New Study Asks
SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2003

What Price Security?

Corporate ASIS INTERNATIONAL HAS teamed with
The Conference Board to research, create,
America’s and release a new report, Corporate Security
Management: Organization and Spending Since
spending on 9/11. In a process termed “evolution rather
security in than revolution,” the report states, corpo-
rate America’s overall spending on security
response to in response to terrorism has increased only
modestly.
terrorism has The report shows that the median in-
increased only crease in security spending is 4 percent
since September 2001. Only 7 percent of

their security spending dramatically—by
50 percent or more. The businesses most
likely to have permanently increased their
security spending are those in six “critical
infrastructure” industries—transportation,
energy and utilities, financial services,
media and telecommunications, informa-
tion technology, and healthcare.
The study is based on a cross-country
survey of more than 331 business security
directors, risk managers and information
technology security officers. More than half
of the companies covered in the study gen-
erate more than $1 billion per year in sales.
“While nobody knows how much secu-
rity spending is enough, there are legitimate
concerns about corporate vulnerability,”
says Tom Cavanagh, The Conference
Board’s expert on security issues and au-
thor of the report. “Since about 80 percent
of America’s critical infrastructure is con-
trolled by the private sector, says Cavanagh,
“corporate security managers will play an
increasingly vital role in protecting key in-
dustries and the people who work in them
and are based near them.”
“A four percent median increase in se-
curity spending seems counterintuitively
small in light of our concerns about ter-
ror,” says Daniel H. Kropp, CPP, president
of ASIS International. He adds, however,
that “whether corporate spending on secu-
rity is adequate can’t be judged nationally,
but only by comparing it against the level
of threat and the degree of risk faced by
an individual company in an individual
industry in a selected location.” Further-

Councils
Ties That Bind
IN RECENT MONTHS, THE ASIS
International Law Enforcement
Liaison Council has been actively
promoting Operation Cooperation,
a national initiative to encourage
partnerships between law enforce-
ment and private security.
This collaboration has proven
beneficial in preventing and solving
crimes, as documented in the
booklet Operation Cooperation, writ-
ten by the Institute for Law and
Justice and the Hallcrest Division
of Science Applications Interna-
tional Corporation and supported
by a grant from the Bureau of Jus-
tice Assistance. (The booklet is
available at www.asisonline.org,
and from ASIS Member Services
at 703/519-6200.)

of the Redmond, Washington, Po-

tion Cooperation at the Los Angeles
Police Department and at a private
security conference. In June, in Sun
Valley, Idaho, former ASIS Presi-
dent Raymond F. Humphrey, CPP,
and Council Member Charles P.
Connolly, CPP, made a presenta-
tion on the program to a joint
meeting of chiefs from the 50 larg-
est U.S. police departments and the
National Executive Institute Associ-
ates—a private, nonprofit, public
service foundation comprised of
more than 400 graduates of the
FBI’s National Executive Institute.
At both talks, the fundamental
value of public law enforcement
and private security liaison and
joint programs was stressed.
The presentations were “very
well received,” says Michael D.
Gambrill, chairman of the council
and senior vice president of indus-
try and government affairs for
Dunbar Armored, Inc. Gambrill
notes that the path to cooperation
has not always been clear, adding
that the hurdles have been break-
ing down territoriality and un-
healthy competition between law
enforcement and security. Council
representatives will make another
presentation on the program later
in the year at the International
Association of Chiefs of Police
(IACP) Conference in Philadelphia.
At the recent ASIS Leadership
Meeting in Las Vegas, Gambrill
spoke to the Society’s regional
vice presidents. He encouraged
them to ask the chapters in their
area to focus one meeting per year
on cooperation-building initiatives
with invited local law enforcement
representatives.
The council has also been
working with the Host Chapter
Committee for the ASIS 49th
Annual Seminar and Exhibits in
New Orleans to arrange the event’s

