Security programs need to be dynamic and adaptive to changes in the business to prevent attackers from learning patterns. They consist of procedures to establish desired behaviors, physical countermeasures like gates and fences to delay incidents, and security personnel to analyze situations and make decisions. An effective security program has overlapping layers of procedures, physical barriers, personnel, and technologies like video surveillance and access control systems.

3. Ideal Security is dynamic!
• Changes as your business changes
• Constantly “aware” of the moving parts of
your business and customers
• Flexible and adaptive – never setting a
pattern that can be ‘learned’ by attackers
• Requires ‘moving’ parts that can be
adjusted as risks vary

4. Parts of Security
• Procedures
– Establishes desired behavior (standards)
– Provides means to a desired end
(litigation requires evidence)
– Are ineffective without proper
enforcement and consequences
– Are inconvenient

5. Parts of Security
• Physical countermeasures
– Deterrent to attackers
• Gates, walls, burms, turnstiles,
checkpoints, fences, etc.
– Countermeasures are intended to delay an
incident to the point where and
appropriate response can be implemented
– Provides evidence for litigation
• Alarms, Closed-Circuit cameras, checkpoints,
access control systems, etc.
– If it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen!

6. Parts of Security
• People – security personnel
– Post people (guards) at points where
a decision is required
• Only people can “analyze” a situation
and determine the best course of
action for a desired outcome
– People require appropriate ‘tools’ to
be effective
