IT staff are often seen as the "Bad Guys," naysayers to anything new and exciting, in the quest to protect the organization from security breaches. In this session, four museum IT leaders will show how common struggles in security can be turned around to develop positive partnerships with other departments for pro-active risk management.
Ranging from simple to complex, the issues each museum faces transcends cost and institution size. The presenters work at wildly diverse organizations but face surprisingly similar issues. Among the topics they will address are how federal policy requirements and PCI compliance affect their organizations, finding budget-conscious ways to meet the rules, encouraging safe practices by end users, using IT risk management to assist senior staff in making informed decisions, and educating employees at all levels. Attention will be given to the everyday struggles common to all IT professionals--for example, changing passwords, Bring Your Own Device, and securely managing information in the cloud. The discussion will then open up to a roundtable format for sharing of successes and frustrations, questions, and comments.

Developing Life Safety Plans for Health Care FacilitiesTodd Wyatt
There is no code or standard of practice specifying how to develop a life safety plan (LSP). A thorough and concise LSP provides a "picture" of the facility's design. This "picture" is used to determine if the intended design meets the minimum requirements of the applicable codes, standards, and regulations.
A “good” LSP identifies problems during design instead of construction, makes future inspections easier by starting with a code-compliant building, and provides the necessary documentation to facilitate future facility rehabilitations. A “bad” LSP may require compliance by demolition instead of eraser.
This presentation will focus on (4) major components of life safety design : means of egress components, fire-resistant rated construction, compartmentalization, and occupancy and use classifications.

Integrating fire protection and fire alarm systems with building automation systems (BAS) can offer efficient and cost-effective operation. The design and installation of an integrated system must also be well-planned and coordinated, and the system must be properly maintained over its lifetime. The need for multidisciplinary coordination between the fire protection engineer and the mechanical and electrical engineers during design and construction are of key importance. Design engineers also must involve the building owner and/or operator in establishing (or at least influencing) the design criteria of the building. The owner/operator must understand that the efficiencies gained by integration will pay dividends long into the lifecycle of the building.
Like a BAS, fire protection and alarm systems have also evolved into sophisticated computer-based systems, which offers more opportunities to integrate these systems to develop a more complete building response as part of overall building operations during an emergency event.

Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design (CPTED)
We constantly respond to our environment,
whether we are aware of it or not.
Effective design of our environment helps
us to feel safer and reduces opportunities
for criminal acts to occur.
CPTED, (pronounced sep-ted), is an
initiative that helps us create healthy, safe
communities through well-planned design.
• CPTED is based on the premise that the
design of our environment directly affects
our behavior. It infl uences both the
opportunities for crime to take place and
our fear of crime. This has an important
impact on our quality of life.
• CPTED enhances safety by altering
physical design and encouraging positive
social interaction.
• CPTED offers an alternative to creating
fortress-like communities where we
have to lock ourselves away to feel
safe and also complements police and
security strategies.
How CPTED works
• CPTED promotes design strategies in
planned environments that encourage
safe behavior and reduce the
opportunities for crime to occur through
three inter-related basic principles:
- natural access control
- natural surveillance
- territoriality
• Once you know about CPTED strategies,
you will see the environment in a
different way.
Natural access control
(limits access)
Guides people entering and leaving a
space through the placement of entrances,
exits, fences, landscaping and lighting.
Access control can decrease opportunities
for criminal activity by denying criminals
access to potential targets and creating a
perception of risk for would-be offenders.
Natural surveillance
(increases visibility)
The placement of physical features,
activities and people in a way that
maximizes visibility. A potential criminal
is less likely to attempt a crime if he or she
is at risk of being observed. Avoid
landscaping that creates “blind s.

Security Surveys and the Audit
Lawrence J. Fennelly, CPO, CSS, HLC III
A security survey is a critical on-site examination and analysis of a place, which may be an industrial
plant, business, home, or public or private institution to ascertain the present security status, identify
deficiencies or excesses, determine the protection needed, and make recommendations to improve the
overall security. Your survey or audit must include the external and internal complex, as well as the
identification of threats, identify controls, level of risk and your completed risk assessment, which
should include risk analysis, risk identification, and risk evaluation.
It is interesting to note that a definition of as outlined by the British Home Officecrime prevention
Crime Prevention Program—“the anticipation, recognition and appraisal of a crime risk and the
initiation of action to remove or reduce it”—could, in fact, be an excellent description of a security
survey. The only difference, of course, is that a survey generally does not become the “action” as such
but rather a basis for recommendations for action.
This definition can be divided into five components and analyzed so that its implications can be
applied to the development of a working foundation for the security surveyor:
1. How does the anticipation of a crime risk become important to the security or crimeAnticipation.
prevention surveyor? Obviously, a primary objective of a survey is the anticipation or prevention
aspects of a given situation—the pre- or before concept. Thus, an individual who keeps anticipation

