The ASIS Subject Area Communities, and the steering committees that guide them, continue to be very busy working to deliver engaging content and conversations on specific topics in security, everything from specialized sectors, such as banking and financial services and pharmaceutical companies, to specific security responsibilities, such as investigations and IT security. There are 37 communities in all, plus four additional working or interest groups, in ASIS Connects, and every ASIS member has access to all of them.
To ensure you don’t miss what is happening in these communities, as well as the ASIS Connects Open Forum, the ASIS Blog will take a monthly look at events, conversations, and resources that make these vibrant communities hum. Here are the things we think you won’t want to miss:
