Ce înseamnă BEng ?

Licenţa în Inginerie (de obicei se utilizează abreviaţia BE sau BEng = Bachelor of Engineering) este o diplomă de licenţă academică acordată unui student după studiile de inginerie de la universităţile acreditate. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BEng)

Ce înseamnă MSyl ?

Dreptul de a utiliza literele MSyI (Member of Security Institute) după numele unei persoane, se obţine urmare a validării cererii de aderare ca membru deplin la asociaţia profesională Security Institute din Marea Britanie.

Calitatea de membru este pentru persoane fizice nu pentru companii, şi oferă o gamă largă de beneficii. Angajatorii sunt de acord, de asemenea, că statutul de membru al Security Institute oferă încredere atunci sunt aleşi candidaţii pentru funcţii de securitate în cadrul companiilor.
Toate cererile de aderare la Security Institute sunt analizate de către Consiliul de validare, al cărui membrii sunt numiţi de către Consiliul Director.
O echipă de profesionişti cu înaltă calificare în domeniul securităţii ia în considerare natura şi amploarea experienţei aplicantului şi determină validitatea calificărilor în domeniul securităţii deţinute de acesta. Consiliul de validare apoi recomandă fiecare solicitant într-o categorie adecvată de membru, pentru examinare şi aprobare de către Consiliul Director.
 
Security Institute îşi propune să ridice profesionalismul profesioniştilor de securitate, atât în Marea Britanie cât şi pe plan internaţional.

Risk Analysis and the Security Survey, 3rd Ed, James F. Broder, CPP™, Butterworth-Heinemann

Security and risk management are principally concerned with the protection and conservation of corporate assets and resources. The task of protection continues to be an increasingly complex one in a time when technology is creating new products (and thus risks) at an explosive rate. Add this to the crime rate - now aggravated by domestic and international terrorism - and the importance of risk analysis and evaluation to design proper protection becomes self-evident.
With an awareness of the growing threat of global terrorism, the third edition of Risk Analysis And The Security Survey has been completely updated. It includes two new chapters covering disaster recovery planning, mitigation, and the evolving methodologies that are a result of the Homeland Security Act. The following topics are discussed throughout the book: contingency planning, testing of disaster response plan, managing during a crisis, maintaining and testing a response plan (team drills, etc.), bomb threats and suicide bombings, and prevention techniques to better prepare businesses for new post 9/11 security risks. This new edition is an essential resource for security students and professionals.




Army Physical Security Field Manual, FM 3-19.30 (Excerpted), Department of the Army

ASIS has excerpted portions of the U.S. Army Physical Security Field Manual, FM 3-19.3 to accommodate those individuals who are studying for the Physical Security Professional (PSP™) exam. This field manual is the basic reference for training security personnel. It is intended to be a "one-stop" physical security source for the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of the Army (DA), and other proponents and agencies of physical security. However, the relevant principles of physical security are true in any application. Prevention and protection are the two primary concerns of physical security. Both serve the security interests of people, equipment, and property. Challenges relative to physical security include the control of populations, information dominance, multinational and interagency connectivity, antiterrorism, and the use of physical-security assets as a versatile force multiplier. The Field Manual addresses these concerns. Note: The PSP™ examination covers all sections of the field manual except: Chapter 1, Appendix A, Appendix D, Appendix G, Appendix I, Appendix J, and Appendix K




Implementing Physical Protection Systems: A Practical Guide
