Three thingsto look for
when you’reupdating
your uniformprogram.
Celebrating over 20 years!
Quality Uniform & Equipment Solutions.Guaranteed.
Here are a few key points from a White Paper on the subject. Contact me for the whole Paper.
I’m Dan Mendelson. President of Unitex Direct, a uniformcompany I started over 20 yearsago. Our goal since we began has been to help our customerssolve their uniform problems. From parkas to polos.
We have everything a security guard company needs,at every price level, from high quality manufacturers.All with competitive prices and on-time delivery.The Unitex Direct Guarantee. If anything you buy from us does not meet your standard,we’ll replace it. That’s a promise.
Please contact me:[email protected] or 800-682-1606 x226 or visit us at: www.unitexdirect.com
Updating your uniform program.Performance-enhancing uniforms and equipmenthelp define the wearer’s role instantaneously. Theyprovide comfort and durability and are availabletoday at all price points. Some things to look for:1.High visibility guards and security personnel needto convey power on sight, allow freedom of move-ment, maneuverability.
2.High quality fabrics with modern stain resistanceand easy care properties add years to durabilityand longevity. Some of today’s shirts can wickaway moisture, provide protection from harmful UV rays and even defend against harmful bacteria.
3.Security personnel bend, lift and engage in repetitive movements that impact on the body.Many of today’s superior uniforms provide the freedom and mobility necessary to accommodategrueling demands, comfort and durability.
Naturally there are bargain basement uniforms available. You get what you pay for. Lesser quality means poorer construction. If you don’t evaluateyour total cost of ownership you will be buyingcheaper uniforms more often.

Welcome tothe 2016 Secu-rity DirectorMagazine andthe entire 2016
ASIS NYC Security Conference andTrade Show run in conjunction withASIS International. It’s two intensedays where you can hang out withseveral thousand of your closestfriends and allies…
The theme for 2016: is a “21st Cen-tury ‘Reality Check’ and seemed ontarget, now that we are 15-plusyears into this century. It definitelygot ideas flowing. There are a cou-ple dozen perspectives in materialon the following pages. The themeresonated and I thank you all for theinput.
Most of us can remember this par-ticular decade and a half vividly,and for more reasons than 9/11.Younger security professionals maynot have even joined this industrywhen the ball dropped in TimesSquare beginning Century 21. Forothers, the transition from publicservice careers to the private sectorwas still in the distance.
Most of us have learned a fewthings worth sharing. Check out“Old Dogs Learn New Tricks” andanother dozen- plus articles thatgive snapshots you can put to useright now.
In keeping with my concern tonever bore you, the material in thisissue is tightly edited. However, ifyou want to explore the topics ingreater depth, use the contact info atthe end of each article. Follow up!
While I write this to you, I considerthat you are sitting across the deskwith me and that over all theseyears we’ve kept a good dialoggoing. Certainly in the last fifteenyears I’ve heard from more of you,from more parts of the globe, than Icould have anticipated.
Social media, a very 21st Centuryexplosion -and not my greatstrength, has provided opportunitiesto keep in touch with people whowould have faded out of focus withlast century’s technology. Is thisgood? I don’t know –but it is inter-esting.
Picture an old CRT monitor withthat black/yellow screen. It connect-ed one of my college professors withother academics across the countryand in other continents. It was aslow, deliberate system….
This morning, I opened Gmail andcontinue to be amazed at how muchof 65GS of storage has been con-sumed with communication back-and-forth. Some, almost simultane-ous “conversations” about real-world issues. A few need split-sec-ond decisions.
If this 2016 Show inspires you toshare ideas, elaborate on somethingyou hear or see – then there aremore chances to get published. Withthree additional e-magazines com-ing from Security Directions thisyear –just write away and send thearticles to me!
My thanks to everyone who hascontributed to making this 2016Show a success and to those of youwho take the time to attend.
As many of you know, I rejoined mylocal volunteer fire departmentwhere fire safety and fire preventionare my overriding focus. However,as a member of the Fire Police, I’vedeveloped a greater appreciation forhow difficult traffic control can be inemergencies and after crashes. Ifyou are on the road more as warmweather approaches: think safety.You make the difference.
Although I’ve said it before, you arethe essential core that keeps thisindustry interesting and what keepsme engaged and paying attention.So, pick up a pen, or at least a key-board or smartphone and sendthose emails to:[email protected]
Sincerely,
Erica

Welcome to this 26th Annual Security Conference and TradeShow from the ASIS InternationalNYC Chapter, in conjunction withASIS Headquarters.
Each year this event gives us anopportunity to spend some timewith colleagues from significantdistances away – people we maynot get to see at other times duringthe year. This Show is a concen-trated environment where thelatest products and services are allarrayed for us in the Exhibit Hall.Experts from all corners of thesecurity industry are on-hand toanswer questions and provide thelatest information. The event itselfalso gives us a chance to attendsome cutting-edge seminars andeducational programs – literally inour backyard and geared towardhelping us succeed in our work.This year’s educational sessions
were selected by you – the practi-tioner – through a formal surveyprocess where over 1,000 securityprofessionals provided informationon their greatest challenges, needsand topics of interest.
Our theme this year: 21st CenturyReality Check – gives all of us anopportunity to reflect on some ofthe changes, challenges and newissues that have come about in thelast 15 years – and are continuingthis year… and may portend whatwill come in the next decade.
If 9/11 was the eye-opener, what arethe indicators for the next paradigmshift? How has connectivity changedsecurity management during thelast decade and a half? Are ourexpectations for integrating securityinto the fabric of organizationslikely to be met?
For many attending this 2016
event, if we go back to the turn ofthis century, they were not evenworking in security – many werestill in school or in a first career.Younger security practitionersbring a whole new dynamic intothis industry. How are we integrat-ing their perspectives so we areready to take on the challenges wehaven’t even considered yet? Weinvite you to explore these issuesand challenges by speaking to allof the industry leaders and attend-ing the educational sessions to getfirst-hand knowledge of thoughtleaders that are constantly inno-vating and shaping the future ofour industry.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR
C H A P T E R L E A D E R S H I P
Lynn BrownCraig Schwab