other words, the anticipatory stage could be considered a prognosis of further action.
2. What does an individual need to conduct a survey of the relationships betweenRecognition.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. What is Crime Prevention?
It is the anticipation, recognition and appraisal
of a crime risk (or risks) and the initiation of
some action to remove or reduce it.
4. CPTED
CPTED* is Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design.
It is a theory that says that law enforcement
officers, architects, city planners, landscape
and interior designers, and resident volunteers
can create a climate of safety in a community
right from the start.
Strategies rely upon the ability to influence
offender decisions that precede criminal acts.
* Ray C. Jeffery. (1971), a criminologist from Florida State University
5. The Benefits
Improved sense of security and quality of life
through reduced fear of crime
Fewer crimes committed in neighborhoods,
fewer victimizations of residents
Safer business locations that are more
attractive to customers and employees
6. The Three Key CPTED Principles
Natural Surveillance
Natural Access Control
Natural Territorial Reinforcement
7. Natural Surveillance
Increases the threat of apprehension by taking steps
to increase the perception that people can be seen.
Occurs by designing the placement of physical
features, activities and people in such a way as to
maximize visibility and foster positive social
interaction among legitimate users of private and
public space.
Potential offenders feel increased scrutiny and
limitations on their escape routes.
8. Examples of Natural Surveillance
Leave window shades open during the day
See that plantation is no higher than any
window sill
See that tree limbs hang no lower than 6 feet
from the ground
Keep tree limbs from second floor access
Use the shortest, least sight-limiting fence
possible
9. More Examples of Natural Surveillance
Make sure that the area is well lit at night
Use motion detectors and photocell control on
all exterior lights
Natural surveillance measures can be
complemented by mechanical and
organizational measures. For example, CCTV
cameras can be added in areas where window
surveillance is unavailable.
11. Natural Access Control
Natural access control limits the opportunity
for crime by taking steps to clearly
differentiate between public space and private
space.
By selectively placing entrances and exits,
fencing, lighting and landscape to limit access
or control flow, natural access control occurs.
12. Examples of Natural Access Control
Use a single, clearly identifiable, point of
entry.
In businesses, use structures to divert persons
to reception areas.
Use low, thorny bushes beneath ground level
windows.
Use a locking gate between front and
backyards.
13. More Examples of Natural Access Control
In the front yard, use waist-level, picket-type
fencing along residential property lines to
control access, encourage surveillance.
Use substantial, high, closed fencing (for
example, masonry) between a backyard and a
public alley.
15. Natural Territorial Reinforcement
Promotes social control through increased
definition of space.
To clearly delineate private space does two
things – a) it creates a sense of ownership
which challenges intruders and b) the sense of
owned space creates an environment where
strangers or intruders stand out and are more
easily identified.
16. Natural Territorial Reinforcement
By using buildings, fences, pavement, signs,
lighting and landscape to express ownership
and define public, semi-public and private
space, natural territorial reinforcement occurs.
17. Examples
Maintained premises and landscaping such
that it communicates an alert and active
presence occupying the space.
Plant trees! Spaces with more trees are seen as
significantly more attractive, more safe – but
sure tree limbs hang no lower than 6 feet from
the ground.
Display security system signage at access
points.
18. Examples
Placing amenities such as seating or
refreshments in common areas in a
commercial or institutional setting helps to
attract larger numbers of desired users.
Territorial reinforcement measures make the
normal user feel safe and make the potential
offender aware of a substantial risk of
apprehension or scrutiny.
20. CPTED Enhanced
Activity Support – which increases the use of
a built environment for safe activities with the
intent of increasing the risk of detection of
criminal and undesirable activities.
Maintenance – is an expression of ownership
of property. Deterioration indicates less
control by the intended users of a site and
indicates a greater tolerance of disorder.
21. Activity Support
Organizing inclusive neighborhood events on
community property or your own property.
Providing benches, picnic tables, and working water
fountains in neighborhood parks.
Scheduling athletic events at nearby public school
