dent of the company. A
long list resulted from a
question asking the “prin-
cipal area of operations”
of the subject’s employer,
other than government.
Answers covered 39 industries with
only two—aerospace/aircraft/missiles
and electronics—in double digits.
The purchasing authority and
purchasing power of the member-
ship were also surveyed. Approxi-
mately 40 percent reported having
“full authority” to purchase security
equipment, supplies, and services,
but not capital equipment. Based
on survey results, it was concluded
that the 1967 ASIS industrial secu-
rity executive was primarily re-
sponsible for purchases of security
equipment, supplies, and services
totaling more than $48 million.
By comparison, spending for se-
curity in the United States increased
to $410 billion in 2014—up from $388
billion in 2013. In addition, the last
ASIS salary survey in 2012 revealed
that the median compensation for
security professionals in the United
States increased 2 percent from 2011
to $102,000, while the average annual
compensation increased 14 percent
to $121,000. In addition, respondents
who had a Certified Protection
Professional® (CPP) certification,
administered by ASIS, reported a
median compensation of $111,000,
and an average of $130,000—8 per-
cent higher than the average for the
survey population at large. The
survey reflected the responses of
1,438 U.S. members of ASIS.
In the parlance of the swinging
60s, “We’ve come a long way,
baby.”
Councils Keep Climbing
We leave the 1960s to reconnoiter
in the 1990s—a time when ASIS
councils (then mainly called com-
mittees) were burgeoning and
when volunteer leaders used their
experience on a council as a
springboard to the Board of Direc-
tors. Every Society president during
the decade had experience gleaned
by membership on a council prior
to his or her term of office.
Councils expanded in number
and in scope during the decade.
For instance, security architecture
and engineering was previously
addressed by a subcommittee of
the Physical Security Committee.
In 1990, it stood on its own, devel-
oping workshops, writing articles,
and giving session presentations at
the Annual Seminar and Exhibits.
The Ad Hoc Committee on
Gaming and Wagering put on its
own workshop in 1996 in conjunc-
tion with the World Gaming Con-

Nevada. Based on this success, it
became a permanent standing com-
mittee and continued to provide a
security education component to
the World Gaming Congress.
The Business Practices Council
was formed in 1994 at the behest
of Chad Rea, CPP, who served as
ASIS president in 1993. The coun-
cil grew out of a two-day meeting
of 35 security practitioners. A core
group continued to meet, exploring
management disciplines that per-
tained to security. Later in the dec-
ade, the council prepared a bench-
marking proposal, led workshops
on security management strategies
and practices, published five vol-
umes of the Security Business Practices
Reference, and more.
A main focus in the 1990s was
education, especially through ses-
sions at the Annual Seminar and
Exhibits and stand-alone workshops.
A 1990 workshop, for example, took
a look behind the headlines at the
Tylenol drug tampering case, in
which seven people died. During
the same year, the Substance Abuse
Committee held a three-day work-
shop, during which government and
industry speakers provided statistics
and solutions, but the most riveting
material came from two former
drug addicts who spoke to the at-
tendees. Both stressed the impor-
tance of employer intervention in
breaking the drug-use cycle.
And already the push toward
globalism had begun and commit-
tees held events outside the United
States. The Privacy and Personnel
Information Management Commit-
tee was one group who did this,
joining forces with Scandinavian
chapters to run a workshop on
hiring quality employees.
Today, ASIS has 34 active and
hard-working councils. What hasn’t
changed is that these ASIS councils
require new ideas and perspectives
from Society members who want
to join them in doing research and
other projects that move the indus-
try forward. For more information

