1. LMOST 12 YEARS AFTER IT WAS
introduced as an advisory body on
public policy, and eight years after
it became a standalone member-
ship organization within ASIS International,
the CSO Roundtable is rebranding.
To emphasize the organization’s new
vision and mission—and to better reflect
the continuing objective of developing dep-
uties into leading security executives and
developing CSOs into business leaders—the
organization’s new name will be the CSO
Center for Leadership & Development.
“Our new identity reflects our commit-
ment to thought leadership, to developing
the next generation of CSOs, and to our
evolving suite of benefits,” says 2016 CSO
Center President Mike Maloof, CPP.
“We’ve changed dramatically,” Maloof
notes. “The new vision, mission, and
name are an explicit acknowledgement of
our shift in direction and focus.”
The CSO Center’s new mission is “A
safe and secure global community.” Accord-
ing to the reimagined
mission statement, the
center will “provide ex-
ecutive development,
thought leadership, and
resources for current and
future security leaders.”
The CSO Center of-
fers content in six areas:
executive development,
direct report advance-
ment, educational pro-
grams, CSO Nexus, col-
laborations and alliances,
and research. CSO
Nexus is a program
wherein industry experts
serve as confidential peer
advisors, which goes a
step beyond the bench-
marking services that
the CSO Roundtable has
long offered.

5. gies that fraudsters use to lead the
unsuspecting citizen into becoming
the victim of a scam. Most of us
have heard of many of these—but
many are cleverly disguised and
can easily fool.
The beauty of this book is in
its thoroughness in detailing the
amounts and kinds of fraud
traps—from secret shopper scams
to Ponzi schemes, from defraud-
ing individuals to corporate
fraud—and the measures designed
to detect and then counter the
schemes.
The book is presented in an
easy-to-read format that takes
complex schemes and makes
them understandable to the lay-
man. Each of the book’s 12 logical
chapters is devoted to a specific
type of fraud. To emphasize and
cement the ideas and concepts, the
book is chock full of pictures and
examples pulled from real situations.
Then, in a series of appendices, the
reader is presented with examples
of real scam e-mails. Reading
through these examples provides
the reader clear insight into how
advanced the fraud mechanisms
are and how easily ordinary peo-
ple can be fooled. Case studies
throughout the book solidify the
learning process as they tie together
the concepts and how they can
and are applied in the real world.
A Comprehensive Look at Fraud
Identification and Prevention is ideally
designed for the student or the
beginning security professional, but
it can serve as an easy reference or
catalog for the experienced fraud
professional. A comprehensive table
of contents makes it easy to navi-
gate to any important point within
the book. To ease the flow of in-
formation, the author provides
strategic use of bulleted statements
to emphasize important points.
Author Rick Youngblood brings
more than 20 years of military
criminal investigation experience
combined with a unique blend of
advanced academics to the subject
of fraud identification and preven-
tion, and he does so in a way that
is easily understood and digested by
the reader. This book is a welcome
addition to my professional library.

Library Security: Better Com-
munication, Safer Facilities. By
Steve Albrecht, CPP. Publisher: ALA
Editions; alastore.ala.org; 184
pages; $57.
V
arious books and white pa-
pers discuss library security,
but Steve Albrecht’s book
provides an in-depth approach to
library security, with an emphasis
on dealing with patron issues as
opposed to physical security. Al-
brecht briefly touches on the good
old days of library protocol and
how it has evolved over the years.
He offers expressive and critical
reasoning as to why some libraries
embrace the open environment—
allowing talking, phones, and the
homeless population who now
gather at many libraries seeking
shelter. He makes it clear that if an
individual’s conduct is hurting a
business, it must be addressed.
In today’s society, security pro-
fessionals are becoming increasingly
aware of cultural institutions’ need
for physical security requirements
and for implementing strategies to
deal with the behavior of patrons
and staff. Most times we do not
view the library staff as the en-
forcers of security rules and regula-
tions, but that is, in fact, what they
are. Albrecht does an excellent job
addressing the difficulty of dealing
with patron behaviors.
He delves into topics such as
workplace violence, safety, and
conflict resolution to name a few.
The book offers insight into how
to assist the library staff in dealing
with challenges and communi-
cating with patrons in a profes-
sional manner.
Throughout the book, Albrecht
supports his writings with staff
development recommendations
to ensure that strategies are de-
veloped to provide employees
with practical tools and proce-
dures to deal with crises, as well
as difficult patrons. His writing
style is straightforward and he
keeps the reader interested through-
out the various chapters.
In the chapter “Understanding
Threats and Getting Help,” Albrecht
writes, “There are two important
reasons to call the police for assis-
tance with problematic patron sit-
uations: To get the cops to help
you enforce consequences for the
situations, and for them to be able
to do what they do best, which is
to preserve the peace and lower
the emotional temperature.” This
statement can be used in any insti-
tution when police assistance is
needed; however, in a library set-
ting this advice is clear, concise,
and practical.
The examples he uses are
timely and correspond to the
book’s purpose. He also includes
five appendices that assist the
reader in conducting surveys, han-
dling training exercises, reducing
stress, and finding resources. This
book is aimed towards security and
library professionals. The book
covers various internal and external
issues that library personnel must
deal with, and it offers solutions
to situations that library staff deal
with on a daily basis.