Person of the Year
Jeh C. Johnson is the ASIS Inter-national NYC Chapter Person ofthe Year and we recognize himfor his work right now and forall the public service he has performed previouslyand his achievements in the private sector.
Jeh C. Johnson is our fourth Department ofHomeland Security Secretary. He was born in NewYork and grew up in Wappinger Falls. Accordingto his biography, Johnson's first name is takenfrom a Liberian chief, who reportedly saved hisgrandfather’s life while he was on a League ofNations mission to Liberia in 1930.
Jeh Johnson was sworn in as DHS Secretary onDecember 23, 2013. The Washington Post reported“Johnson, an African-American, would bring further racial diversity to Obama’s Cabinet."
Johnson is a graduate of Columbia Law Schooland began as an associate at the New York lawfirm: Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & GarrisonLLP, in November of 1984. In 1989 he left to serveas an assistant United States Attorney in theSouthern District of New York, a position he helduntil the end of 1991. He has also served as afederal prosecutor and as the senior legal advisorin the US Air Force
Johnson returned to Paul, Weiss, after his fouryears as General Counsel to the Defense Department.He was the first African American elected partnerin the firm.
Many remember Johnson’s recommendation, in coordinationwith Army General Carter Hamm,that the military’s policy of:
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, be repealed.
Earlier this year January 4, Jeh C. Johnson, UnitedStates Secretary of the Department of HomelandSecurity, commented on DHS’s initiatives to curtailthe continuing flow of non-US citizens across oursouthern border with Mexico:
“… through the Southern Border and ApproachesCampaign Plan we launched in early 2015, we arefor the first time putting to use in a combined andstrategic way the assets and personnel of CBP,ICE, Citizenship and Immigration Services, andthe Coast Guard to better protect the border.” …..
“I know there are many who loudly condemnour enforcement efforts as far too harsh; whilethere will be others who say these actions don’tgo far enough. I also recognize the reality of thepain that deportations do in fact cause. But, wemust enforce the law consistent with our priorities.At all times, we endeavor to do this consistentwith American values, and basic principles ofdecency, fairness, and humanity.”
The ability of Secretary Johnson to present theabove information in a cogent and thoughtfulway reflects the skill and intelligence he brings toone of the most difficult jobs in the United States.
JEH C. JOHNSON Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security

Person of the Year
In March, Secretary Johnson blogged about technology and its impact on young people aswell as the work of DHS:
“I wholeheartedly agree with the President whenhe said in a recent interview with Popular Sciencethat, “when young people are excited about sci-ence, technology, engineering, and math, that’snot just good for them. That’s good for America.”
“I see on a daily basis how important STEM is to our nation as the head of the research and development arm of DHS. We create technological capabilities for DHS componentsand first responders, like a 3-D printed robot tobe assembled on site, allowing bomb squads toassess threats with minimal risk to others. Ourworld is ever-changing, and it wasn’t that longago that a single computer could fill a room andwas only operated by highly-trained scientists.Today, grade-school children use smart phones …that can do the work of ten of those room-sizedcomputers.”
And, lest we forget –there was a crucial test thisFebruary, while millions viewed “Super Bowl 50”on large screen TV; millions were in the game’svicinity even if they were not all in the Stadium.
The DHS, under Secretary Johnson’s direction, after he made a personal visit to San Francisco tocoordinate with local law enforcement prior to thegame, helped ensure that everyone remained safeand the event was incident-free. Johnson noted:
“…dozens of components within the Departmentof Homeland Security (DHS) – both seen andunseen – proudly worked to make sure that SuperBowl 50 was a safe and enjoyable experience forplayers, employees, and fans alike….”
“From the stadium and well beyond, DHS components – including TSA, CBP, ICE, CoastGuard, the Secret Service, FEMA, our Office ofIntelligence and Analysis, and our National Protection and Programs Directorate – contributedto the security of more than 15 million fans and visitors.”
If you want to drive home the “See Something SaySomething” message, there is no better ambassadorfor the job than NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt, Jr.And, under Johnson’s tenure this particular publicservice message has become an effective reality.
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, under presi-dents George W. Bush and Obama, said that John-son "proved to be the finest lawyer I ever workedwith in government—a straightforward, plain-speaking man of great integrity, with commonsense to burn and a good sense of humor" andthat he "trusted and respected him like no otherlawyer I had ever worked with."
We are pleased and honored that Jeh C. Johnson,United States Secretary of the Department ofHomeland Security is accepting our award asASIS NYC Person of the Year.

The Eugene J. Casey CPP Award
Susan Melnicove, VP, Education at ASIS International
and Her Team
Back, earlier in this decade there were some significantchanges that brought together ASIS International andthe ASIS International NYC Chapter – We teamed upto expand and enhance the annual security conferenceand trade show that ASIS NYC Chapter has been presenting for 26 years running.
The change, with the unique and important involve-ment of Susan Melnicove, VP, Education at ASISInternational and her team, has meant significantimprovements for every attendee and every vendor.
We have a changed format that has become morevaluable to security and business professionalsthroughout the eastern segment of the USA – fromMaine to Florida and reaching ASIS members fromEurope, the Netherlands, and South America.
Until the partnership came together, the entire NYC event was put together and run by volunteers,contributing time and energy to do all the supportwork that goes into a large-scale event that is attendedby thousands. With ASIS International’s involvement,it became possible for us to have a two-day show,filled with programs and social events that continueto be the highlight of security conferences occurringin the spring.
With the benefits that ASIS International’s paid professionals brought to the table, the ASIS NYCChapter members could focus on developing a widervariety of educational seminars and the evening special events that complement the programsbrought by ASIS International.
Susan’s team handles much of the administrative andcoordination work that takes time and saps energy.Even registration has become an effortless processsince ASIS International brought EPIC registrationservices on board.
In the book Organizational Resilience, Mark Siegelrecognizes Susan’s contributions (along with others)stating: “…truly the engine that drives the ASIS International standards program…“
This year we recognize Susan Melnicove, VP Education at ASIS International and her teamincluding Kay Burgess, Director of Education, ShannonBurch, Ellen Bonanno, Tanya Kirchner CMP, and all the others who put in tireless effort for the AprilShow. They are the recipients of the 2016 Gene CaseyAward, a special award named in honor of one of oursignificant founding ASIS NYC members.
Our thanks to the 2016 winning team!

CAPTURING SUBJECT-MATTER
EXPERT KNOWLEDGETHAT’S DIFFICULTTO REPLACE ORREPLICATEBy Timothy A. McIntyre,USN CPO Ret., MHS, CEM,CHS III
It’s the retirement party! We raisea toast to several colleagues andwish them well in their future, lessstressful lives.
The next day we come to work.We need some specialized back-ground material with which theretired guys are familiar. It’s quick-ly apparent that we’re missingsomething: knowledge and experi-ence that may take us years to re-gather. Sure, we have all their files,both digital and physical – but theexpertise and skills they devel-oped in their specific areas; that’sgone to the golf course with them!
I’ve considered this issue over theyears, because it has happenedmore than once. A potential solution might be specializedinterviews (voluntary) with work-force members who are nearingretirement-eligibility or departingemployment. The focus canrevolve around their approach toassigned duties, abilities and jobskills they’ve had to develop…What were the challenges theyencountered… is there specificadvice or philosophy they applied?Add in shared experiences and success/not-so successful stories.
Capturing and retaining thisknowledge and making it availableto our constituents can help us
right away when we need it andlater as background for futuresituations. Although I am consid-ering this from a governmentsecurity perspective, it’s probablyequally – if not more valuable in the private sector – althoughharder to institute.
If the information is disseminatedacross various departments it canmean we are not reinventing thewheel. It may be reference/guidanceas we tackle even very differentproblems, avoiding pitfalls thatmay show up over and over. If wehave secured websites, encryptionthat is sophisticated and has man-agement buy-in, we can develop a data center that integrates andexpands the organization’s culture,captures knowledge and informsfuture operations.
Another option: (1) One-On-OneMentoring; so before subject-mat-ter experts (SME) depart,they share the thoughtprocesses behind their deci-sion-making. (2) GroupMentoring, mirroring One-On-One, with the addedbenefit of sharing keyknowledge with multipleindividuals at the same time.
Net results of this approach:a standard processes forcapturing, validating andintegrating a wealth of experience that can improvereadiness, capabilities, andperformance. The knowledgedoesn’t disappear anymore…
New crises will identify new vulnerabilities – but some lessonsbecome common knowledge andcan inform our plans going forward,because there will always be anext time!

ACTIVE SHOOTER2.0 — BEYONDRUN, HIDE, FIGHTBy Steve Crimando, MA,BCETS, CHS-V
Let’s consider this as ActiveShooter 2.0: the likelihood thatthe future holds additionalattacks on civilians, not just by“lone wolves”, but through multiple, simultaneous attackssuch as we’ve seen in France andthe Middle East. This century’sbetter communication devices,better protective gear, and betterweapons provide a more devas-tating approach to terror. Themore involved attacks even
have a name: Hybrid TargetedViolence (HTV). Here are some characteristics:
• Well-trained, tactically-competent,and willing-to-die perpetrators
• Multiple operators (attackers)working in small tactical units
• Effectively communicating andcoordinating both internally andexternally• Purposefully luring

first responders to cause evenmore carnage
• Using fire to complicate first-responder operations and causefurther damage
• Using chemical, biological orradiological agents, high poweredmilitary-type weapons/explosives,and suicide bomb vests, etc.
In all active shooter responsetraining, we hear about “responsegap”: the time between the firstshot and police/EMS arrival. Initially, police do not stop toassist the hurt and wounded.EMS may not be able to enter the“warm zone” until it is safe. Andthose who are wounded on theground, if unattended can bleedout in as little as three minutes.
On average it takes approximately7 to 15 minutes for first respondersto arrive on scene. In a multiple,sequenced series of attacks in adjacent areas, first responderswill be stretched thin at best. Addto that, it often takes longer formedically-trained personnel tosafely enter and start treatingpatients. Given this harsh reality,some communities and organiza-tions have begun to train andequip citizens in bleeding control,also referred to as “B-CON.”
Regular citizens become membersof a “Rescue Task Force”. If theyare already inside an incidentspace, they can make a critical difference with the right knowl-edge and equipment.
The DHS recently started the“Stop the Bleed” campaign as anational initiative to assist profes-sional emergency responders andreduce the number of casualties in violent events. Schools andbusinesses have begun preposi-tioning B-CON supplies in “throwkits” designed to provide quick,easy access to essential bleeding
control medical equipment.Bystanders are already ‘first on the scene’. Leveraging this humanresource saves lives and reducesphysical and psychological trauma.
Will we be looking at ActiveShooter 2.0 and beyond in thenext decades? Probably. But, withattention and planning, perhapswe can minimize some calamity.

DOES YOURINVESTIGATIVESTRATEGY ALSOINCORPORATE A VIOLENCE RISKASSESSMENT?By Chuck Tobin
The security investigations teamfinds someone within the organi-zation who has embezzled or committed acts of sexual harass-ment or worse. Now the person is subject to termination, if notprosecution.
Traditionally, investigators providetheir detailed findings. The qualityand quantity of their evidence is what substantiates actionsemployers deem necessary.
The messier part is: “how will thissubject respond to what he/sheperceives as consequential ‘negative’actions by the employer?” or “doesthis individual have the propensityfor violence and might terminationor other discipline trigger unwantedbehavior, either immediately or
after being confronted about theproblematic behavior?”
While threat assessment and man-agement strategies are applied in
many potentially hostile or violenttermination situations, are wemissing other life changingevents? Shall we also collect andassess information that goesbeyond the current workplace situation? It has to be on-hand and evaluated before terminationbecause it may alter how the matteris handled. And, there are manyexamples where an employee wasterminated for causes other thanviolence, yet the person committedviolence as a result of the employer’saction. [Consider last year’s Con-necticut shootings at a workplacewhere an employee who was terminated for theft, then returneda short time later and killed thebosses and other management personnel while they all sat at a meeting.]
Whether it is factual or not isbesides the question – their truth,for the problematic [former]employees – their perception willformulate their decisions. If their‘truth’ is influenced by drugs, past
There are manyexamples wherean employee wasterminated forcauses other thanviolence, yet theperson committedviolence as aresult of theemployer’s action.

life experiences, environmentalfactors or other stressors, we cannotdiscount their version of ‘reality’.
If they are no longer operatingunder the job’s constraints – orwithout a perceived connection tothe company but still have all theother stressors, the situation maybe sufficient for committing violence directed back at theworkplace, its management orat co-workers.
Consider bringing in psychologistsand threat assessment investigatorsand others to go beyond the originalinvestigation and work with thecompany’s HR and legal team.The goal: to effectively move theseindividuals to a position where riskto the organization is mitigated. Aquick introduction to collaborativeapproaches is outlined in an ASISpaper from 2011 called a WorkplaceViolence Standard.
We rely on investigative skills toidentify problematic employeesand then call upon these additionalresources for ‘full-view’ assessmentsand for developing true mitigationstrategies.

DIGITALLYTHINKING By Tom Vogel, PSP
Ask one of us old-timers who, priorto the introduction of DVRs,searched time-lapsed VHS tapes forincident information… It was timeconsuming… frustrating… but atleast there was the video…
In many instances, integratingaccess control, intrusion alarms andvideo systems have resulted in aforce multiplier. We’ve increasedsituational awareness,
reduced response times and speed-ed up investigations.
At this point, I doubt securitydepartment execs hire vendorsindependent of consulting with theorganization’s IT leadership. Andeven with that integration, databreaches and cyber-attacks havebecome common news topics – andthe subject gets some coverage inother articles in this magazine.
In the first few years of this newcentury, we heard much talk aboutconvergence, integration andautomation. They were buzz-words for sales and market-ing people. Both the manufacturersand value-added resellers pitchedthe terms indiscriminately. Butproducts didn’t always live up to hype.
Once the technology became solidand costs came down – there werestill disappointments. But this timethey were more likely due toimproperly deploying or applyingthe technology. What we came torealize in traditional security wasthat we had to start asking our ITdepartment experts to assist us up front. It’s required us to moreclearly delineate exactly what weare trying to accomplish and why.Net result: less disappointments,fewer technical problems and a major cut in unnecessary expenditures.
If the new catchphrase for this cen-tury is ‘cooperation’ then when IT and Security departmentsunderstand each other and trulycooperate, the entire organizationbenefits.

CAN YOU CREATEENOUGH FEARAND INTIMIDATION TO DETER FRAUD?By Edward R Smith, CFE, LPD
Fraud is not ever going away. But sometimes, it is possible tocreate an environment where someemployees fear the consequencesenough, that you create a frauddeterrent.
Employers use versions of increas-ing fear of consequences now:employment applications say falseor fraudulent information willlead to immediate termination.There may be a code of ethics thateveryone signs before beginningemployment. Some organizationsactually have anti-fraud trainingprograms. Today, these approachesmay still be effective with older
employees or anyone not savvyabout manipulating IT systemsand records management.
We created fear and were intimi-dating in a presentation I deliveredas the director of security andfraud investigations for a large

financial institution. To be realistic,the difficulty many institutionsface in deterring thefts and misdeeds is that leadership isinvolved in dealings that also get into grey areas. Look at thefinancial crisis in 2008 and 2009 for confirmation.
In the case here, I had a meetingwith the bank’s president regardinga branch officer who abscondedwith a customer’s money. The officer systematically withdrewfunds from a 90-year-old disabledlady’s account. We traced themissing funds, got a confession,recovered the funds, and thebranch manager lost his job andwent to jail.
Subsequently, the bank’s presidentsaid: “I will gather the 375 branchofficers. I want you to re-trainthem about what will happen ifthey are caught stealing. I want youto take off the gloves and hit them[with words] as hard as you can”.
I did all of the talking in the classand it was short. I explained whatembezzlement was and in a firmand authoritative voice, I toldthem what would happen ifemployees were caught participat-ing in such crimes:
• You Will Lose Your Job
• You Will Be Arrested
• You Will Be Convicted
• You Will Go To Jail
• You Will Pay Large Fines
• You Will Have To MakeRestitution
• You Can Never Be Bonded
• You Will Have A Hard TimeFinding A Good Job
I went on: “It doesn’t matter whatrank you hold in the bank, you aregoing to suffer the consequences –comparing our department to “a
dog with a bone – we never let go until we finish.” For the next several years there were noembezzlement incidents.
Consider taking a direct approachwith a basic ABC program to minimize fraud:
• A – Aggressive fraud investigationand employee fraud awarenesstraining
• B – Bring all wrongdoers to justiceand recover losses
• C – Communicate a strongmessage that fraud and unethicalbehaviors are not tolerated
It is an approach that, at least for some employees, might helpcontrol behavior that costs!

MOST LIKELY TOBE ASSAULTED INHEALTHCARE:NURSES —IMPROVINGTHEIR SECURITYBy Phaedra Laird
Ironic that the people who areoften the most devoted to yourcare are also those most likely toface violent situations up-closeand personal. 70-year old EvelynLynch, a long-time nurse at Brook-lyn’s Brookdale Medical Center,was nearly killed after she wasbrutally attacked by one of herpatients.
There were 40 workplace violenceincidents at that Center alone during two-months in 2014. Thenet result: the Center was fined
$78,000 fine for inadequate work-place violence safeguards.
Interestingly, violence in thehealthcare industry is not specific
to big cities. According to anOSHA report from September2013, it is a trend being seen acrossthe country.
Hospitals, nursing homes andother healthcare facilities are notlacking anti-violence policies:[everyone has ‘em on file]. Theissue is implementing them, practicing response and havingpersonnel on hand who can intervene to help endangeredhealthcare workers.
The policies are often well written,just not well executed. “All staffmembers who interact with patientsneed to be aware of warning signsand remediation for escalatingbehavior. Employees need specifictraining so we empower them toreact quickly and effectively. Howdo they recognize and manage fearand arousal; how do they diffuse or mitigate situations asthey present themselves? There are things that need to happenbefore someone is in a potentially dangerous situation.” according toThomas Raftery, a managing part-ner at Falcon Consulting Group.

Before you file your Tax Return, consider this: Your Company may be able to claim a tax credit for hiringcertain employees. It’s worth spending a n extraminute completing a simple form for each new hire,which could earn your agency federal t ax credits. The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federalprogram that allows Security Agencies, and other For-Profit Companies to claim $2,400 or more foreach eligible new hire.
The federal government wishes to see certain peoplegainfully employed, such as veterans, food stamp recipients, unemployed individuals, SSI recipients, orpeople that reside in federal designated Zone areas.Therefore, they are offering Tax Credits to companiesthat offer them employment. You don’t have to changeyour hiring process, since 40% of your New Hires arequalified.
Employers nationwide claim about $1 billion in WOTCTax Credits each year under the program, but in thesecurity guard industry, many are unaware that it evenexists, says Michael Markowitz, VP of TC ServicesUSA, a NY based Tax Credit provider, which specializesin Federal & State employer tax credits. A mid-sizedcompany, that hires 15-20 New Hires a month, couldresult in approximately $100,000.00 in Tax Creditsevery year! And this is for hiring people it would hireanyways, Markowitz says.
How to apply for WOTC:
1. Have your company sign up for utilizing our FreeWOTC Software.
2. Have new employees fill out the tax credit survey,either online, or by filling out the paper form beforethey are actually hired by the agency. The idea of theprogram is to have employers hire those employeeswho qualify for the job, and may also qualify for thecredit, Markowitz says. Therefore, an agency wouldwant to include the paperwork in its stack of applicationdocuments like a background check, he says.
3. TC Services USA gets the submitted applications,does the processing, and submits them with backupdocumentation. Once the employees get certified, theaccounting professionals at TC Services USA willgenerate the tax credits and send the completed IRSforms to your CPA for filing. It’s that easy!
Additional Benefits for 2015:
For a short time, companies can go back to cap-ture new hires from January 1, 2015 and submitthose retroactively. The deadline for submittingthose applications is June 29, 2016. By the timeyour CPA files your 2015 Return, you may be ableto accumulate Tax Credits.
Free 8 Hour Pre-Assignment Training Course: TCServices USA offers its clients Free Vouchers for therequired 8 hour pre-assignment course, which can begiven to potential employees. These vouchers arehonored by participating training schools nationwide.
Go with the professionals:
TC Services USA has A+ Rating by the BBB and hasbeen recommended by CPA firms nationwide.

Having identified the widespreadnature of violence in healthcaresettings, Raftery (800-636-4870)suggested anyone with specificquestions about their current policies/training can contact him,at no charge, to discuss the situation.
ANA CHARLEONLY WANTEDTO HELP PEOPLEBy Harold F. Evans, Jr.
April 27, 2015: Ana Charle wasattacked, shot and killed by an ex-conshelter resident as she ran naked downBullard Avenue. Charle was programmanager at Bronx Boulevard, a men’shomeless shelter run by ProjectRenewal. The accused suspect, WestSpruill, had a rap sheet going back to the beginning of this century thatincluded convictions for attemptedmurder and assault with a dangerousweapon. Ana Charle only wantedto help people.
It was later discovered that before herattack, Charle contacted NYC officialswho ignored her requests for extrasecurity at her shelter, which alsohoused 24 sex offenders. Spruill, whostaffers said had a history of mentalillness, lived at the facility for sevenmonths while community leadersbegged in vain for more muscle at theproblem-plagued shelter.
Ana Charle only wanted to helppeople…
I entered homeless shelter securityin the mid 2000’s in WestchesterCounty. Later, at a shelter I managedin the Bronx, my security officersand the shelter staff were instructedto attempt to diffuse tense andoften dangerous situations withoutphysical force. Only after theirinterventions failed, were they tocall for NYPD response and thenlet NYPD take appropriate action.NYPD response took many minutes.
We were in a remote corner of the precinct.
The shelter [now under otheranother contractor] was designatedas a MICA (mental illness andchemical abuse). When NYPD officers did arrive, perpetratorshad often already fled onto theNYC streets.
As psychiatric hospitals run bystates and cities have mostly disappeared and we do not con-fine extremely mentally ill peoplefor life in public facilities, we alsohave not come up with a reason-able solution that also protects our
fellow citizens. We don’t have astructured system that successfullyaddresses recidivism in the criminaljustice arena either. It is a situationthat will probably boil over in thecoming years.
The shelter system seemed as if it might be an alternative. It gets a great deal of sympathy from the public. However, from myexperience it is not meeting the goal. Most shelters are notdesigned to address the severity of problems that come through the door. Many have become “residences” for severely mentallyill people and ex-cons who continueto engage in violence and crime.
On the morning of Thanksgiving Day2014, Security Officer Franklin* wasat his post, monitoring. A resident at
the shelter, Peter, came down thestairs and stabbed Franklin rightbehind his left eye with a pen. Peterthen left the building running into thecity streets. He was eventually arrested,charged and transferred to anothershelter…
Security Officer Franklin wastreated for the stabbing and didnot lose his eye. However he is farmore cautious around the residents.There are potential lawsuits pendingfrom this attack. There are myriadother examples I could present.
Since Charle’s death, the Commis-sioner of the Department of
Homeless Serviceshas resigned. Buthomelessness continues to increase.Recurring violence in shelters and incommunities nearshelters doesn’t getmuch press coverageanymore. It is a biggerissue than we cansolve as securitypractitioners — but itis critical that we
shine some light on the problembefore it gets further out of hand.
Harold F. Evans, Jr. a formerhomeless shelter security manager,is a member of Southern Connecticut ASIS InternationalChapter.

access control systems with theirefficiencies. But what if traditionalmanual deadbolts (or older stylelocking devices) are part of thecharacter of your facility? What if
changes have to pass the NYCLandmark Commission forapproval?
At an historic building, thisbecomes a challenge. Keys andlocking mechanisms wear outover time. Keys can be cut anewbut the actual cylinders andmoveable parts used in the original doors and other areas,are long out of production. Theitems are hard to find — even asantiques, and costly to reproduce— if at all possible.
Architectural elements are artfrom a specific time period withthe look and feel of that individualera. So now, how do we maintainthe “look” while maintainingfunctionality and security? It canbecome a big headache.
Here are some key — pardon the pun — parts of a pro-activeprogram to meet this particularchallenge:
• Conduct a comprehensive surveyto determine the state of all thefacility’s door locks
• Take inventory of all keys andwho has which keys.
• Take advantage of using a[digital] relational database –
it’s powerful and versatile.
• Research and locatevendors who specialize inhistoric building restoration.
• This work will not becheap, but nothing involvingcultural preservation ischeap. As the securitypractitioner, collect asmuch information aspossible from restorationvendors. Present it to yourfacility’s administrationand curators.
• Get all stakeholders toagree on a budget thatincludes purchase price,
installation and maintenance forparts and equipment.
• Remember all work performedon the facility’s doors has to meetcuratorial approval.
• Any work performed on thefacility’s outside or perimeterdoors has to meet LandmarkCommission’s approval.
• Make a plan on how to completethis work:
• Start with perimeter doors andcontinue with the facility’s innerdoors
• Document key redistribution
• Input information into therelational database and securethe information
In our multidimensional andmultifaceted world a well-func-tioning door with a good lockand key is still an indispensableand integral part of any securityprogram.

HOW ADAPTIVEIS IT?By Mario J. Doyle, CPP
One of our technically-immersedclients asked that question at ourroutine security services review.Generally we’ll get an assessmentof current service; discussupcoming issues at facilities wecover for them; any anticipatedoperational changes in their organization — and how wemight better meet their latestrequirements.
What the CSO was asking wasmore in line with a conversationabout Real-Time Adaptive Security,something that he’d been focusedon for almost a decade. He wenton to explain that as networksbecame more complex and some-times the built-in security systemsmissed vulnerabilities — thepressure was always on himand his IT team.
There is a close fit between howwe provide services and what hewas asking — although it wasn’tapparent at first glance. We neededto learn how to “speak” it in aslightly different language.
In essence, we are providingsecurity at individual points,around perimeters, on patrol,through voice communication,video surveillance monitoring,etc. and delivering summariesand incident reports in real time.We immediately communicateinformation about patterns,unusual events, anything suspi-cious — but there probably arevulnerabilities that are not detected.

The CSO suggested we becomeacquainted with a 2008 SANSWhitepaper by Dave Shacklefordon Real-Time Adaptive Security.The essence of the whitepaper is below. I bring this up, notbecause we have an instant solution, but it has opened a discussion that all of us in securityservices will be addressing.

In today’s dynamic threat and net-working environments, standaloneIntrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) cannot protectagainst ever-changing attacks andvulnerabilities.
Over time, many enterprise networkshave become cluttered with pointsolutions and security controls thatcan only perform a single function.Each of these controls provides onlyone piece of the overall puzzle—apuzzle that is growing larger andmore complex by the day.
This starts with visibility intotoday’s complex networks in whichsystems and applications may beimproperly configured or haveknown vulnerabilities, and usersmight be accessing systems theyshouldn’t even have access to. Previous generations of intrusiondetection and prevention technologyhave looked at attacks as individualevents, without built-in considerationgiven to the surrounding network’sstate at any given time.
Again, it didn’t seem to havebeen in our wheelhouse before,but I discussed it with our teams.One manager noted that he’dheard an administrator at oneclient cursing up a storm whendata he’d stored on a server, “disappeared”.
Now, events related to the organi-zation’s IT systemsand other items, thatmay have seemedincidental, are alsoincluded in our logsand reports. Perhapsjust having the dates,times, and locationscan help the CSO.
I relayed the story in a discussion with
another client. He agreed, sayingthat the actual need is for securityhe contracts to become mission-critical partners in protecting theorganization. Long gone weredays when having a “stop-sign ina uniform” was going to do muchagainst the complex multi-pronged ways that potential lossespresent themselves.
The concept of ‘mission critical’isn’t new, but it is worth talkingabout. Security services providershave a unique view into what isgoing on throughout an organiza-tion, even on perimeter tours. We aren’t acting as ‘tattle tellers’when we include what mightseem trivial or “not our business”in certain communication withcorporate partners.

THE SUBTLETIESOF HOUSE ARRESTSECURITYBy Rodney M. Davis
Occasionally security professionalsreceive contracts to provide long-term services to enforce a judge’sorder when defendants are putunder house arrest (confinement/incarceration). It puts securityfirms – hired and paid for by thedefendants in difficult positions.They provide services in situationswhere they actually inhibit clientsfrom going about normal activitiesbeyond the front doors of theirhomes!
The history of house arrest goesback to Galileo in the 1600s. In the US, starting in the 1980’s, the courts began using it more frequently. Then in the late 20thCentury there was an addition:monitoring defendants via ‘electronic bracelets’. [ThinkMartha Stewart…]
There are essentially three (3)types of house arrest/electronicmonitoring arrangements and themost notable comes with built-inconflict. Security firms supplyarmed security guards to keepindividuals under “house arrest”and control their movementsbased on court orders… but, they are being paid by the very“clients” they keep confined! Ifclients aren’t going to court, theattorney’s office, or the doctor —they aren’t going!
Notable recent cases where housearrest was ordered include NewYork attorney Marc Dreier (2008),Bernie Maddoff (2008), Long Islandbusinessman David Brooks (2008),former IMF head DominiqueStrauss-Kahn (2011) and billionaireDavid Ng (2015).

Moreover, although at the federallevel the U.S. Attorney’s office andthe Office of Probation and PretrialServices is involved in screeningsecurity firms that defendants areconsidering, in the end the securityfirm is not selected or contractedby the government.
In addition to this unusualarrangement, the authority ofprivate guards in such situationsremains ambiguous. In one recentcase (as reported in the N.Y Times)the assistant U.S. Attorney arguedagainst home incarceration forsome of the following reasons: “If the defendant escaped, wouldhe face jailbreak charges? Wouldassaulting a private guard carrythe same penalty as assaulting afederal officer? Are the securityguards consenting to use deadlyforce against the defendant?Would that even be permitted?”
There are several key business disadvantages to this arrangement:
1. Defendants can shop for othersecurity firms while the housearrest is ongoing, if they feel thejudge’s order is not being carriedout to their satisfaction. Defendantscan claim that private guards arenot courteous enough or overzeal-ous in carrying out the orders.We’ve found that this situation canbe mitigated when judges indicatethe name of the security firm inthe “bail release order”. If it’s justa generic reference to a “securityfirm”, then the problem can bloom.
2. If the security firm notifies thejudge that the defendant violatesthe order, the judge may decideto put the defendant back in jail.That results in losing a potentiallylucrative and long-term contract.
When defendants are attemptingto expand the limits of their courtorders, the defendants’ attorneysare in a critical position: remindingdefendants of their limitations
under the order and the securitycontractor’s responsibilities. Italmost creates a bond between thedefense attorneys and the securitycontractors to “protect” the clients.
House Arrest assignments requireunique and delicate management.While security firms don’t want tolose these contracts, at the sametime they don’t want their reputa-tions damaged by receiving repri-mands from judges for failing toreliably carry out conditions of theorders.

INCLUSION — POWERFUL INTHE WORKPLACEOR JUST MOREWORDS?By Jessica Robinson
This century, probably themost inclusive departmentin many companies is the security department!Although we rarely thinkabout it — if you want to see a group with thewidest variety of back-grounds working togethertoward common goals youdon’t have to look fartherthan those providing protection services in mostorganizations.
It doesn’t take Human Resourcespersonnel to make this happen. Itis more an outgrowth of realitiesabout what draws people to secu-rity work in the first place — andthat cuts across national borders,race, gender and cultural differences.
Interestingly, most often the security department is overlookedwhen we speak about “corporateculture”.
We cannot get into everyone’shead to find out if they intend to be an insider threat, when weoperate from inclusion models,workers in an organization can be part of a ‘problem prevention’model. At least it helps everyoneto be aware that isolating any onegroup or person for no other reasonthan their race, gender or culture,will work against everyone’s bestinterests.
In a recently completed two-yearstudy, Google management identi-fied that, with their employees,emotional safety in the workplacewas among the most importantissues. Employees wanted anopportunity to bring their real“selves” to work — psychologicalsafety took the #1 position.
Google discovered that peoplework best when they trust theircoworkers and feel they can takerisks, depend on one another, andall understand the team's goals.
"This research gives a language to the things that I think are notnecessarily rocket science but creates a structure to talk," RoyaSoleimani, a spokeswoman for[Google], told The Huffington Post.
The news comes at a time whenmost major tech companies,

including Google, are strugglingto diversify their worker ranks.And the findings surely will helpthe company create the kind ofwelcoming workplace that notonly can attract more women and minorities (only 30 percent of “Googlers” are female, and 70 percent are white) but help retainthem.
“If you want a diversity of ideasand people, that goes back to psychological safety and clarityand trust,” Soleimani said.
(The above quotes are encapsulatedfrom Emily Peck’s Huffington Postarticle of November 19, 2015)
I’ve worked with corporate clientsto help them think differentlyabout how threat aggressions and micro aggressions might lead to insider threats, assaults, databreaches, or other forms of aggression.
In one instance, employeesexpressed that they did not feelsafe in their workplace. The company was located in a toughneighborhood and as a group,employees could not agree onhow to respond cohesively to theuneasiness that a handful broughtinto the facilities.
My aim was to bring awarenessthat their own actions could helpcreate safer spaces. We focused onhow they create the environmentthey want. The more everyoneparticipated and communicated –the less tension pervaded thesesessions. Does this mean no incidents or concerns for thefuture? No guarantee.
Although this isn’t the first rolemost security professionals identifyas theirs, inclusion can be a part ofcore strategy. Be a champion forleaders creating safe spaces in theworkplace. The conversation andfocus may limit costly negative
behaviors. Then create measuringand accountability tools to quantifyprogress.
Inclusion — something we rarelytalk about in general conversationyet it can be one of the tools thathelps propel us in a 21st Centuryperspective.

MONEY ON THETABLE?By Michael Markowitz
It’s the equivalent of leavingmoney on the table – or that is oneway to look at it: If you focus onhiring military veterans for securitypositions with your company, youmay be eligible to receive federaltax credits. There is a ‘minimumnumber of hours worked’ criteriathat has to be met – for veterans,they must work at least 120 hoursto qualify.
In addition to military veteransthere are 14 additional categoriesfor potential hires among the groupwhere tax credits are available –and some of those may fit intoyour personnel needs. In a numberof cases, not only will there befederal credits for the hires butstate credits as well.
The WOTC tax credits do notreceive much press and over 90%of those we polled in the securityindustry were not even awarethey existed. Here is the WOTCcredit’s great advantage: after allthe brainstorming and accoun-tants’ input on controlling costs isin effect, these tax credits come offthe bottom line, the money youwould normally have to send tothe federal government.
Is there some additional paperwork?Yes, but most of it is managed

SECURITY MANAGEMENT: OLD DOGS ANDNEW TRICKSBy John Farrell
When you have been in the securitybusiness long enough, you start toslide into your comfort zone. Youknow your specific area and canrattle off trade jargon and “security-speak” answering most questions.However, in this ever-changingworld, sometimes you need toexpand your horizons. You need tobecome what I like to call “dangerously knowledgeable” anda bit of a Renaissance Individual(Man is not PC) about areas thatare not really in your wheelhouse,but can affect it.
Like the opening of Law andOrder, Security now operates intwo related but specifically sepa-rate areas. Traditional Securitywith physical staff operating cam-era systems, access control/visitormanagement, foot patrols, etc. isdone much the way we’ve done itsince 9-11. Cybersecurity is all thetechnology and thought-throughapproaches protecting organiza-tions from 21st Century digitalthreats. Whether all-out cyberat-tacks, hacking, information theft,corporate espionage or systemvandalism it is the new battlefieldfor both government and corporateAmerica. Billions of dollars go intoprotecting assets through digitalmeans. But –it’s not always as successful as either traditional or cybersecurity groups wish.

Consider that financial servicefirms and pharmaceutical companieswere always ahead in cyber security.
Protect the money; protect thetrade secrets. Nevertheless, today,with every department in anycompany being attached to theWorld Wide Web, it’s harderto keep information, resources,employers, clients or agencies safe.
The first time I heard the acronymVPN (Virtual Private Network)was more than 15 years ago whenwe were trying to figure out howwe could lower costs by havingour contractor/vendor fix thingsat a distance. And, how do youhave vendors VPN into your net-work? Why… via the internet ofcourse!
Over a decade ago, I got a firsthandview of VPN “vulnerabilities”. Onhacker “competition day” all ofthe building’s visitor managementsystems at my firm shut off simul-taneously. They were compromisedvia an internet connection used for my tech company to provideservices remotely… That waswhen I started to look at how weprotect critical systems. I had tolearn about the “new tricks” ready
or not. And today, there are waysto “lock down” these portals.
More complex than just protectingyour internal systems from outsidecontamination, we also have toprotect our information systemsfrom our own staff. It still hap-pens: an employee imports bugs

and other good things when loading Solitaire oranother game/program. What else was on the USBdevice the college intern plugged in to do homework,etc.? Most firms don’t allow any peripheral “plugin” drives and the Department of Defense hasmodified their equipment to only accept specialconnections or “keyed” drive units.
Does it mean that the next generation of securitydirectors will be coming from the IT world, period,and those with law enforcement, military, andphysical security experience will have little place?Our generation wondered at the Blackberry and its uses. Now children use I-Pads at two and threeyears old. We have to progress with the evolutionof security.
We old dogs –who also rely on technology to assistus in our roles, have to learn these new tricks to be competitive and provide the best protection. So take the courses, read the literature, speak with IT experts, tap into ASIS and other resources. Itmakes us better at what we do and relevant to ourchanging job description. If we do not, like therotary phone and the picture tube TV, we will beplaced on the pile of things at the end of their usefulness. I don’t want that… do you?

WHEN IT COMES TO A UNIFORMED IMAGE, PERHAPS IT’S DÉJÀ VU WITH A TWISTBy Dan Mendelson
Sixteen years into the 21st century, and sometimesit seems we are again considering something thatwas a concern back in the ‘60s: uniforms and publicperception.
Prior, most police and security personnel wore traditional “Class A” uniforms or some modificationthereof. But the gear was not conducive to actuallyconducting the work that either group did on aregular basis. And, for police officers it madeaction moves cumbersome especially when wearingbulletproof vests beneath.
59
Continued on page 61
Enter the more tactical style –bomber jackets, multi-pocketpants, and, often a belt that held at least 15 pounds of gear. Forsecurity personnel, this mademuch more sense if assignmentsincluded patrols, shipping/receiv-ing dock assignments, etc. And,when called upon to give CPR oradminister an AED, officers didn’thave to disrobe before beginningthe life-saving work.
Today, in some financial institutionswe even have security personneldressed more like what we thinkof as ‘military in a war zone’; somesuggest that the look is similar towhat an occupying force wearsrather than trusted protectors orthe people you would walk up toand ask for help.
In my line of work, we supplyuniforms to law enforcement andsecurity organizations. It gives mean overview of what is trending –which is why it seems déjà vu –but with a twist.
On one hand, President Obamaweighed in, convening a task force
last year that suggested, amongother things, police officers wear“soft look” uniforms. At the sametime, the federal government hasbeen supplying tanks and riotgear to police departments in mostmajor metropolitan areas.
Is there a single “right image” thatfosters stronger public trust?Doubtful. Uniform style in privatesecurity goes from a business suitwith dress shirt and tie to stylesthat teeter between causal andaggressive, with various looks inbetween. What is tactical to onesecurity professional may not beto another. To one director tacticalmight be six-pocket cargo pant. Toanother, tactical might mean BDUpants with an outer vest.
At Unitex Direct, demand for tactical wear is on a sharp uptick,with a concern for safety and asafety-focused image. Tactical uniforms may actually be a neces-sity in some environments, even if they are controversial. Securityofficers who are less encumberedby their clothing are better able to respond to threats and othersurprises in the workplace – fromminor earthquakes to active shooters.
For private security officers – we see men and women who are more professional and bettertrained than ever before. A uniformreinforces that professionalism, no matter how it is configured.
For those agencies considering auniform change, there are options.A new consumer-friendly look is emerging; one that blends thestyle of a Class A with the sensibil-ities of a tactical outfit, a so-calledmodified Class A.
What’s the right look for yoursecurity agency? Each type has its place. What I’ve found is thatcompanies are still looking formore function, whether through,fabric, fit or design regardless of
the uniform style. As a uniformprovider, my job is to identify customers’ needs and providesolutions that best fit their uniquesituation.

WHAT’S DIFFERENT NOW:CAMPUS CRIMEAND SAFETY —NOT WHAT YOUWOULD EXPECT…By Robert Donnelly
Back last century, colleges anduniversities began having to pro-duce annual “Cleary Reports” thatquantified the number of criminaland misdemeanor acts occurringon campus. It gave some guidanceto parents and students consideringvarious institutions.
Now, reviewing the data, it seemsthe reports have not given as accu-rate a picture as you might think.

What is ‘on campus’? If incidentsinvolving students occur 2 blocksaway from property controlled bycolleges, say in urban settings, itmay be a community statistic but
not directly a college statistic.
With the huge increase in the costof college education, there doesn’tseem to be a huge increase in stu-dent safety. There are jurisdictionalconflicts between campus safetyand local law enforcement–nothingnew… but not resolved. And thereare more complex issues to be con-sidered including increased gunviolence throughout many areas.Add in drug-related crimes androbberies and students living inhigh-risk areas near campuses andit may not be pretty.
I get to observe these issues since Ilive not far from a major universityin an urban setting. It borders onsome rough, criminally-saturatedneighborhoods.
Ideally, the administration decidesto take over off-campus dormitoryand perimeter security –no matterwhere the buildings are located.However, since that increases theirliability, it remains to beaddressed.
In the 21st Century, it seems archaic that there are no check-points to come on campus; noteven ID checks for monitoringaccess.
The college’s public safety officerspatrol in vehicles over narrowroadways that do not cover theentire campus. Probably addingintense foot patrols 24/7 and
building a student auxiliaryfor the campus safetydepartment would be goodfirst steps.
Simply stated: Studentsneed a hardened shieldagainst criminal oppor-tunists. Four murders bygun in two months demandstepped up action.
The tough work –revamp-ing how campus safetyoperates; recognizing thatthere is increased criminalactivity, and being pro-active
in addressing the risks students face both on and off cam-pus -will take 21st Century man-agement. It will also take somenew ideas to better connect withlocal law enforcement and every-one involved in managing off-campus housing. Will it all hap-pen? Standing by…

THE EMERGINGTHREATS INCYBERCRIMEBy Paul Kubler
Although Advanced PersistentThreats (APTs) have been buzz-words in the past few years, thephrase itself remains an accuratedescription of more advanced and dedicated cyber threats thatorganizations face, even thosewith robust cybersecurity practicein place such as the financial andtechnological sectors.
We literally expect to hear that
many threats come from China,yet they are not the sole threat.Many attacks come from Russiaand the former Eastern Bloc coun-tries, Brazil and to a lesser extentother South and Central Americancountries, and especially the USA.
Home-grown threats are thebiggest attacks by total volume.The reason the other areas areimportant, however, is that orga-nized crime is just that – highlyorganized. Cybercrime rings operate like businesses, with longhours, tough managers, and dead-lines on deliverables. This meansthe attacks are coming from highlymotivated attackers who spendtheir entire work week on theoffense, so organizations should be prepared to have dedicated personnel who can match that time,effort, and skill on the defense.
The current threats are primarilytargeting the financial, technology,and healthcare sectors for financially
motivated reasons. They often seekto damage the utility industriesmore as acts of terrorism. Theyface threats that are complicated in nature and vast in scope. Theseattacks are multi-pronged andwell thought-out and prepared upto months in advance.
The reconnaissance phase lasts formonths, comprised of phishingemail attacks, social engineering,and other soft skills. They oftenrely on human weakness to gain

sensitive information leveragingpsychological techniques tobecome trusted. This is significantlymore difficult to detect than thefamed “Nigerian Letter” scam. In addition, they probe the othersources of technical information,either through unnoticed informa-tion disclosure vulnerabilities orwhat they can find on the darkweb. After this phase is completed,they go after the valuable informa-tion, often slowly infiltrating anorganization for several months.
The technical skills we have seenused in breaches are very ingeniousand clever - manipulating the digital trust structure. Often theinitial vector of compromise isinert, doing something non-mali-cious (like checking the systemtime) for weeks. After a while the local security agents (such asanti-virus) trusts this application.As the attackers have studied this,they know the time this occurs in,so after they gain the trust theydownload the real malware. Thismalware will begin to gather infor-mation and learn traffic patterns.Once this is accomplished, it’llslowly begin ex-filtrating the datait captures back to the attackers,evading traffic anomaly detection,especially since it originates fromthe inside and is most likely sentover HTTPS as opposed to an easier-to-filter protocol.
Detecting these threats is extremelydifficult and takes a careful eye to rebuild systems that will beimpervious to a similar attack. Theonly way to help prevent them isto recognize the threats are there and make educated, well thought-through steps to combat them.After all, this is a war on the digital battlefield.

SECURITY — NOT THE SAMEOLD DRILLBy Mark V. Murphy
It depends on when you got intothe security field: card readers,biometric scanners, facial recogni-tion software are standard itemsfor those whose careers began during this century.
A generation ago, security officersmight have Detex or equivalent“keys” (and a bit later “digital”keys). They followed fixed pathsto “security checkpoints” in buildings, around perimeters or over specific grounds. The“wrong” persons knew when itwas the “right” time to ply theirtrade. So, tours were eventuallyrandomized as well.
Although the drill is not the sametoday – one factor does remain:none of the benefits technologybrings do much good if therearen’t people monitoring and evaluating the information produced in real time.
As in decades past, our buildingsecurity officers do general patrolrounds and perhaps give directionsto visitors and tourists. However,the entire security staff is probablytrained in first aid, AED use,counter surveillance, and emer-gency response beyond fire safety.Training includes viewing every-thing and everyone through amore cynical lens even if wordscoming out of their mouths aregenerally pleasant and professional.
We do not expect security practi-tioners to take anything for grant-ed and very little comes under thecategory of “ordinary”. Teams are
expected to be pro-active, evaluat-ing their environment for potentialdangers, liability issues, and mak-ing referrals to proper depart-ments for corrections.
We train our security teams torespond to myriad possible emer-gency scenarios at the assignedproperty and at that of our neigh-bors. It’s down the street but oftenimpacts us. Will construction orrenovation restrict traffic flow toour loading dock? Will pedestriansbe congregating at our entrancesbecause it takes so much longer toget down narrowed walkways onthe street?
Plans and responses reflect a viewtoward potential terror events –and potential secondary events, asin Mumbai. Last century that wassomewhat far-fetched.
Now you can connect to theworld-wide-web just about any-where around the globe. It is liter-ally a double-edged sword. Whilewe glean information from ourarea and everywhere else, so dothe bad guys. Will someone inSaskatchewan or Chile copycat theSan Bernardino or Paris attacks?
Old spy movies often portrayedovert recruiting. This century, terrorist groups use social mediato deliver emotional recruitingmessages that may resonate withthousands. They are not “lonewolves” as portrayed in newsreports but they are being impactedand connected to a “cause” elec-tronically. Yet, terror group leader-ship generally sees these “respon-dents” as disposable.
We no longer say:“That happened over there, it won’thappen here.”

We engage non-security co-workers;we seek information/observationsfrom employees, tenants, even visitors who spot somethingunusual. It may be an age of toomuch information – some almosttrivial. Being able to manage andaccess what is significant, that’sthe hard part. Connecting theunusual dots can be key. Remember‘Son of Sam’ was identified via aparking summons.
Earlier, a fire alarm meant weinstructed occupants to evacuatetwo floors below the fire andmaybe to evacuate the building.Now we take into account the status of the exterior environmentas well as the interior. We haveplanned responses for weather disasters, blackouts…worse. Some-times leaving an area endangersour people more than staying.
When choosing evacuation, is themeet-up area a public or private site?
Is the site under our control? Didwe visit and inspect it recently? Is it possible that place itself hasbeen compromised?
While no one can foretell thefuture, I feel Security and LifeSafety are evolving into one discipline. Today, they are bondedtogether – two sides of the samecoin.
