Design and Evaluation of Physical Protection Systems, 2nd Ed, Mary Lynn Garcia, CPP™, Elsevier/Butterworth-Heinemann

Mary Lynn Garcia, one of America’s most knowledgeable experts on physical protection systems, has thoroughly updated her classic 2001 book with new material and information on technical advances in security engineering, a field she helped to establish. Design and Evaluation of Physical Protection Systems: Second Edition, covers new threat capabilities, including weapons of mass destruction and hate crime groups in the U.S. All the technology chapters have been reviewed and updated, particularly the sections on emerging entry control and exterior intrusion sensor technologies. References to Vulnerability Assessment of Physical Protection Systems link the two volumes at a high level. A new chapter on the challenges of executive protection, transportation systems, and cyber security threats was added; the material on threat definition and neutralization was extensively updated, and complete coverage of the major changes to incident response handling is examined.

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
David G. Patterson, CPP™, PSP™, ASIS International

The purpose of this book is to guide security professionals in applying physical protection systems (PPSs). Topics include: the functions of PPSs; the complex subject of project management, including modern management principles that help managers accomplish projects on time and under budget; the important precepts of designing PPSs and preparing the specifications that will be sent to potential bidders during the procurement phase; the process of procurement, including the use of requests for proposals, sole source agreements, and invitations for bids; installation issues and the development of operating procedures; and discussion of the importance of maintenance and maintenance contracts in keeping PPSs operating effectively. You will also learn which concepts to consider regarding evaluation and eventual replacement of PPSs. This book will be of interest to anyone involved in executing a physical protection system.
