The deployment of biometric technologies for both physical and logical access control is increasing over a wide array of industries as organizations and individuals look to increase security through enhanced identification technologies. A recent SIA study, "U.S Security Market Survey" states that biometrics will be the fastest-growing physical access technology in the next couple of years. At the same time, logical biometric access control is becoming increasingly important as cyber-security assumes an ever higher profile. This presentation will provide security professionals contemplating the incorporation of biometrics into their physical and/or logical access control systems, with a solid grasp of the issues that need to be resolved before such a system can be successfully designed and deployed. Learning Objectives: 1. Describe how biometrics can enhance physical and logical access control. 2. Determine the planning and deployment considerations that must be addressed to ensure a successful application. 3. Distinguish among the various types of biometrics and their attributes to better facilitate the selection process.

Violence and hostility in the workplace is an issue that can affect any workplace, large or small. It costs our economy 4 to 6 billion dollars per year due to increased security, lost time at work, lawsuits, and lost productivity. The most common offenders are current and former employees. Domestic violence, as well as disgruntled clients and customers, also pose a threat to the workplace. Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the motivations for workplace violence. 2. Present indicators that commonly precede violence. 3. Provide prevention and intervention strategies. 4. Provide effective tools that you can use to de-escalate and diffuse hostile, aggressive or disruptive individuals.

Public and private organizations are rapidly deploying physical software to increase asset protection, and improve safety and security. By coupling these efforts with their traditional IT security information management (SIM) solutions, they have the potential to become a significant new security asset for broad-based pro-active threat detection and response. Rather than looking at the problem as either a security or technology issue, some leading organizations are doing top down risk assessments to set priorities and identify areas where teaming between the traditional physical and IT security groups can lower overall costs while increasing protection and safety. But how can these organizations optimize the implementation of these systems to reduce risk and enhance overall security management? How are risks identified and prioritized so the most critical are addressed first? And how can costs be reduced and existing security devices leveraged? This discussion featuring industry experts will focus on strategic risk management, including the "where, what and how" for organizations. Learning Objectives: 1. Learn how to identify physical and logical security risks and prioritize and implement a strategic risk management program. 2. Discover the methods and tools which are used to measure the overall risk factors of an organization, and how they can leverage these tools to identify where gaps exist. 3. Understand how public and private organizations are implementing this risk management approach, how they prioritize their strategic security program and funding requests, and how they are ensuring asset protection, safety and security.

With three of the four largest cities in the United States using PSIM technology, it's rapidly becoming the talk of the town, and the fastest moving trend in leading public and private security organizations. With proven, immediate ROI experienced, increased security, improved situation management, and seamless inter-agency collaboration, PSIM is making convergence possible. So what do the three out of four largest U.S. cities know about this technology that you don't (but should)? Come and find out. Learning Objectives: 1. Understand what PSIM technology is and how it can be used to enhance security. 2. Provide real-life examples that illustrate what leading organizations are doing to bring PSIM into their organizations. 3. Understand the benefits of PSIM, including how it is helping organizations lower their security risks while reducing their costs and providing real time situational awareness.

Bronze:  Most video systems today do not effectively catch bad guys because the resultant images are blurry and/or blochy. As a result, too many customers are not satisfied with their investment, and they blame the integrator who blames the consultant who blames the manufacturer. Meanwhile, the bad guy keeps getting away. The reality is poor system performance and image quality is more often due to a lack of early and consistent communication between the end-user, integrator, and specifier, as opposed to technology failure. By using simple descriptive terminology and basic video standards that end-users, architects, and integrators can easily understand, we will develop a series of guidelines that will substantially improve system design and installation to more effectively satisfy end user requirements and budget. Learning Objectives: 1. End users will learn how to effectively communicate user requirements to ensure expectations are met within budget. 2. Identify key elements of the video environment and their impact on bandwidth and storage when considering different compression methods like H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG. 3. Learn to balance surveillance needs and wants to maximize end user investment in an IP video system, and consultant/integrator effectiveness in meeting end user goals.

Retail Theft has become a significant issue that's impacted not only retail merchants, but also consumers that pick up the tab for this $40 billion per year problem. Organized Retail Crime (ORC), has also been linked as a funding source for terrorist activities, and commonly involves violent offenders who have turned to retail theft and fraud. Sixty percent of retailers with annual revenue greater than $5 billion rate organized retail crime (ORC) as a top-three business challenge (RILA). The role of retail loss prevention staff is also changing, as they become more of a strategic business partner, in addition to their traditional roles of detecting, deterring, and apprehending external and internal theft suspects. This panel will bring together industry and law enforcement experts who will provide insight into how technology, best practices, and partnerships can impact this growing problem. Learning Objectives: 1. Learn to understand the entire business operation, so that LP executives can add value and elevate their role within the organization. 2. Carefully evaluate the tools and technologies available in LP and build hard value ROI on the tools being implemented. 3. Showcase perspectives from LP industry leaders who are at various stages in their careers and give attendees insight on what is impacting them today and how they have been able to affect change outside of LP's typical role in the organization.
