Utilities are shaped by change and must adapt to remain resilient. Adaptation by the security group that is driven by innovation will typically bring better results than simple course corrections after a change has been initiated by external factors. Innovation is most often driven by being ahead of the change curve, seeing what’s happening in the world and understanding the business pressures available mitigation options and external influences before they come to bear on the organization. Planning at this level places the security team ahead of many other business groups within the organization.

In order to remain relevant, security managers and their teams are called to respond effectively to change and to be an integral piece of the change management cycle. The key to addressing future security management requirements is rooted in current security management planning and must address four (4) essential components of organizational maturity.

This webinar will expand on this idea and provide support to each of these four pillars for adapting to change and remaining innovative in the process.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Related security program resiliency to four essential components of a security management program.
• Understand how the security management program establishes a baseline for all work initiated by the security group.
• Understand how security program development, sound business management acumen, situational awareness programs and enterprise security risk management are integrated and drive innovation.
• Understand why physical security risk management and cybersecurity risk management need to be integrated to support security resiliency planning.

Tragedies, including those at Fort Hood, Texas, Virginia Tech, WDBJ News Station and Mercy Hospital in Chicago, deliver painful lessons. Specifically, they underscore the point that behavioral threat assessments and threat assessment teams are critical to preventing targeted acts of violence. Join a threat and violence prevention expert to examine the threat assessment and prevention best practices that were absent in these highly-publicized incidents. Walk through the practical steps that can ensure that threat assessment teams and policies are equipped to promote prevention and, potentially, save lives.

This webinar will go beyond the convergence study results presented in the 14 January webinar and look at how organizations define convergence and what drives the convergence decision. We will also look at various models of convergence that organizations have successfully deployed, and how they made this organizational transformation while respecting culture, legal and regulatory requirements, and industry norms. We will also take a deeper dive into the business continuity management element of convergence, explore the impact of convergence on tomorrow’s security professional, and probe the audience for future research on this topic.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

1. Understand various models of convergence that have proven successful and how organizations have overcome cultural, legal, and other obstacles to converge
2. Learn what drives the convergence decision
3. Identify the key role of business continuity in the emerging convergence environment
4. Explore the impact of convergence on physical security professionals
5. Offer insights and ideas for future Foundation research

Learn advantages and drawbacks of convergence, as well as how factors such as organization size, geography, sector, and culture weigh into the equation. This on-demand webinar is free to all and eligible for 1 CPE credit.  

Everyone talks about the need for better critical thinking to deal with today’s problems, but practical guidance is hard to come by. This session will share best practices in applying key thinking techniques to security problems that range from dealing with insider threats to protecting sensitive facilities, from assessing supply chains to working with counterterrorism and competitive intelligence. Focusing on analytic strategies that improve rigor, avoid mental traps, and communicate clearly with others, security examples will be used to demonstrate the importance of understanding your context, checking key assumptions, considering alternative explanations, seeking inconsistent data, and focusing on key drivers and indicators. 

This webinar is sponsored by the ASIS Crime Prevention Council. 

Learning Objectives 

This webinar introduces security professionals to a set of concepts and techniques they can use to structure their analysis, how to generate solid analytic arguments, take into account change and ambiguity, and avoid major mistakes. 

Participants will practice through specific scenarios to help overcome mindsets, organize information, diagnose problems, explore different ways of thinking, and avoid surprise identifying the potential adversaries. 

Upon completion, participants will be able to: 

• Learn basic key thinking skills to improve the quality of your work. 
• Learn how and when to apply techniques to protect against biased thinking and spur imagination. 

• Learn how and when to use the tools to integrate your work with other colleagues, teams, and organizations.

We all know that there is no absolute (100%) violence prevention; however, we can get out in front of, and reliably prevent violence!

The FBI and Secret Service have for years suggested the most reliable way of preventing a future shooting is by “identifying someone on the path to violence.”

We all know that current systems like “See Something, Say Something,” Profiling, Mental Health Assessments and Identifying Stressors are not meeting our expectations.

The future for Security Professionals will be with those who are able to “reliably” identify individuals “on the path” and prevent violence from occurring, in a way that:

• Does not violate HIPAA, FERPA or the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
• Demonstrates its value to management by producing real-time Evidence-based Best Practices.

Be part of the future! Watch how John D. Byrnes will take us step by step to show us how we can “reliably” identify someone on the path to violence and thus prevent the next violent act. A winning future for any and all Security Professionals!

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

1. Better understand why current programs fall short of our expectations. Examples are:
   • The use of "See something, say something"
   • The use of Mental Health Assessments
   • The use of profiling
   • The use of Stressors
2. Understand "identifying someone on the path to violence."
   • Understand the use of "Aggression"
   • Learn about Primal (adrenaline-driven) Aggression
   • Learn about Cognitive (intent-driven) Aggression
   • Learn about the Meter of Emerging Aggression

• Guidance on the importance of policies and enterprise-wide engagement
• Recommendations for training, program content and delivery methods
• Key characteristics of successful security awareness programs

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Understand mental health in the United States today
• Recognize precursors to potentially dangerous behaviors
• Discuss strategies to respond and reduce violence in education and healthcare environments
• Develop leading practice policies
• Identify resources and training programs
