We envision an education-based, value-driven conversation with your members relative to three primary areas of focus across the Higher Ed landscape of today:
- Security Master Planning: It is not the unplanned incident – it is the preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation of the incident
- The Security of Security: Each access control and surveillance device could potentially impact a threat or network breach
- Force Multiplication: Campus Police and Security Chiefs, along with Campus Emergency Management Directors, continuously search for creative ways to do more with less
