Strategies for Increasing Security Employee etention

Security employees constitute the most important component of organizational workforce. It is because; they ensure the core survival of organization and its assets. However, the ironic fact is the security employees are considered blue collar workers and their compensation packages are low (Hodson & Sullivan, 2008). On the other hand, their job routine is tough requiring both physical and mental attention for its effective performance.

The job of security employees is risky and the level of risk varies depending on the organization they are working for. There are many high risk jobs like security of sensitive areas, highly commercial zones and residence of very important people. As these places are prone to security threats, the risk is directly transferred to the life and security of security…...

Security management is "described in some quarters as a function of risk management," (Bulletin 2, Part 2). Although there is some crossover with public sector security functions, such as policing, security management is generally considered a private sector domain. "Whilst private security has a predominantly commercial basis, it should not be forgotten that it does interact with the public to a considerable degree," (Bulletin 2, Part 2). Security management is closely linked with other roles, and there may be some crossover with risk management. Usually, risk managers "need appropriate specialist advice at the corporate level and other managers need to apply risk management principles in their own areas," (Bulletin 4, Part 1). Security managers often play a role in advising senior management and providing guidance to departmental managers.
The main day-to-day functions of security managers will vary depending on the nature of the organization and the types of risk it faces.…...

Security Management
The role of a security manager varies widely according to the particular organization and its needs, but despite this variety, there remain certain best practices and policies that can help maintain security and stability. This is nowhere more true than in the case of organizational loss, because while loss can mean widely different things depending on the field, the underlying theoretical concepts which inform attempts to minimize loss are broadly applicable. By comparing and contrasting different kinds of organizational loss and the demands they place on security managers, one is able to better understand which responses and policies, both general and specific, will be most effective in responding to organizational loss. As will be seen, while the specific options available might vary wildly according to organization, the underlying theoretical justifications for those options apply nearly across the board, because they are based on the same shared concepts that define…...

Security Management at Aviation and Healthcare Sectors
Security Management Essay

This paper discusses the concept of aviation security management and security management at healthcare settings. In addition to that, this paper also lists down and describes the important factors that can have an influential impact on the functions of aviation and a healthcare security manager.

Security Management at Aviation and Healthcare Sectors

Aviation Security

The general aviation security confronts a number of security challenges. The policy makers and the security managers in the aviation sector experience elevated number of security risks due to a number of factors. These factors include; diverse and geographically dispersed airports, relatively open air bases and protected infrastructures such as nuclear reactors and chemical plants. (Elias, 2009)

The aviation security is important because of the increasing number of terrorists, who aim at exploiting the general aviation sector to damage the protected ad critical infrastructure and the high profile targets. Some aviation assets…...

The reality is however that legacy systems pose the greatest potential risk to any enterprise, as these platforms are anachronistic in terms of security support, lack many common safeguards, and don't have the necessary Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) to scale globally as a secured platform (Gupta, oth, 2007). Legacy systems were designed in an era where single authentication for an entire enterprise system was sufficient enough, and the concept of role-based access and computing was not considered a core requirement. Architects of these systems could not anticipate the breadth, depth and sophistication of attacks being carried out today against enterprise systems, websites, EDI links and every other potentially vulnerable entry point to a system. Enterprise software vendors including Oracle, SAP, Infor and others have opted to port or migrate their legacy EP systems to Enterprise Application Infrastructure (EAI)-based platforms to increase their security while retaining compatibility with legacy databases…...

Identification of external risks depends of the location and structure of the business premises, the type of business, its neighbors, and company-specific risks.
Security managers must also pay attention to regulatory compliance with voluntary, self-regulation, and statutory considerations (Options for the development of the security industry). Voluntary regulation is self-imposed and may include the establishment of a professional regulatory body. Self-regulation occurs where the regulated profession has a majority on the regulating body; for example, medical professionals regulating the medical industry. Legal regulation entails legal requirements that must be followed in order to practice or operate.

In Organizational resilience: Security, preparedness, and continuity management systems -- requirements with guidance for use (2009), a process approach is described for achieving effective security management. A process approach, according to this source, involves:

Understanding an organization's risk, security, preparedness, response, continuity, and recovery requirements

Most cybercrimes are committed against the United States and countries such as Great Britain and Australia and some other European countries. Some smaller countries or countries that haven't quite caught up with the computer age don't have laws on the books to charge someone caught hacking into computers in their country. The problem with the internet, is that someone can sit in a small country that just barely has computer capabilities and hack into a computer system in another country such as the United States and even if we were to track the hacker down and pinpoint exactly where they are, if that country doesn't have laws in line with us or extradition programs, then it is all but impossible to prosecute the criminal.