In Brief
Military Employee Support
TO MAKE SURE that members of
the National Guard and Reserves
and their families do not suffer
economic hardship because of
their active-duty status, active
support from employers is now
being sought by the National
Committee for Employer Support
of the Guard and Reserves (ESGR),
formerly a mediating organization
that serves mainly as a liaison be-
tween employers and their mili-
tary employees.
Since the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001, President George
W. Bush and Congress have en-
acted legislative measures to mobi-
lize more than 300,000 national
guardsmen and reservists. With this
massive call to service comes im-
mense strain on the nation’s em-
ployers to maintain the efficiency
of their businesses without the
help of their military employees.
An outpouring of patriotism
among public and private employ-
ers has eased the tensions some-
what. For example, when a truck
driver who earned $50,000 a year
was recalled to the Virginia Na-
tional Guard, he took a salary cut
of more than 50 percent. Within
weeks, he and his family were in
serious financial trouble. The
guardsman called ESGR for help.
An ESGR representative met with
the company CEO, explaining the
employee’s financial situation. The
agreed to pay the driver the dif-
ference between his civilian and
military salary for 60 days and
continued full medical coverage
for the family.
At the national level, the ESGR’s
National Committee for Employer
Support of the Guard and Reserves
promotes active recognition and
support for military employees with
6
2:45 PM Page 6
“Statement of Support”
signings. According to Bob
Hollingsworth, executive director of
the committee, “a Statement of Sup-
port serves two very vital functions:
First, it demonstrates the strong
level of support for our Guard and
Reserves, which is important during
this critical time; second, it sends a
clear message to the service mem-
bers that while they are serving
their country, they do not have to
worry about their civilian jobs.”
The Statement of Support initia-
tive is currently in high gear with
signings by XEROX Corporation,
the Society for Human Resource
Management, Southwest Airlines,
Monster.com, and General Motors,
as well as many Fortune 500 cor-
porations and professional and in-
dustry organizations. The coopera-
tion and understanding displayed
by the leaders of this diverse group
is the result of the proactive ap-
proach of employer outreach now
being made by ESGR.
ESGR subcommittees work di-
rectly with area employers to en-
courage support in programs such
as “Briefings with the Boss,” “Boss-
lifts,” speakers bureaus, and em-
ployer appreciation days. Each sub-
committee has conducted Bosslifts
that transport employers on mili-
tary aircraft to military sites to help
them gain an understanding and re-

ASIS International’s video, “The Pro-
fessional Edge,” has been brought up
to date for the new millennium. The

tool for the Society, is available on loan

At a recent Bosslift, employers of guards-
men and reservists were taken into the
field for a first-hand view of what their
employees do outside the office.
spect for the training and missions
their military employees experience
while out of their civilian jobs.
John Dyess, chairman of the
Tennessee ESGR Committee, be-
lieves Bosslifts to be the single
most effective tool in demonstrat-
ing to employers and the media
the importance of the Guard and
Reserves. Dyess said the three most
common responses he receives
from employers returning from a
Bosslift are: “‘I had no idea how
important the Guard and Reserves
were in the overall military strat-
egy,’ ‘I had no idea of the good
training my employees get in the
military,’ and ‘I had no idea what
my employees did when they went
off to serve in the military.’”
America must support the mis-
sion of the military as it protects
our nation and assists others. The
men and women of the Guard and
Reserves must also have the confi-
dence of their employers and the
nation. The National ESGR Com-
mittee and its 55 subcommittees are
standing by and are eager to assist
the employers of guardsmen and
reservists. For more information

The Good Fight
T
he National Capital Chapter’s
Terrorist Activities Subcommittee
recently sponsored the Counter-
ing Terrorism Seminar. The full-
day educational event was held at the
Gannett Company’s headquarters in
Tysons Corner, Virginia. Each of the
sessions—presented by experts from
around the country—was related to
some aspect of critical infrastructure
(CI) protection.
Leading off was Dexter Ingram,
threat assessment specialist and data-
base editor at the Heritage Foundation.
Beginning with the Patriot Act’s defini-
tion of CI and the national strategy for
protecting it, he laid the foundation for
the lineup to follow. Ingram noted two
types of CI threats—physical attacks
against real property and cyberattacks
against the technologies that operate
and manage CI. Ingram also com-
mented on the complexity of the issue,
reminding attendees that 85 percent of
the CI is privately owned. Nonetheless,
all these infrastructure industries are
interdependent, which requires a na-
tional approach to their protection.
Ingram also discussed current and
future CI protection policy issues, such
as information sharing and what details
should be protected or disclosed, the
need for states to reallocate resources
to include homeland security, communi-
cations interoperability among first re-
sponders, international collaboration,