was sent to Vietnam in 1965. He
remained in the country in com-
bat conditions for a year. After
the war, Kelly joined the Marine
Corps Reserves and retired after
30 years of service with the rank
of colonel. Kelly holds a Bachelor
of Business
Administra-
tion from
Manhattan
College. He
also has ob-
tained a juris
doctor from
the St. John’s
University
School of
Law, an
LLM from the New York Univer-
sity School of Law, and an MPA
from the Harvard Kennedy
School.
Currently, Kelly serves as presi-
dent of Cushman & Wakefield’s
Risk Management Services Divi-
sion. He is also a distinguished
visiting fellow at the Council on
Foreign Relations and an ABC
News Consultant.
General Michael Hayden
General Michael Hayden is a re-
tired four-star general who served
as director of the CIA and the
NSA when the course of world
events was changing at an acceler-
ating rate. As head of the coun-
try’s key intelligence-gathering
agencies, he was on the frontline
of geopolitical strife and the war
on terrorism. He understands the
dangers, risks, and potential re-
wards of the political, economic,
and security situations facing the
planet.
During
Wednesday’s
general ses-
sion, Hay-
den will dis-
sect political
situations in
hot spots
around the
world, ana-
lyze the
tumultuous
global environment, and discuss
what it all means for people
around the globe.
Hayden will speak on the deli-
cate balance between liberty and
security in intelligence work, as
well the potential benefits and
dangers associated with the
cyberverse. As the former
head of two multibillion
dollar enterprises, Hayden
also addresses the chal-
lenges of managing com-
plex organizations in times
of stress and the need to
develop effective internal
and external communica-
tions.
Hayden became director
of the CIA in May 2006, capping
a career of service to the United
States that included nearly 40
years in the Air Force. From 2005
to 2006, Hayden was the coun-
try’s first principal deputy di-
rector of national intelligence
and the highest-ranking mili-
tary intelligence officer in the
country.
From 1999 to 2005, Hayden
served as the director of the
NSA and chief of the Central
Security Service after being ap-
pointed by President Bill Clin-
ton. He worked to put a hu-
man face on the famously
secretive agency, explaining to the
American people the role of the
NSA and making it more visible
on the national scene.
General James N. Mattis
Those attending Thursday’s Clos-
ing Luncheon will hear some of
the general’s fascinating experi-
ences before retiring in 2013 after
41 years of service. Mattis
was the eleventh com-
mander of United States
Central Command oversee-
ing all operations in the
Middle East. Before replac-
ing General David Petraeus
in August 2010, he had pre-
viously headed U.S. Joint
Forces Command and
served concurrently as
NATO’s supreme allied
commander transformation.
Throughout his career in the
military, Mattis has commanded
at multiple levels. As a lieutenant,
he served as a rifle and weapons
platoon commander in the 3rd
Marine Division. As a captain, he
commanded a rifle company and
a weapons company in the 1st
Marine Brigade. As a major, he
headed Recruiting Station Port-
land. As a lieutenant colonel, he
commanded 1st Battalion, 7th
Marines, one of Task Force Rip-
per’s assault battalions in Opera-
tions Desert Shield and Desert
Storm. As a colonel, he led the
7th Marines (Reinforced).
Upon becoming a brigadier
general, Mattis commanded first
the 1st Marine Expeditionary
Brigade and then Task Force 58,
during Operation Enduring Free-
dom in southern Afghanistan. As
a major
general,
he com-
manded
the 1st
Marine
Division
during
the ini-
tial at-
tack and
subse-
quent stability operations in Iraq
during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
In his first tour as a lieutenant
general, he commanded the Ma-
rine Corps Combat Development
Command and served as the
deputy commandant for combat
development.
Mattis was born in Pullman,
Washington and graduated from
Central Washington University
with a Bachelor of Arts degree in
history. He is also a graduate of
the Amphibious Warfare School,
Marine Corps Command and
Staff College, and the National
War College. Mattis currently
serves as a visiting fellow at Stan-
ford University and Dartmouth.

ifty-two people at-
tended the inaugural
Security Documents
and Project Management
Workshop held in late
February in San Diego,
California. This new
two-day program offers a
detailed look at how facil-
ities and projects are doc-
umented today. Whether
trying to work with a lo-
cal security vendor on a
specific upgrade or help-
ing the facilities depart-
ment create a new facility,
the language of project
documentation can be
daunting to the uniniti-
ated security professional.
A fundamental knowl-
edge of how security-re-
lated facility projects are
done is key to a project’s
success. Understanding
the design and construction pro-
cess and its related documentation
enhances the value of an educated
facilities security program team
member.
The class was taught by leading
security design architects, engi-
neers, and security experts, who
shared their experiences in com-
pleting cost-effective facility secu-
rity designs and projects. They
were: Rick Lavelle, PSP, principal
architect and owner, Creador Ar-
chitecture, LLC; Mark Schreiber,
CPP, president and principal con-
sultant, Safeguards Consulting, Inc.;
and J. Kelly Stewart, managing
principal and CSO, Newcastle
Consulting, LLC.
The curriculum included docu-
ment management; the project pre-
design phase; the project phase; the
bidding and contract phase; security
consultants; security program inte-
gration; security system documen-
tation; managing project changes;
and completing the process.