Security Management is a process that functions systematically to identify and evaluate risks-posing threats whilst taking appropriate actions and resolutions aimed at safeguarding the company. Some security managers have the perception that risk is the future possibility of an occurrence that is bound to cause a negative impact, while keeping in mind that risk has also the possibility of providing future opportunities. In the course of taking up risks, companies in some cases are on the verge of achieving considerable objectives. Nevertheless, companies require security management to summarize and analyze the potential risks to balance possible gains against the possible losses and keep away from expensive mistakes and decisions. Security management functions best as a preventive mechanism rather than as a reactive mechanism. Companies experience maximum advantage when they put their risks into consideration in the course of recommendable performance and when they are experiencing growth to maintain profitability…...

MANAGEIAL PESPECTIVE

In the case of the man being shot in the parking lot, it is likely that the crime could have been prevented by a number of means. Even though it would likely require an expansion of staff, porters could have been provided to meet all hotel patrons in or walk them to their cars in the parking lot or garage. Alternatively, they could have secured the parking lot itself with a controlled access entry and a gatekeeper, ensuring that robbers would at the very least have a difficult time gaining access.

Another possibility, although somewhat unrealistic in terms of continuing business, would be to warn those who book rooms that the parking lot is dangerous and is used at the patron's own risk. This would, however, doubtless cause decreased patronage and eventually the closing of the hotel. In addition, there are questions of law regarding how far a business must…...

No Room for Liability: A Hotel's Exposure to Costly Negligent Security Claims Is Controllable.

The security manager will have to find the specific technology that provides what is needed for the price the company can pay or will have to indicate what cannot be done under current circumstances to get approval to provide less or to get funds to provide more.
There are barriers to developing systems security that are both financial and philosophical:

Systems security is often viewed in a manner similar to physical security: Buy it once and use it forever. Unfortunately, like physical security, obsolete policies, procedures, and technologies leave systems extremely vulnerable to external and internal attacks. Most stakeholders find it difficult to accept the need for constant spending on systems security when it is difficult to quantify the benefits. Even when benefits can be quantified, unenlightened stakeholders may still question the need for continuous spending in the systems security area. In many cases, education can overcome this philosophical barrier. Unfortunately,…...

Canada and the U.S. Security Management
Since September 11th, both the United States and Canada have been forced do deal with the dual challenges of maintaining a safe border and ensuring that trade flows freely between the two counties. Effective management of international environments, an effective understanding of the four functions of management, and the use of important management skills are important in helping Canadian managers and firms overcome border challenges.

Canadian managers are faced with a number of international environments during the normal course of foreign business. These can include differences in language and culture, and differences in units of measurement. In an international environment, financial concerns and currency are also often apparent, as are concerns over differences in laws. However, perhaps the most important of these international environments focuses around trade agreements, sanctions, and barriers, and concerns over national security.

In trade between the U.S. And Canada in the post-9/11 world,…...

Security and Ethics at Cincom Systems

Cincom Systems is a global leader in the development, implementation and service of enterprise software that is specifically designed for the needs of complex manufacturers. Its security and ethics policies reflect the company's long-standing customer relationships with defense contractors both in the U.S., and in the United Kingdom, France and Australia. Each of these nations use Cincom's software to manage their complex defense systems. As a result of these long-standing and trust-based relationships, Cincom must adhere to very stringent requirements for data and information security. The intent of this analysis is to explain how Cincom Systems used the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) triad to better manage security requirements, and to also define the formal and informal security policies the company has in place. Having served as an intern for the company for two years, specifically during summer and winter breaks, much of…...

Security management 1. In a civil action, how can a claim of negligent hiring have a greater chance of succeeding?
Jurisdictions have been increasingly putting laws in place pertaining to what makes organizations a potential target for a lawsuit on negligent hiring. Though in most instances, claims of negligent hiring may be effectively fended off, it proves increasingly tricky in the following cases:
· If the individual harming or injuring another is an employee of the company.
· If the employee is found guilty of harming, injuring or doing any damage to the complainant.
· If the organization was aware of, or ought to have been aware of, the employee’s tendency to inflict harm or injury.
· If the organization was inattentive when hiring the individual and failed to carry out a proper background check which could have identified the individual’s tendency to cause harm to clients or colleagues (McCrie, 57-60).

Port Facilities Manager
Ports have historically played an instrumental role in driving the global economy by facilitating the movement of people and cargo from one part of the globe to another. Due to their phenomenal influence on the global economy, ports must be effectively managed. This is particularly true in terms of their facilities, equipment, and infrastructure. The port facilities manager is tasked with the responsibility of supporting the port in carrying out its day-to-day operations. Their work particularly involves managing and maintaining port facilities, equipment, and infrastructure; supervising and managing port personnel; and supporting the security management function in ensuring the safety of cargo, tenants, and port personnel. The port facilities manager is also involved in liaising with and engaging port users, assisting in the preparation of port facilities budgets, ensuring adherence to the relevant regulatory requirements, as well as coordinating special events held at the port. These roles…...
