The answers to these questions are often complex, with differing implications for a broad range of interests. What is straightforward, though, is the need for the effective safeguarding of important property, information, and individuals. Providing quality protective and safety measures for a continuously-expanding landscape of potential vulnerabilities is a responsibility that requires diverse minds, competent abilities, proven achievements, and broad-based experiences.

The prevention of security incidents is becoming increasingly difficult in a world of rapidly evolving technology, instantaneous communication, and highly sensitive contrasts in political and cultural agendas. Not only are security professionals searching for answers to unique and complicated situations, but in today¹s business environment of shifting job responsibilities, many non-security professionals are being asked to address a broad range of security concerns. Oftentimes, in the face of a crisis, a lack of procedural understanding augments a confusion of job responsibilities to produce an unwanted, sometimes unrecoverable outcome.