Prosecuting Attorney, spoke to the
group about case preparation and
combating drugs.
The Louisville Chapter wel-
comed guest speaker Malcolm
Franklin, director of the Kentucky
Division of Emergency Manage-
ment. In his presentation, he
touched on many aspects of emer-
gency management, including dis-
aster reimbursement, search and
rescue, state and county response
plans, and the destruction of
and the balance between maintaining
the public’s confidence while “realisti-
cally describing the public risk.”
The next speaker, who discussed
specific threats to a number of CIs, in-
cluding energy and transportation,
was Edward Badolato, executive vice
president for homeland security with
The Shaw Group. He stressed the im-
portance of a thorough vulnerability
assessment that takes into account the
infrastructure processes at hand. For
example, a risk management expert
not schooled in how oil is refined may
not understand the deadly properties
of components and by-products.
According to Badolato, there are
two approaches for conducting vulner-
ability assessments: The asset-based
approach focuses on targeted assets,
and the scenario-based approach as-
sesses the risk and repercussions of vari-
ous types of attacks. Substations are
probably the most vulnerable compo-
nent of the power grid, he said, because
there are thousands across the country
and because most of the transformers
are custom-made abroad, which would
require two months to be replaced fol-
lowing an incident. However, power
lines remain the number one target of
terrorists, even though they can be re-
placed within days. At dams, the vital
threat is that terrorists will access or
damage the control room, not that the
structure will be damaged by explosives.
Lunchtime brought a fascinating
look at disaster preparedness within
chemical agents.
ASIS RVP Robert Lilje, CPP,
program manager for Modern
Technologies, attended another
meeting of the chapter, where he
discussed plans and activities of
the Society. Another meeting fea-
tured a talk by Frank Dupre, port
director with the U.S. Customs
Service about the Customs Trade
Partnership Against Terrorism.
Special Agent Patrick Davis of
the U.S. Secret Service spoke to the
the national capital region by speaker
Peter LaPorte, director of the District of
Columbia’s Emergency Management
Agency. The director emphasized the
importance of partnerships, problem
solving, and prevention, noting that
the anthrax attacks in 2001 revealed
the need for regional coordination:
One victim lived in Maryland, worked
in the District, and went to a hospital
in Virginia.
Since the attacks, the city has built
strong relationships with agencies in
neighboring states, but LaPorte said that
partnerships remain to be built between
government agencies and the private
sector. For instance, his agency has been
preparing commuter evacuation plans
for businesses, as well as plans to shelter
in place. “It’s about a community ap-
proach,” he said. “Government does not
have all the answers.”
Also during the luncheon, National
Capital Chapter member Mayer Nudell
was honored for his years of service on
the Terrorist Activities Subcommittee,
which he now chairs.
After lunch, there was a look at how
the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)
protects its forces. The speaker was Lars
Warkentien, Ph.D., vulnerability and risk
specialist with the Battelle Memorial In-
stitute. He began by defining CI protec-
tion from the DoD’s perspective in two
words: mission protection.
Although the agency’s process of
risk assessment is similar to that of
the civilian arena, most major military

operations when Bob Swabe, re-
gional director of the Eastern Re-
installations have their own, auton-
omous CIs, said Warkentien. Thus, the
issue of interdependencies with other
businesses, agencies, and so on is not
as much of a concern.
The areas of assessment are quite
similar to those of civilian CIs, includ-
ing elements such as information
gathering, antiterrorism efforts, force
protection, perimeter and facility ac-
cess, fire protection, incident response, proprietary information, that would be
executive personnel protection, and
attention to weapons of mass destruc-
tion. But assessment is only the first
step in the DoD’s CI protection pro-
gram; the others are remediation,
warnings, mitigation, response, and
reconstitution, Warkentien explained.
From the military, the focus moved
to the information technology compo-
nents of the CI, as presented by Don-

could possibly be used as an attack plat-
form. He also informed attendees that
modems are the top entry mechanism
into a company’s network, while poor
passwords are the number one way to
obtain host-level access to a system.
In addition, Hewitt commented on
the information security liabilities that
companies must consider. The first two
are direct liabilities: If a company lost
considered a first-party liability, and if
customer credit card numbers were
stolen, the company would be liable as
a third party, he said. Meanwhile, if
hackers used the company’s platform
for an attack against another entity,
the company would be indirectly liable.
Hewitt stressed the importance of due
diligence in his presentation, telling
attendees, “You will be judged by
how well you prepare
for an attack.” But at

