PI
Magazine Bookstore is
proud to offer investigators Security Education,
Awareness and Training. This book is the only one
available on security training for all level of personnel.
Currently, there are a handful of titles that cover guard
forces and protection officers, but none that speak to security
training for government, security, and non-security professionals.
Chief Security Officers (CSO), security managers, and heads
of security forces often have to design training programs
themselves from scratch or rely on outside vendors and outside
training companies to provide training which is often dry,
stilted, and not always applicable to a specific corporate
or government setting.
"Security Education, Awareness and Training" addresses the theories
of sound security training and awareness, then shows the reader how to put the
theories into practice when developing or presenting any form of security education,
training, motivation or awareness to organizational employees. Motivation is
a key factor in how a trainer can make security essential to an organization
and individual employees; it also speaks to the necessity of security and helps
to shape policy and ways of making security inherent and "easy" for
the employee to ensure a safe facility and working environment. Quite simply,
there is no other book like this on the market today, and this one will be the
one everyone turns to in order to learn and use for their own security programs.
All three authors have at least 20 years each in one aspect of the security business
or another, whether it be in program management, educational products, training,
or research. But it should be added that, while working at the Department of
Defense (DoD) Security Institute, we collaborated in developing and teaching
an innovative course specifically for "security educators." The course
attendees were individually tasked in their own organization to develop and execute
educational security programs for their general employee populations. Usually
they were starting from scratch rather than taking over from a previous security
educator. Often these programs were described as "security awareness" programs,
sometimes security education programs, an often security training.
In those days the student clientele for the Security Educators" Seminar
were drawn largely from industry and government agencies where the. These seminar
attendees had many goals: safety, protection of proprietary information including
protecting government and classified information, access control, coping with
work-place violence, anti-terrorism, facility protection—often a range
of educational tasks rolled into the position description of a single person.
What these professionals needed was not an understanding of security as we defined
it, but skills and techniques for imparting awareness of vulnerabilities, threats,
and consequences of ignorance; essential know-how to prevent bad things from
happening; and strategies for enhancing motivations to do the right thing at
the right time. We saw the central concept to be communication—how to reach
people, capture their attention, and ensure retention of essential information
within security training programs.
Over the years, there has always been the conflict between time, cost, and resources
and the need for security awareness training. Now, it seems more corporations
and government operations and facilities are willing to invest the time and money
needed to properly train and education employees. While technology and corporate
dynamics have changed and developed, the need for security awareness training
has remained, in fact, has never been greater. These fundamental issues of awareness,
motivation, and communication have not changed, and the proposed book is the
authors" attempt to fill such a need in security training.
