NEWSDwaine Nichol is Security Director of the Year The Manager of Security and Life Safety for the largest municipality in Canada has been chosen Security Director of the Year, 2008 by Canadian Security Magazine. As the long-awaited Private Security and Investigative Services Act (formerly Bill 159) takes hold in Ontario, the industry sounds off on battling red tape, the pros and cons of portable licensing, and whether customers and the public will be better served under the Act. Perimeter: The first line of defence Whether you are responsible for protecting critical infrastructure, financial institutions, retail or public sector facilities, perimeter security is the first line of defence in a comprehensive physical security program. Opinion Our first salary survey of the security industry in Canada produced some interesting results, but they didn't entirely surprise me, unfortunately. While I was impressed with the number of respondents who took the time to answer the questions that were put together by Mike McPherson and the executive team from CSIS and the Canadian Security staff, the answers were fairly predictable. Network Defence Are there holes in your network defence strategy? What will you do if your network is hacked? With the potential for harm to your brand, it's no wonder businesses are worried about their data. From hackers to spam to viruses to DoS attacks, your network or website is constantly under attack. We want to hear about your concerns and help provide some answers. Send your burning questions to jbrown@clbmedia.ca and we'll forward them on to DigitalDefence who will answer them in the pages of Canadian Security magazine. Please send as much information as possible to allow DigitalDefence to analyze your question and come up with a detailed answer. The answer will be e-mailed to you directly and later be published in Canadian Security so others may benefit from your experience. Your company name will not be published. We ask that your questions be limited to the field of network security, but other than that, anything's game. Remember: There are no stupid questions, only safer networks. The best three questions will receive an ipod |

September 2008 Canadian Security
2008 Security Director of the Year
Retail focus:
Shelley Holmes,
Manager, Resource Protection
The Shopping Channel
The Shopping Channel has many of the same challenges of a traditional retailer, but there are unique aspects to the kinds of fraud and theft Shelley Holmes battles every day. We talk to her about the tools she uses to combat loss.
Best Buy secures facilities inside and out:
How
the electronics retailer is using screening technology to reduce
internal theft in their distribution facilities as well as improve the
security of the workplace.
Strengthening internal security:
The
most well thought out security plans become useless if employees ignore
procedures. And they often do. They share passwords, write them down,
fail to report missing access cards and exchange cards. They open doors
for each other, walk away from computer screens displaying confidential
information and leave access cards lying around where they can be
easily taken. We examie the measures a company can take to ensure that
employees don't do an end run around carefully planned security
policies.
