Security's Role as Coronavirus Affects Supply Chain and Business Continuity

On 27 February, ASIS International presented the webinar Novel Coronavirus: Crisis Management and Pandemic Best Practices for the Security Professional. In this segment of the webinar, Jeremy Prout, CPP, International SOS, discusses what security managers should be doing now as COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, as well as their role in more broadly planning for emergency pandemic preparedness.

The full webinar, now available on-demand with registration and fee, features Prout and Deena Disraelly, PhD, Institute for Defense Analyses, covering background on this particular outbreak, the role of security, the importance of business continuity planning, as well as medium- and long-range pandemic planning considerations.

ASIS continues to monitor the impact COVID-19 is having, and has created a page of resources for security professionals. The page will be updated with new links regularly.
