The world is getting smaller, and corruption is no longer contained in a single location. It transcends boundaries, impacting people and businesses at multiple global touchpoints.
Rachel Briggs was a university student when her uncle was taken and held by the National Liberation Army (ELN) in Colombia and held for 7 ½ months before being released.
Late last year ASIS International announced the appointment of Peter J. O’Neil, FASAE, CAE, as its new Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer.
As drone popularity, function and capabilities rise, it becomes increasingly apparent that unmanned aerial vehicles will have a hand in transforming campus security.
It’s not just the resiliency of the citizens of New Orleans that has earned the right to be celebrated this hurricane season. Businesses should also be celebrated for their resiliency. I recently spoke with executives from Cooperative Processing Resources (CPR) and LifeShare Blood Centers about the ways they avoided severe downtime during Hurricane Katrina, and bounced back as even more resilient organizations.
With cyberattacks making headlines almost on a daily basis, the role of the chief risk officer (CRO) is important now more than ever before. In addition to analyzing, monitoring, predicting, mitigating and evaluating many types of risks and conditions, chief risk officers (CRO) are held responsible for ensuring compliance to rapidly evolving industry regulations and analyzing IT operations to prevent data leakage.
Over the past few months, airport security hasn’t exactly made good headlines. Except for Miami International Airport. Unlike other airports across the U.S., Miami International Airport screens all employees that enter and exit the secured area of the airport. Miami has four checkpoints for employee screening, seven access gates for inspections of vehicles entering into the airfield, random background checks of employees and a mandatory security awareness class. Last year, the airport confiscated 209 employee ID badges for security violations. The airport has nearly 38,000 employees with ID badges, and 35,000 who have access to restricted areas. I spoke with Lauren Stover, Director of Public Safety and Security at Miami-Dade Aviation Department at the Miami International Airport (MIA) about the proactive stance that she and her team take each day.
