PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Risk Assessment
Create a risk-based versus a reactionary security program. Understand the justification and benefits of performing a risk assessment and the methodology behind the identification of security risks and vulnerabilities. Resources, countermeasures, and implementation planning will be discussed.
The Convergence of Physical Security and IT
Convergence, the union of physical and IT resources, has had a significant effect on both types of systems. Identify how these departments work together, the inherent dependence between physical and logical security programs, and see how dependent electronic systems are on a network infrastructure.
Network Infrastructure Design Elements
Focus on network physical and logical infrastructure as well as aspects of network security. Analyze a comprehensive plan to develop the core of a network infrastructure—the wiring plant. Layers of network devices and infrastructure discussions are added.
Case Study
Choose between three ongoing case studies. Apply issues you are facing and take home solutions.
The Development of a Systems Specification
What difference does it make if something's included in the spec? When do you use the Construction Specification Institute (CSI)? How do drawings fit into the picture, and how does the text fit in? Discuss the planning and execution of a comprehensive specification. Example templates from CSI are presented.
Identity Verification and System Impact
Learn about key elements and implementation requirements of creating and provisioning credentials. Discuss combined logical and physical access control deployments. Analyze case study details regarding collection and verification identity, technology impacts of legacy systems, identity cards, and readers.
Perimeter Barrier Systems
Explore the use and effectiveness of barrier systems such as bollards, crash resistant barriers, knee-walls, and various types of fencing. Discuss screening operations and physical components such as operable bollards and gates with special emphasis on crash ratings. Integration of these physical components and safe use of devices will also be addressed.
Legacy Systems and New Technologies
How do you effectively deploy enhancements and upgrades to your existing physical security system? How do you specify easily upgradeable access control and video solutions? Is it more cost-effective to upgrade or repurchase? What cabling or network infrastructure upgrades are needed to keep pace with core security system technologies? How do you budget for future technology development?
Innovation or Confusion: Technology's Top Ten
Emerging tends and technologies in physical security, logical security, physical access control, and video surveillance systems.
Digital and IP Video Management Systems
Should you "go IP"? Discuss the advantages and solutions that IP-based video brings to the integrated physical security solution. Review digital and network video recording systems and the use of storage area networks. Discuss analog, hybrid, and IP-based camera technology, with a primer on video compression.
Biometrics and Identity Management
Access control, smartcards, identity management—everything you want to know about physical and logical access.
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)
Review the elements of CPTED and learn how advanced physical security systems benefit from their application.
Design Your Best Command Center
Learn about different monitoring layouts and how automated systems like object recognition and license plate capture impact the design. Topics include network operation centers, city center surveillance, and video verification.
Electronic Security Control Systems
Address options to create a reliable and scalable security control system. Discuss advantages and tradeoffs of various system architectures: centralized, distributed, Software as a Service (SaaS). Identify operational and design challenges in integrating disparate systems into a reliable and usable system.
From a Legal Perspective: Is your Facility Increasing Your Liability?
Take a look at the legal and privacy issues that could be hidden in your facility. Do today's access control and surveillance systems protect or create liability? Discussion involves privacy, liability, and legal considerations in specific markets including residential, SMB, and commercial properties.
System Maintenance and Service Agreements
Review what's needed to maintain technology-based security systems and the tools to achieve success. Discuss various support options along with associated costs and tradeoffs. Examples of specifications and agreements will be presented.