facilities.
Holding outdoor gatherings on hot summer nights.
Accommodating bicycles, joggers, and fitness
walkers.
Providing community dog exercise areas.
22. Maintenance
Maintaining lawns, planting flowers and
trimming shows pride of ownership.
Change bulbs immediately when they burn
out.
Do not keep inoperable vehicles on the
property (store them in a garage).
Replace broken windows & maintain painted
surfaces on buildings.
23. The 3 Ds of Assessment
Designation – what is the space used for and
how well does it currently support its use?
Definition – how is the space currently
defined and where are the borders? Is it clear
who owns the space? Are there signs?
Design – does the current design support
desirable behavior? What can be improved?
24. Target Hardening
Means of reducing the opportunity for the
criminal to commit a crime by tightening
security of potential crime targets.
For example, a convenience store displays
large ads in their windows. The windows
should be targeted by removing the ads to
improve visibility to those inside and out.
25. Exterior Lighting
Lighting should be taken into serious
consideration. Many forms of lighting do not
produce ample coverage of areas to insure
proper visibility.
For example, standard incandescent bulbs
provide poor lighting, however, metal halide
provide the best.
28. Fencing and Walls
The use of fences and walls defines territory
and separates public areas from private areas.
Using the correct types and heights enhances
their capabilities and purpose.
31. The Security Survey
The Security Survey is a comprehensive
appraisal and study of the property. Typically
a checklist is used to note specifics.
Once completed, the data is considered and a
recommendation report is compiled and
issued to the customer.
Quality CCTV Systems is the only electronic
security provider in the area that conducts
such surveys.
32. Recommendation Report
The report consists of recommendations. No
compliance is required but strongly suggested.
A recommendation followed in a report does
not guarantee that your property will be 100%
immune to criminal activity.
The survey and report can be very effective
tools to use to uncover security weaknesses.
33. Recommendation Report
The report typically includes suggestions
which we have already discussed with
CPTED.
Now that the outer perimeter has been
addressed, the second part of the equation
deals with the interior of the building.
34. Security Design
It is ideal that every opening to a building –
doors and windows – should have 3 methods
of protection (2 at the very minimum).
1) Physical – locks (primary)
2) Electronic – contacts (secondary)
3) Electronic – a motion detector or motion
and a glass break detector (secondary)
35. Electronic Security Systems
Their function is to detect intrusion, manage
access control and allow for surveillance.
The system senses, decides and then acts. For
example, someone breaks a window in a
bedroom. The system senses the breakage
with a glass break detector. Then the alarm
“brains” decides to act on the info by
sounding an alarm and calling the station.
36. CCTV Systems
CCTV systems compliment burglar alarm
systems.
Typically they include cameras that can see in
very low light and a DVR that will record the
activity.
You might receive an intrusion alarm on the
back door. By viewing the camera or
recording, you can confirm an intruder is
present.
37. Access Control
In a business environment, a door could have
an access control keypad or card reader which
will allow or deny access. No traditional key
is required.
38.
39.
40. National Crime Statistics
A Burglary occurs every 10 seconds - homes
lacking alarm systems are 3 times more likely
to be infiltrated.
A Robbery occurs every 60 seconds
A Rape occurs every 2 minutes
A Homicide occurs every 25 seconds
FACT: The number of home break-ins
always rise during the summer months
42. What Are Your Chances?
Your chances of becoming a victim of a violent
crime in Midlothian, Virginia is 1 in 1,461. As a
victim of a property crime – 1 in 207.
Your chances of becoming a victim of a violent
crime in Glen Allen, Virginia is 1 in 508. As a
victim of a property crime – 1 in 37.
Your chances of becoming a victim of a violent
crime in Richmond, Virginia is 1 in 72. As a victim
of a property crime – 1 in 14.
43. So What Can I Do?
Get Educated – but recognize the fact that no
one is immune to crime
Shift Your Knowledge from “Unaware” to
“Aware” – get a Security Survey completed
on your home or business.
Shift Your Defenses from “Unprotected” to
“Protected” – by having a Security System
installed.
44. Proper Credentials
Make sure that the company you select is
properly licensed by the Department of
Criminal Justice Services (DCJS)
Installers and Consultants must also be
officially registered by DCJS
Ask to see their credentials – they are required
by law to carry and present them