public safety and risk management at

Each of the six subject areas of-
fers multiple benefits. Benefits relat-
ing to direct report advancement,
for instance, include ASIS certifi-
cate courses, involvement in creat-
ing ASIS standards, and mentoring
programs. “Expanding educational
opportunities is a key thrust of the
CSO Center going forward,” says
Maloof, who also serves as the
vice president of global physical
security for Oracle.
Another related priority is part-
nerships and collaborations. They
involve educational institutions
such as the Wharton School and
the IE Business School, which will
help members develop business,
management, and leadership skills.
The CSO Center also works closely
with complementary organizations
such as the Overseas Security Ad-
visory Council, the Domestic Secu-
rity Alliance Council, the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce, and (ISC)2.
“And we’ll continue work across
ASIS International to ensure that
the voice of senior security execu-
tives is heard in strategic planning,
research, and government affairs,”
says Peter Piazza, a former ASIS
vice president who has been re-
sponsible for the CSO Roundtable
for the past three years.
The rebranding arose from a
strategic retreat held by the CSO
Advisory Council in late 2015,
Maloof explains, during which
every aspect of the organization
was put under review. “We agreed
that our mission and vision did
not fully articulate who we are
and what we work to achieve,”
adds Piazza. The new name was
adopted, in part, to clarify that it
is not only for CSOs, and that it
is not a single event or group of
events, but a full-fledged member-
ship organization.
Membership requirements for
the CSO Center will remain largely
the same, though Maloof says there
will be some adjustments. The or-
ganization remains open to senior-
level security executives and their
deputies at Fortune 1000-size com-
panies and business units, as well
as those who work at large govern-
ment agencies, nonprofit organiza-
tions, elements of critical infrastruc-
ture, or organizations and facilities
that are deemed significant and
notable. The Roundtable currently
has about 350 members from more
than 30 countries, representing
every habitable continent.
The CSO Center will continue
to hold multiple live and virtual
programs. High-
lights include the
Annual Summit
(2016’s version
will be held in
California at the
Skywalker Ranch,
May 22 to 24), CSO-only tracks at
ASIS’s global conferences includ-
ing the ASIS Annual Seminar and
Exhibits, half-day CSO Conversa-
tions that focus on specific subjects
such as industrial espionage, and
webinars on emergent topics.

own senior-level experience making
foreign policy during the Ronald
Reagan’s and George W. Bush’s ad-
ministrations, to answer this criti-
cal, timely question: “What needs
to be done to keep America safe
amid the instability and danger that
rages in the Middle East region?”
Abrams was Bush’s special assis-
tant to the president and senior
director on the National Security
Council for Near East and North
African Affairs. Abrams became
deputy national security advisor
for global democracy strategy.
Abrams also teaches foreign policy
at Georgetown University.
Weathers. At the Closing
Luncheon of the Seminar and Ex-
hibits on Thursday, September 15,
attendees will hear from a man
who survived against all odds, and
whose life was forever altered by
his time on the world’s tallest
mountain. Caught in one of the
most violent and deadly storms in
the recorded history of the moun-
tain, Beck Weathers was at first
presumed dead by other survivors.
During his address, Weathers will
reflect on his survival, lessons
learned, and his appreciation for
getting a second chance at life.
“This year’s keynotes are out-
standing. Their personal insights
and timely perspectives offer secu-
rity professionals distinctive stories
and images of how past events
have influenced and impacted our
world today and for decades to
come,” says ASIS President Dave
Davis, CPP. “Each one has been
driven to excellence in his profes-
sion, and one demonstrated enor-
mous, almost super-human courage
and strength. Their stories will
fascinate, inform, and empower
our audience on many levels.”

