For years, enterprise security executives have been sharing “best practices.”

We've extended the deadline for the Security 500 survey! 

The 2016 Security 500 survey is now open! 

Jeff Karpovich, CPP, CHPA, security chief and transportation director at High Point University, has received the Medal of Excellence, awarded by the National Association of Campus Safety Administrators.

Attend the Security 500 West Conference at The Four Seasons, Palo Alto, on May 21, 2015.

 As you read through this year’s Security 500 Report and the advertisements surrounding it, you may not realize how much marketing’s mission is intertwined with security’s. Perhaps a digital marketing conference would be as valuable to you as attending a security industry event because the era of collecting, analyzing and interpreting information to identify risks and predict threats has arrived. Scorned for its use by three-letter government agencies, the results are clear. It works. The Predictive Revolution is the culmination of a three-stage evolution in risk and security practices.  

The Security 500Benchmarking Survey is based on information from several sources:

• Data supplied directly by participating enterprises
• Data obtained through public resources/records

The Security 500 tracks 18 vertical markets and collects unique data where appropriate (such as the number of unique facilities in healthcare) and applies this data to key metrics. The key metrics collected this year include but is not limited to:

• Security Spending/Person
• Security Spending/Revenue
• Security Employees/Officer

Security 500 members are enabling enterprise missions through proactive risk and resilience programs built on strong customer service cultures. Transforming security into a service organization requires flexible strategy and brilliant execution in an ever turbulent and global Risk-Nado.