Q: How did you wind up working in
security?
A: After working for CSIS, I
served as deputy director, corporate
security, at Laval University, and as
chief of safety at Sobeys, before
joining GSK Vaccines in 2007. In
2013, I moved to Belgium to be
head of security and was promoted
last June to director of security and
crisis and continuity management.
Q: What do you know now that you
wish you had known at the start of your
security career?
A: As women, we are always wor-
rying. During my 20s, I worried
that any decision I made would
have irrevocable consequences and
there was only one path. The truth
is that there are many paths and
what looks like a setback today
may next year turn out well.
What’s more important is making
a difference and really affecting the
world around you.
Q: Did you have to overcome any obsta-
cles, perceptions, or stereotypes to get to
where you are now?
A: Yes, indeed. But, if I believe in
something, then other people will
too. It’s about selling yourself. Pa-
tience and listening are very impor-
tant in this career. If you want to
be a good manager, you have to
listen to your team.
Q: Can you describe a typical day in
your current role?
A: One of the best things about
my role is that no day is the same
and in the space of an hour you
can find yourself talking about
such diverse topics as security, risk
management, investigation, business
continuity planning, budgets, and
more. Many people have said to
me that the security director’s role
is the best job in the world, and it
only took a few days here for me
to agree with them. I feel incredibly
honored and fortunate to be in this
position and especially, as a North
American, being able to work in
Belgium and discover Europe!
My working day now starts
around 7:15 a.m. I like to get into
the office early to clear e-mails and
prepare. I make a few phone calls
early, as it’s the best time to get
people. Most of my day is spent in
various meetings or small group
discussions. I’m not the biggest fan
of meetings but they are a necessary
part of my job. My favorite bits of
the job are when I get to spend
time with my team or with indi-
viduals, working on plans to make
our department more effective and
deliver our objectives. I also really
enjoy giving what is hopefully clear
and direct feedback and helping
people t0 get insight into their per-
sonal and professional development.
I also value the time I spend
with colleagues in other parts of
the organization. I have a role to
play on the European leadership
team and I also stay connected
with my counterparts in the
United Kingdom. I mentor and, as
well as the great satisfaction I get
from being involved in the careers
of these talented individuals, it also
helps me stay connected to a part
of the business that I still have a
huge passion for.
Q: How have you been able to succeed
in your current position?
A: My leitmotif is “alone to go
faster but together to go further.”
Q: What advice do you have about
working with senior executives and stake-
holders outside of security?
A: Be prepared to stretch beyond
your comfort zone; have the confi-
dence that you can do the job and
take risks. I also put time into my
agenda for myself. When you are
ASIS Women in
Security Spotlight
NNICK TREMBLAY is director of security and crisis and
continuity management for the pharmaceutical company
GlaxoSmithKline (GKS) Vaccines. Based in Antwerp,
Belgium, she is a criminologist with 25 years of experi-
ence. Tremblay has developed, implemented, and managed security
programs, pandemic plans, contingency and emergency plans, as
well as broader risk management strategies.
Tremblay began her career as an operative with the Canadian
Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS). During that time she
worked as an investigator and as an intelligence officer in both
counterintelligence and counterterrorism. Tremblay’s career has lent
her a special understanding of the challenges around the protection
of intellectual property and the threats to it in North America and
Europe, in particular. Annick Tremblay

