The program addresses the identification of risks and the definition of functional security requirements; definition and preparation of the Basis of Design and Assessment Report; definition and preparation of the Conceptual Design and supporting documentation; preparing the initial construction cost estimate; and, the preparation and presentation to management of a Business Case for Security.

Safely Putting Your Security Systems onto the Corporate Network This beginning and intermediate level program addresses the largest single trend in physical security systems—putting security systems onto the corporate network. This trend is a major source of risk for corporate networks. Ensure that your current or planned deployment of security systems onto the corporate network is completed soundly, both in terms of risk mitigation and total Return on Investment (ROI). Workshop sessions provide introductory level education on the subject. Printed and electronic take-home materials provide post-workshop follow up at introductory and intermediate levels. Two take-home guidance documents contain strategies and steps-to-take: one for the IT department and one for your security department, to help them smoothly and rapidly achieve success together. Handouts will be provided both in printed form (binder) and on a USB stick. Member: $395; Nonmember: $495 | Program # 1028 Sponsored by IT Security Council and Physical Security Council |

Noted leaders in the critical infrastructure and disaster preparedness arenas serve as speakers and panelists.

Securing Houses of Worship Security management, crime prevention and emergency planning are just a few of the areas that are of growing importance for applying proper risk management principles to houses of worship. During a security briefing, a former Secretary of State identified faith- based organizations as being in the top five at-risk sectors in the world. This program brings together security professionals with a wide variety of backgrounds related to houses of worship security. It focuses on the planning, design, and implementation of security operations and advanced technologies for cross-denominational places of worship. Additionally, it provides the latest information on identifying threats, vulnerabilities, and risks inherent to protecting houses of worship and all congregations. Specific topics include security management, crime prevention, and emergency planning. Member: $395; Nonmember: $495 | Program # 1030 Sponsored by Houses of Worship Security Working Group (HWSWG) |

Return to your organization with an understanding of tabletop exercises, methods for planning and reacting to a disaster in a hospitality environment, and processes for minimizing guest and/or customer injuries and confusion.
