When did workplace violence, soft targets, crisis management and software breaches become the daily concern of industry leaders? For some, it's still let the security/or the HR/or the software guys worry about it. I'll just keep my eye on production. Unfortunately that narrowed focus won't keep businesses safe or hack-free. There are just too many bad guys out there to track them all. But as authors Drs. Fagel and Hesterman show us, we have some pretty powerful tools at hand to keep the vandals at bay. -Blue Heron Journal


When did workplace violence, soft targets, crisis management and software breaches become the daily concern of industry leaders? For some, it's still let the security/or the HR/or the software guys worry about it. I'll just keep my eye on production. Unfortunately that narrowed focus won't keep businesses safe or hack-free. There are just too many bad guys out there to track them all. But as authors Drs. Fagel and Hesterman show us, we have some pretty powerful tools at hand to keep the vandals at bay. -Blue Heron Journal This book is general enough to recommend an all-hazards approach for routine events, yet specialized enough to include segments on church security, hospital business continuity, sports venues, schools, public health systems, and active shooter scenarios. It contains updates to historically tried-and-true concepts such as target hardening, while articulating the need for less- conventional-strategies like fusion centers for sharing intelligence and cybercrime defenses.This is a well written must-read for security managers, emergency planners, and first responders. It is also an excellent textbook for instructors and professors. -Jim Murray, CPP, ASIS International
