This month, Eduard Emde, CPP takes the reins as president of ASIS International President. He’s the first non-U.S. president of the organization and a consultant for BMKISS Europe, in Wassenaar, The Netherlands.
“I am convinced that 2012 will continue to be dominated by all facets of cyber-related security risks,” Emde tells Security magazine.”These types of threats received significant exposure this year, which, in turn, served to increase the level of awareness within organizations and the security management community. I think that topic will continue to be of major interest for the year to come, as well as some other trends and developments in the organization and the security profession. While I cannot pinpoint the timing, the next development in the sourcing of security services is likely to come about within the next five to 10 years. This evolution will impact the security services industry, but the main driver will come from organizations that upgrade the theme of universal sourcing. This would have quite an impact on the profession.”
