1. The Security Consultant’s Perspective…
With Workplace Violence becoming an emerging concern, the
employee dimension becomes a critical factor in conducting
Vulnerability Threat Assessments against capabilities and
weaknesses, similar to the way we conduct a business SWOT
(Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats). I wonder how
much thought a disgruntled employee, angry customer, an armed
robber or a specific act of terrorism, has given to the real
business threat of a violent act. Within each business or type
of employment, there exists an intriguing combination of
potential threats to the safety and security of the workplace.

| Article Title :: Putting Workplace Violence In Perspective Following September
11, 2001... |
| |
|
The Security Consultant's Perspective...
Putting the threat of violence and security in the workplace
following September 11, 2001 in perspective has a broader
meaning and greater appreciation. The price of Workplace
Violence has a physical, emotional and financial toll on the
victims, witnesses and the businesses. While worst-case
scenarios are not the norm, incidents of assaults, homicides,
threats and acts of sabotage are real in the typical workplace.
However, the simple but equally annoying and escalating hostile
conduct creates emotional contagions and spontaneous responses.
When thinking of workplace violence one should consider
situations and events of any type that if left uncorre (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How Much Money would it cost you to regain the use of your
computer after a serious virus infection? |
| |
|
It cost one of our friends a whole lot of money, much
aggravation and lost time, lost records, and a major
inconvenience to recover from the havoc caused by the worms and
viruses that had infiltrated their computer over a period of
many months.
Actually, our friends are like so many other people who use
their computers primarily for communicating with family and
their friends by email, sharing personal pictures, playing a few
games, doing a little research now and then, making airline and
hotel reservations, and maybe even balancing their check books.
Surfing the internet for them was just a sometime thing, not
necessarily a must-do daily routine.
They were aware of computer viruses and (read full article) |

1. The Security Consultant's Perspective...
Workplace violence is a reality whether it happens at the
warehouse, plant, parking lot, hospital or treatment center, and
office or while sitting in your car taking notes. It should not
be swept under the carpet. The average out of court civil suit
settlement is in the range of $300,000 to $500,000; jury
rendered verdicts awarding $1 Million dollars plus. A clear
reporting system should be implemented and all employees should
be trained and encouraged to report all incident
Training and Security Awareness makes good sense. While all
supervisors and managers should receive some form of orientation
on Threat Assessment and Risk Management all em (read full article) |

The Consultant's Perspective...
The threat of violence whether it emanates from a disgruntled
employee or the threat of terrorism require both a concerted and
an individual response. Terrorism in any form is terrorism.
Having been exposed to the daily taunts, acts of intimidation,
verbal threats of bodily harm are as debilitating
psychologically as the blunt strike or the piercing bullet.
Vigilance and security awareness makes for a good prescription.
In previous writings, I've attempted to draw a correlation
between the disgruntled employee and the terrorist from within
by suggesting similar patterns of behavior, traits and
characteristics coupled with freedom of access and possession of
