Security Manager - protect people, property, and processes

You are tasked with the protection of humans as well as tangible and intangible assets – where in the world do you begin?  Protection of assets goes well beyond guards, gates and guns.  Cameras, and access control only solves part of the problem.  These systems are primarily reactive; whereas being proactive is the approach of the modern Security Manager.  Security assessments, security metrics (incident and case management), and security resource management are all part of the solutions you should be reviewing.

Risk Assessment – Building a security plan based on risk

The first step to a successful security plan begins with a site survey or a quantifiable assessment that determines risk based upon threat/vulnerability consequence that can be integrated into your organization's enterprise risk management strategy.  Mitigation planning and security policies will be derived from the results you discover during the assessment.

Security Resource Management – Tools to maximize efficiency and effectiveness

A new practice area in security is coming into play.  Security resources management is a container for all organizational resources that intersect with security and other functional groups such as facilities, information security and HR.  Areas to consider are secure key management, facility management (visitors, parking lots, contractors, etc.), information security – enforcement of confidentiality policies, and HR - security awareness training and officer scheduling.
