How to optimize your security budget

In times of economic uncertainty, corporate IT departments often feel the heat to curb spending

Homegrown leaders

People like Bob Gauvreau, Greg Dack and Dwaine Nichol are helping to shape, and shape up, the security industry

Just like many others in the industry, I have seen how the world of security has evolved from the days when the security supervisor/guard in the guard shack out back waited for an incident to respond to. Security consultant and author Charles Sennewald explains that in the past, "little attention was paid to the administrative, managerial, and supervisory aspects of the security industry... and (security practitioners) were becoming highly skilled protection technicians but remained aloof and insensitive to the principles and practices of good management"