Security Spotlight
on Social Media

A
recent video purportedly
made by supporters of the
Islamic State made threats
against Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack
Dorsey for fighting terrorism on
their Internet platforms. The video
claimed that the group has hacked
more than 10,000 Facebook ac-
counts, more than 150 Facebook
groups, and more than 5,000
Twitter profiles. In response to the
terrorist attack in San Bernardino
County, California, United States,
the FBI and Apple are trading legal
barbs over the unlocking of the
iPhone of the shooter.
What do these high-profile,
highly public instances portend for
security professionals? International
terrorism, executive protection,
personally identifiable information,
social media investigations, and
privacy are colliding, with far-flung
implications for the future of each.

N A NEW regular item, we take a look
at customer success stories gleaned
from ASIS International’s Member
Services Department.
In March,ASIS heard from longtime
member Robert D. Sollars, who wrote,
“While I don’t expect you to devote hours
or days to my issue, I would certainly ap-
preciate some time spent on it—if not
directly then in a generalized way for all
disabled members. I believe that I am the
only blind member of ASIS.As it is, I would
like to have certain issues dealt with some-
how; the biggest is Security Management
magazine. I have to send it to a person
who reads and records it; then it comes
back to me. Unfortunately, that process
takes anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks. In
that time, I miss out on being able to dis-
cuss workplace violence issues with my
colleagues in a manner that shows I am
a professional who keeps up-to-date.”
ASIS internal staff sought a solution to
Sollars’ dilemma and Michael Gips, vice
president of publishing, and Nello Cara-
mat, publisher, found a solution, telling
him, “We are very sympathetic to your
situation. Perhaps each month we could
provide you with copies of all the articles
and departments in Microsoft Word, and
you can listen to the stories via Word’s
text-to-speech feature?”
Sollars was thrilled. “That would be
absolutely wonderful if you would do
that for me.To listen to the magazine in
a timely way—it would be both a won-
derful dream come true and help in my
professional development!”
ASIS also recruited Sollars’ input to
help ensure that ASIS information and
services are delivered in formats that
best suit diverse member needs. Readers
with their own ideas are invited to con-
tact us at asisfuture@asisonline.org. If

One of the only laboratories of
its kind within the U.S. higher edu-

out to nine outstanding high school
students from Charles Herbert
Flowers High School in Springdale,
Maryland, who assisted with setup
of the lab while also receiving
hands-on training and practice.
Intern Christina Martin-Ebosele,

on Security Awareness Standard
The public and private sectors are
faced with growing physical and
electronic challenges to protect per-
sonal information, business transac-
tions, and critical infrastructure.
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
to promote security awareness from
a holistic perspective.
“The human element is central
to any successful security strategy.
By promoting security awareness
culture, organizations can proac-
tively prevent problems that de-
tract from achieving their business
objectives,” says Dr. Marc H.
Siegel, commissioner, ASIS Global
Standards Initiative. “The pro-

STANDARDS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Community Resilience: Provides guidance
to address the interfaces between individual,
organizational, and community resilience to
enhance public-private partnerships and resil-
ience planning. Using the PDCA model, it ad-
dresses risk and capacity identification, as-
sessment, control, and sharing to better
prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover
from disruptions to help communities and
public-private partnering.
Private Security Officer (PSO) Selec-
tion and Training: This standard provides
generic management requirements for PSO se-
lection and training processes as well as guid-
ance for good practices related to the selection,
training, and use of private security officers.
Security and Resilience in Organiza-
tions and their Supply 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, pre-
pare for, and respond to an undesirable or
disruptive incident; manage and survive the
event; and take actions to ensure an organi-
zation and its supply chain's resilience.
Security Awareness: This standard will
integrate physical, cyber, and information se-
curity into day-to-day business and risk man-
agement 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.

16. A S I S D Y N A M I C S16
Q: How did you wind up working in a
corporate security role?
A: It was a love story. My late
husband was the owner of a very
well known company that special-
ized in fire and safety protection
and he asked me to take care of it
once he passed.
I was pushed to start learning
about standards, codes, and tech-
nical specifications, and once I got
in there I realized the need for se-
curity that we have in our country
and that the role I was stepping
into made a safer world and safer
facilities. I noticed that safety and
security need to work side by side
because sometimes safety does not
come first. We, the people who are
really involved in all the regula-
tions, need to strongly remind all
the security practitioners that we
are on the same team but playing
in different positions. I love what
I do and I hope that one day all
the codes and regulations can be-
come mandatory in my country
as well.
Q: Because you work for a high-profile
company that is viewed as cutting edge,
do you have a particular—or different—
approach to security?
A: I would say my company does.
I work with specialized brands in
fire equipment, but also I have
worked with lots of end users
who are almost never consulted in
the development of new technolo-
gies or capabilities. Working with
huge manufacturing companies
and huge end users has made me
understand that security and
safety needs to be seen mainly as
a life safety commitment. It’s not
security, but a whole gathering of
disciplines that really keeps us
safer.
Q: You have a large regional security
portfolio. How do you handle working
across time zones and cultures?
A: It’s not easy at all, but, again,
when you talk security, no matter
where are you based, we’re always
working on making a safer world.
The biggest obstacle we face is the
lack of standardized regulations in
security and safety matters. For in-
stance, when a Finnish company
wants to open a new factory in my
country, they have their own com-
pany requirements, their country
requirements, and once they get
here, they face national require-
ments, state requirements, and lo-
cal industry requirements that
make the final security program a
real mishmash that fulfills no
global regulations at all. Sometimes
criteria are the most “official” part
of the final security program. That
is why it’s so important to push
into ANSI standards and any other
regulations that can make security
standardized.
Q: Do you see the role of the security
professional changing in the next five to
10 years?
A: I would love to. Security pro-
fessionals who think that they are
only to supervise one single activ-
ity are no longer required. More
than ever, we’re facing problems
due to technological advances and
globalization issues that involve
cultural behaviors, beliefs, and pri-
vacy standards. It’s not the same
to protect and keep everybody safe
from your desk. A new security
professional needs to embrace
technology, share information with
other security professionals, get
deeper into the company and the
facility to experience the effect of
security first hand, be aware of
technical and technological break-
throughs, and have as much infor-
mation as possible to improve secu-
rity protocol.
Q: Is there anything you’d say you
learned the hard way during your career?

in the United States and 1,460 working internationally who were randomly selected for
data collection on required tasks, knowledge, time, and various risk assessments. Rating
scales were designed to measure the frequency of performance, the percentage of time
spent in each domain, and the frequency of use of the knowledge, as well as the potential
harm if the CPP did not possess the knowledge to perform tasks in various domains.

SIS International’s councils
have been busy thus far in
2016 and are formulating
plans for the remainder of the year.
Here is a taste of what they have
accomplished.
Cultural Properties. ASIS Cultural
Properties Council Chair Robert
Carotenuto, CPP, PCI, PSP, and
council members James Clark, CPP,
and Ricardo Sanz Marcos, spoke at
the International Security, Safety,
and Fire Exhibition at IFEMA, Feria
de Madrid, Spain, on February 23.
Along with fellow speaker
Sonsoles Navas Hernández of the
Office of State Museums, they made
a presentation titled “Security’s ROI:
A Cultural Property Example.”
Carotenuto discussed the benefits
of joining ASIS and the Cultural
Properties Council, focusing on the
council’s guidelines and best prac-
tices documents. Clark focused on
risk assessments as outlined in the
ASIS Risk Assessment Standard.
He stressed that much of the ROI
would come
from developing
tiered solutions based on each
property’s risks.
Hernández described the gov-
ernment regulations that she must
adhere to, highlighting a major dif-
ference between museums in Spain
and their counterparts in the United
States. Sanz Marcos gave examples
of how cultural property security
professionals could deploy simple
and cost-effective solutions.
Additionally, in late May, Cul-
tural Property Council members, in
concert with the American Alliance
of Museums Security Committee,
will give several presentations on
museum security at the AAM An-
nual Meeting and Museum Expo
in Washington, D.C.
Loss Prevention. The ASIS Retail
Loss Prevention Council submitted
three proposals for sessions at the
ASIS 62nd Annual Seminar.
The council has also been col-
laborating with Loss Prevention
Laboratories (LPL) Think Tank on
the need for more Retail Loss Pre-
vention Management four-year and
two-year degree programs in uni-
versities. LPL is partnering with
Xavier University, University of
Cincinnati, and Columbus Commu-
nity College to create a curriculum.
School Security. The ASIS
School Safety and Security Council
is collaborating with the Cultural
Properties Council to write a paper