always in crisis mode, it’s not good.
I take time to refocus on my career,
my team, my vision, and myself.
Even if I just take an hour for my-
self it is worth it.
Q: What is the best advice you’ve ever
received?
A: Trust yourself.
Q: What do you think the next genera-
tion of security leaders will wrestle with
the most?
A: This is a big industry and we
need to understand that the security
profession is more than guard serv-
ice and uniforms. Security practition-
ers who expect to make a difference
must demonstrate business acumen,
people skills, and the ability to man-
age and communicate well with
others verbally and in writing. Com-
panies are taking more risk to get
more market share and the security
risks have become more complex.
When it comes to women in
leadership roles, I have found that
women prefer leading rather than
ruling and have more interactive
relationships with their teams. So,
why aren’t there more women in
the security industry? I think that
women tend to wait until they have
all the skills sought for a position be-
fore they apply for a role. Men tend
to feel they are qualified if they have
half the skills noted in a job posting.
Here some tips for women seek-
ing a career in the field of security:
Focus on special interests such as
risk management, protection serv-
ices, technology, or governance;
believe you are as talented as your
male counterparts; don’t get bogged
down in the mechanics of security;
consider mentoring; and network.
Q: What activities or interests do you pur-
sue outside of work and how important are
they to maintaining your equilibrium?
A: Time flies when you’re having
fun! So I’m trying to maintain a
healthy work/life balance by travel-
ling around Europe, drinking good
wines, reading books, Skyping
with my children and parents
every weekend, and eating healthy
meals. N

enior security executives dis-
cussed ways that information
technology will affect their
businesses and watched and re-
sponded to a hacking scenario that
made the cost of cybersecurity
breaches all too clear during a se-
ries of interactive, CSO-only ses-
sions held at the ASIS International
6th Middle East Security Confer-
ence and Exhibition in Dubai,
United Arab Emirates.
ASIS President Dave N. Tyson,
CPP, senior director of informa-
tion security and CISO of S.C.
Johnson & Son, kicked off the
opening panel presentation, “Infor-
mation as an Asset.” The session
looked at the ways in which a
company’s digital assets require a
CSO to understand, and have
some responsibility for mitigating
risk to these assets. Tyson, along
with Pramod Bhatt, director of se-
curity and intelligence with Sanofi,
discussed emerging risks from the
use of social media, Bring Your
Own Device policies, generational
differences, and economic espi-
onage.
Tyson’s session was followed by
Ben Downton, principal security
consultant with MWR InfoSecu-
rity. During “The Cybersecurity
Breach: Live,” Downton provided
attendees with a scenario in which
their organizations suffered a hack
and each group chose a preferred
response as the scenario continued
to worsen. Based on the majority
of answers, the scenario moved in
different directions, and attendees
could see first-hand the likely re-
sult of their decisions. There were
no right or wrong answers, only
different actions depending on
whether the company was more
interested in responding to the at-
tack, getting business up and run-
ning again, or other options.
A session on brand and reputa-
tion delved more deeply into the
ways that a security-related inci-
dent, whether physical or cyber,
could damage an organization’s
reputation, and how CSOs could

he ASIS International CSO
Roundtable will host the 8th
Annual CSO Roundtable
Summit, May 18 and 19, in Miami,
Florida, United States. Respected
thought leaders from the security
profession, business sector, and
academia will discuss developing
and implementing a comprehen-
sive security strategy that aligns
with business objectives at the 8th
Annual CSO Roundtable Summit.
The CSO Roundtable is a private
membership group within ASIS
for senior security executives from
the largest and most influential
organizations in the world.
“It is critical for senior security
practitioners to possess a firm un-
derstanding of core business pro-
cesses and principles to be suc-
cessful today,” commented Mike
Howard, president, CSO Round-
table Advisory Board. “The current
social and business landscape calls
for security to be represented in
the C-suite. To be an effective and
resourceful contributor at this level,
security executives must be able to
decisively demonstrate how secu-
rity operations strategically support
the advancement and achievement
of business goals.”
Educational sessions will be
presented over the two-day confer-
ence—each inspiring and preparing
senior security executives to iden-
tify, convey, and leverage strategy
within their organizations. Sessions

Harrison, adjunct professor,

Foreign Service, and Thomaz
Costa, principal, HorizonPoints,
LLC; “Strategy Amidst Chaos:
