Corporate Security Management

Security is a multidimensional concept, with many meanings, practising domains and heterogeneous occupations. Therefore it is difficult to define security as a singular, although understanding may be achieved by its applied context in presenting a domicile body of knowledge. There have been studies that have presented a number of corporate security bodies of knowledge; however, there is still restricted consensus. From these past body of knowledge studies and supported by multidimensional scaling knowledge mapping, a body of knowledge framework is put forward, integrating core and allied knowledge categories. The core knowledge categories include practise areas such as risk management, business continuity, personnel and physical security, and security technology. Nevertheless, corporate security also has interrelationship with criminology, facility management, safety and law. Such a framework provides clear boundaries for the practising domain of corporate security, better reflects the security experts’ view of their practising domain, allows directed tertiary pedagogy and presents what could be considered the scholarly area of Security Science.

Evaluación de aspectos de seguridad y protección de activos previos a la elección de un inmueble

Este trabajo propone una serie de pautas para el análisis de aspectos de seguridad que puede realizarse sobre diferentes sitios o lugares elegidos, antes de tomar la decisión final de tomar posesión de uno de ellos.
Analiza factores edilicios y del entorno que podrían afectar el patrimonio de las organizaciones. Su propósito es anticipar amenazas o riesgos que en caso de ocurrir podrían alterar las operaciones o inclusive la continuidad del negocio.
Nos encontramos en épocas difíciles para las organizaciones y para los seres humanos en general. La pandemia es un hecho de rara ocurrencia pero de altísimo impacto para la vida de todos.
Sin embargo en épocas normales existen una gran cantidad de factores que pueden ser estudiados evaluados y anticipados para asegurar que no afecten el desarrollo de nuestras actividades.

Security Science integrates the multi-disciplined practice areas of security into a single structured body of knowledge, where each chapter takes an evidence-based approach to one of the core knowledge categories.

The authors give practitioners and students the underlying scientific perspective based on robust underlying theories, principles, models or frameworks. Demonstrating the relationships and underlying concepts, they present an approach to each core security function within the context of both organizational security and homeland security. The book is unique in its application of the scientific method to the increasingly challenging tasks of preventing crime and foiling terrorist attacks. Incorporating the latest security theories and principles, it considers security from both a national and corporate perspective, applied at a strategic and tactical level. It provides a rational basis for complex decisions and begins the process of defining the emerging discipline of security science.

Risk management is becoming a well established discipline, with its own body of knowledge and domain practitioners. States worldwide now have their own risk management standards and in many, it is the company director’s responsibility to ensure risk management compliance. A subset of risk management is security risk management; however, security risk management is unique from other forms of risk management and many of the more generic risk models lack key concepts necessary for effective design, application and mitigation of security risks.

This book defines the key concepts of security risk management and forms these into a conceptual map, based on an interpretative four-phase scientific study. The security risk management map demonstrates the inclusive and spatial locality of the more significant security risk concepts, domain complexity and the central aspect of such concepts as threat, criticality, etc. In addition, the book presents 14 core organisational security knowledge categories, arranged within a framework. Such an approach allows in-depth understanding, improved teaching and learning, system design and application of these areas of security and security risk management.

There have been a number of studies that have attempted to defi ne the concept of security. However, as past authors have indicated, security is multidimensional in nature and diverse in practice. This diversity leads to diffi culty in providing a single all encompassing definition for the many applied domains of security. Security cannot be considered singular in concept defi nition, as defi nition is dependant on applied context. This study reversed engineered an applied security defi nition through the critique of 104 undergraduate security degrees, resulting in the presentation of 13 core security knowledge categories. These 13 knowledge categories were then integrated into an existing Australian security framework, resulting in the presentation of the science of security framework model. This framework allowed a greater understanding of security through knowledge structure and placed concept defi nition within the applied context domain of organizational security.

This chapter reviews the juggernaut of surveillance technologies that have been (in the last three decades) and are constantly being developed around the world. It examines their technological capacities in detail, and highlights the enormous potential they have for good. On the other side of the coin, the intrusive and invasive power of the new technologies requires laws and policies that can hold accountable those who use and misuse surveillance tools. Legislators and policy-makers the world over need to be mindful of the challenges that confront them and problems that await them if they are to remain abreast of current developments.

Intelligent Buildings (IB) are facility-wide systems that connect, control, and monitor the plant and equipment of a facility. The aim of IB is to ensure a facility is more efficient, productive, and safe, at a reduced cost. A typical IB integrates diverse subsystems into a common and open data communication network, using both software and hardware; however, IBs suffer from diverse generic vulnerabilities. Identified vulnerabilities may include limited awareness of security threats and system vulnerabilities, physical access to parts of the system, compromise of various networks, insertion of foreign devices, lack of physical security, and reliance on utility power. IB risks are contextual and aligned with the threat exposure of the facility. Nevertheless, there are generic mitigation strategies that can be put in place to protect IB systems. Strategies include threat-driven security risk management, an understanding of system criticality, greater integration of departments, network isolation, layered protection measures, and increased security awareness.

Increasing political turmoil across many regions has increased concerns amongst business, social and governmental circles over the ability of organisations to anticipate and respond positively to disruptions. Organisations are spending increased sums of money to raise levels of governance and security protocols, under the term resilience. Nevertheless, term organisational resilience is vague, and the term itself implies multi-disciplined and diverse strategies and tactics, requiring a diversity of skills and knowledge that reaches beyond security and governance alone. The resilience domain is still developing; however, early embodiments of organisational resilience, originating in the United Kingdom and the United States, appear to be rebranding of business continuity management strategies, put together as a ‘resilience processes’ or ‘resilience systems’.
More recently ‘resilience management systems’, claiming to deliver benefits akin to those that the International Standards Organisation 9001 gave the Quality Assurance discipline have begun to appear. Nevertheless, there is a constant absence of a clearly defined and researched set of essential concepts that make up the theoretical structure of Organisational Resilience. It is argued that Organisational Resilience is both a top-down culture (value, leadership) and bottom-up, delivered by a number of functional processes such as risk management, governance, interdependencies, security management, situational awareness and business continuity. However, validation of these elements is required and is currently underway.

This paper challenges the mainstream social scientific approach that emphasizes “moral inferiority” in corruption and bribery in Central and Eastern Europe. We argue that in many cases, people participate in informal organizational resource exchanges not because of immorality or greed but rather because of powerful external forces. By using the case of contemporary Hungary to support this argument, this paper provides a systematic analysis of such imperatives. The findings of 50 in-depth qualitative interviews suggest that two main imperatives can be distinguished; macro-level social and mezzo-level organizational forces. Macro-level forces may be linked to historical paths, Hungary's socialist and pre-socialist social conditions, and its post-socialist welfare state development. Mezzo-level organizational forces are more general phenomena and can be found in many other countries in the world. Moreover, there are numerous categories within each theme. Some of them represent normative imperatives, while others are more material structural forces.

We live in an ever connected and digital world which brings great convenience, capability, and comfort to our modern quality of life, but at the same time introduces significant threats and vulnerabilities as well when things fall apart or fail, as they most likely do in crisis and disaster. The purpose of this article is to provide a critical review and state of the current and future security environment related to the various areas of social media and emerging technology that impact policy, preparedness, operations, and response within crisis and disaster situations. Ultimately, we find that some of our biggest opportunities within these areas are also likewise some of the biggest potential challenges and threats we are likely to face going forward within the realm of corporative security. While we may choose to ignore these, or discount their impact in the short term, it is increasingly apparent to the enlightened observer, that they will likely manifest themselves as critical vulnerabilities and potential points of failure in the mid to long term if we do not begin to address them.

Information security can benefit from multiple approaches to achieve staff compliance.  While some will naturally accept their responsibilities, others require encouragement to stay on the right path.  Referring to deterrence theory, one potential factor is the desire to avoid feeling shamed by managers or amongst peers.  As such, this article examines the potential of shaming as a means of dissuading them from breaching policy.  In order to explore the practical potential, the discussion presents findings from a survey of 113 respondents, asking them to consider a range of possible punishments and the likelihood of these influencing their security behavior.  The results reveal that shaming could indeed have a positive influence, but there are also potential risks involved.  As such, the discussion also examines the wider considerations and constraints that organisations should recognize in relation to using shaming in practice.

Experts have found that employees represent the greatest risk for unauthorized leak of business-critical information for organizations since they have access to a wide range of business-critical information, knowledge and understanding of work processes. At the same time, they are aware of any potential security flaws in organizations. All this enable intentional or unintentional disclosure and/or misuse of business-critical information, resulting in significant financial losses and loss of competitive advantage thus seriously endanger the existence of an economic entity. Among other, organizations are focusing on human resource management in order to avoid those deviations. Human resource managers can take care for the effective implementation of human resources policies by implementing a high level of safety culture and safety consciousness and awareness-raising, education and training of employees affect the safe behavior and actions of employees and thereby contribute significantly to ensuring the security of business-critical data.

The chapter critiques Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) as applied in the domestic and commercial environments in the protection of assets, with Defence in Depth providing an underlying strategy. IDS is the integration of technology and processes, with taxonomies of sensing detectors and applied levels of environmental security. Therefore, the chapter raises issues in the efficacy and application of IDS. Efficacy issues include the degree of deterrence provided and the ability to detect intrusion. Whether IDS alters deviant environmental behaviour and why users choose IDS over other strategies. Application issues include the Electronic Security sector itself, regulatory regimes, quality of installation and the false alarm rates. These, amongst others, are factors that affect the efficacy of IDS. To conclude, the future of these systems and further research that could improve our understanding of IDS is presented.

Partendo dall'attuale conformazione delle security aziendali viste dall'occhio esterno di una società di consulenza, il paper intende ipotizzare lo sviluppo della Corporate Security come approccio strategico che sia-attraverso lo strumento dell'Intelligence integrata-un valore aggiunto al fare impresa, un imprescindibile supporto operativo e di business. Rispetto all'attuale maggioritaria visione attuale, da parte in particolare dei senior management, della Security come ostacolo ai vantaggi competitivi o come mera risoluzione di necessità dettate per legge, quali possono essere gli sviluppi dell'approccio alla Sicurezza e alla sua comunicazione? Più approfonditamente si affronta la necessità, per gli attuali professionisti e per i futuri manager e consulenti, di accedere ad una formazione più ampia (e costante) che abbia come perno il pensiero critico e la multidisciplinarità, imprescindibili strumenti per la conoscenza aggiornata dei contesti-fautori di rischi, minacce e opportunità-in cui ogni azienda opera in patria e all'estero. La Security e i Security Manager in Italia, visti dal lato consulente. La Sicurezza Aziendale, come la conosciamo oggi e intesa come tutela del patrimonio dell'impresa a 360°, nasce in Italia a cavallo delle tensioni sindacali degli anni 70 e, conseguentemente, si cristallizza con gli Anni di Piombo. Questa peculiare storia ne ha inevitabilmente influenzato le caratteristiche: in un'Italia fatta di imprese di famiglia, in cui le tensioni sociali e quelle più prettamente criminali imponevano di riflettere sulla minaccia dell'aggressione alla persona e al rapimento, la Sicurezza Aziendale si è arroccata su specifiche figure professionali e su strategie prettamente volte alla "difesa del fortino" e della persona. Non è un caso se a distanza di quasi mezzo secolo, ancora oggi le grandi aziende si riferiscano allo stesso tipo di personale (prevalentemente ruoli speciali dell'Arma dei Carabinieri) e leggano in essa la medesima funzione prettamente difensiva, spesso relegata alla tutela del solo patrimonio tangibile. Il proliferare di associazioni professionali, di convegni, di corsi di studio e di specializzazione, talvolta afferenti e altre volte tangenti le problematiche di Sicurezza, non ha ancora oggi impattato sul mondo manageriale in maniera sufficientemente efficiente, tale da far comprendere all'imprenditoria e alle governance d'impresa quale sia la reale importanza e la potenziale

Start-up is a basic thing that a person trying to do something original. Technopreneurs are the genes of technology based entrepreneurs, but they are not only bearing the risk in business and also crossing the danger zone in innovative and initiative a new kind of product and service to the society. In recent years, India concentrates on the development of start-up environment and deserves that, this is the best season to promote the techno start-up for the massive pillar in the upcoming trends. Since 2010, entire developed nations were focusing on the roar of technopreneurs of our nation. In the present situation, government of India highly offering outstanding opportunities to its extent and this may set the new milestone for the next phase of the start-up environment. This paper deals with the development of technopreneurship in India and contribution to the start-up technopreneurs, new schemes and well equipped technology parks will be implemented for the welfare of the new start-up and commencing new technical education centres with mentors and advisers.

Public street surveillance – a domain of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) – has grown enormously and become common place in our society as an all-purpose security tool. Previous authors have raised concerns over social, civil and privacy issues; however, there has been limited research to quantify such concerns. Nevertheless these concerns not only define the social risk perception of CCTV, but may also cause its social relocation and alter social support of CCTV.

This book is essential reading for those interested in CCTV from a social, privacy or security aspect. There has never been such a publication that provided a definitive measure of the social issues of CCTV. The book is based on a study that applied a psychometric risk theory to a new public street CCTV surveillance system, measuring the social risk perception over a period of time. In addition, factors that may define and drive such social issues, social concerns with CCTV control and CCTV gender issues are discussed in-depth. The book demonstrates that CCTV may not have yet found its true social risk measure and that current social support may not necessarily be defined or robust.