tended the New York City Security
Conference and Expo, where he
publicized the council’s EMPLOYEE
FIRST food defense and awareness
training video and the council
brochure. Clint Fairow gave a talk
on physical security aspects of food
defense for the Central Illinois
Chapter, using a presentation orig-
inated by Gene Snavely.
Young Professionals. The ASIS
Young Professionals (YP) Council is
planning the YP Seminar Experi-
ence and Career Pavilion for ASIS
2016. The council will collaborate
with the Mentoring Security Lead-
ers Committee, Transitions Ad Hoc

ChapterNews
S
ecurity managers know that adding protective measures after
a project is completed is unlikely to be cost-effective or to
result in optimal security.The Switzerland Chapter, fol-
lowing the initiative of Rolf Sigg, undertook preliminary work to
examine Smart City projects in Switzerland with regard to security,
safety, and resilience.
In September 2015, two successful workshops were organized
to gather the input from Swiss and international experts: Ian Ab-
bott, director, security, safeguards, safety, and environment, for the
United Kingdom’s Nuclear Decommissioning Authority;André Duvil-
lard, delegate from the Swiss Security Network; Marc Henauer,
head of the Swiss Operations and Information Centre MELANI;
Roman Lehman, regional manager and crisis communication offi-
cer, Protectas SA;Thomas Romig, chief, airport steering, Geneva
Airport; and Peter Siebert, Smart City project manager, Berlin.
The workshops brought up several important points. For exam-
ple, all public and private entities operating in a city and benefitting
from its infrastructure should be involved, and wider and deeper
implementation of private-public partnership agreements should be
further developed. Communication, trust, and transparency are es-
sential ingredients. Increased complexity and interconnectivity in crit-
ical infrastructure augments security vulnerabilities and threat levels.
Mitigating vulnerabilities is not only a matter of technology but also
depends to a large extent on the human factor and on processes.
Crisis management and business continuity need to be addressed
at the level of a city’s government. Failing this, private entities may
develop their own plans without alignment with other organiza-
tions and public authorities. Risk appetite should be agreed with all
stakeholders, at commercial, political, and individual levels.
While cooperation between private security service providers
and public services is a reality, it is still subject to low acceptance
at political levels.Yet, private-public partnership is essential, as
highlighted by the outcome of a crisis management exercise organ-
ized by the Swiss Security Network. Such partnerships should not
be limited to cooperation between private security providers and
law enforcement agencies, but should extend to many other areas
of a Smart City.

ing Group on Safe, Secure, and Resilient Smart Cities are shown
here, from left: Stéphane Vuille, Luca Tenzi,Arnaud Ducrot, Fabrice
Consenti, Maya Bundt, Pierre Kupferschmid, Christoph Teuber,

paper outlining concrete and practical solutions for safe, secure,
and resilient smart cities.Then, contact will be made with at least
one Swiss city to pilot a real-life implementation.

A: Yes, when my husband passed
away there were lots of people
who said, “His wife took over the
business, but she’s not from the
industry. She’s not even an engi-
neer.” Some customers refused to
work with me. However, I’ve now
been in this industry for more
than 13 years, won the Diamond
Award for Excellence Distributor
of the Year for one of the brands
we represent, and other awards,
so it seems that the studying I’ve
done has been worth a lot.
Q: Do you have any professional aspira-
tions or goals yet to be attained?
A: Yes. I took the Certified Pro-
tection Professional® (CPP) review
course two years ago but have de-
cided to first try for my Physical
Security Professional® certification.
Once I get that, I’ll get my CPP
certification as well.
Also, I want to finish my mas-
ters in business administration and
work toward an executive MBA
(MEDEX) with one of the most
important educational institutions
in my country.
Q: Do you have any advice for women
who are just beginning their careers in the
security world?
A: Never stop asking “Why not?
What if?” And never stop partici-
pating. Never stop asking for more
opportunities for other female col-
leagues. Lots of talent is lost because
we don’t promote other women. N