ing information is the creation of a se-

Smith, CPP, senior vice president and

private partnerships to build regional
preparedness. She noted that it is criti-

The First National Bank of
Omaha hosted a meeting of the
Omaha Chapter. James Van Lent,
director of security, provided a
history of the bank and its parent
company and led members on a
tour of the technology center.
Another meeting of the group
centered on choosing access sys-
tems. Earl Truncer, district sales
manager for Ingersoll-Rand, was
the featured speaker. He compared
cal that organizations look “outside
the fence” and consider interdepen-
dencies with other businesses and
agencies, including supply lines. For in-
stance, a gasoline-powered generator
will do little good in a long-term elec-
tric outage if the fuel distributor’s dis-
aster response plans dictate that it shut
down operations.
One of the strongest tools for devel-
oping the regional partnerships and
cooperation necessary for protecting
the CI are tabletop exercises and other
scenario-based efforts that bring to-
gether players at all levels and from
all sectors. An important point, said
Scalingi, is to let stakeholders design
the scenario so that they can commu-
nicate their individual concerns. How-
ever, doing so can simultaneously be a
stumbling block, requiring the services
of a skilled mediator during and after
the exercise.
“Everyone comes in with their own
priorities, perspectives, and interests,”
said Scalingi. “You have to facilitate
[the process] after raising their aware-
ness about interdependencies.”
Even more problematic is that after
such scenario-based exercises, the
momentum of the experience is often
lost because participants—who now
have a better understanding of the
deficiencies in their organizations—
must return to request resources from
the top, said Scalingi.

What Price Security?
continued from page 1
“throwing money at a problem isn’t
going to solve it. Given our nation’s
knowledge and experience at the
time, it’s hard to imagine the secu-
rity system that would have pre-
vented what happened on 9-11, or
that can protect us from every
possible threat today.”
While many security experts
anticipated a widespread move to
centralize security operations in
the wake of terrorist actions, the
study found that most companies
have not changed the way they
manage security. Only 24 percent
of them have centralized security
responsibility in a chief security
officer and few apparently are in-
terested in creating this relatively
new position. Most companies
employ less than 50 people to
oversee all their security needs,
though many use outside security
consultants and guard forces to
augment their staffs.
The study also found soaring
increases in corporate spending
for insurance and risk manage-
ment. It reports that median
spending for these two business
essentials are up 33 percent. About
20 percent of the companies say
their insurance costs have at least
doubled since 2001.
The current corporate financial
environment is still marked by
tight budgets and widespread cost
cutting. Virtually all new company
spending is being directed only at
revenue-generating projects. Says
Cavanagh, “There are only two
sources of funds to expand secu-
rity spending—corporate money or
government funds and incentives.
Business leaders are reluctant to
spend more on security when they
don’t see it contributing directly to
their bottom lines.”
Marene Allison, an ASIS Inter-
national member and director of
security for Avaya, Inc., explains
that corporations that are manag-
ing security differently may in

some cases be spending little
more or even less than they were
spending before September 11.
“You sometimes can accomplish a
great deal,” she says, “by thor-
oughly reviewing your vulnerabil-
ities, policies, and procedures and
making necessary changes. That is
not always a substitute for invest-
ment in additional personnel and
equipment,” she adds, “but cre-
ativity sometimes can help im-
prove security without increasing
costs dramatically.”
Resources needed. While top
security executives generally be-
lieve they have adequate control
over security decisions in their
firms, many say they don’t have
enough financial resources to do
their jobs. Only 26 percent of the
security directors, 19 percent of
the risk managers, and 14 percent
of the information technology se-
curity chiefs strongly agree that
their departments are adequately
financed.
Don W. Walker, CPP, a former
ASIS president, currently chairman
of Securitas Security Services,
USA, Inc., and a leading security
consultant to corporations, says,
“The ideal mix of resources for
improving security includes expe-
rienced, imaginative, and resource-
ful security directors; corporate
leadership willing to invest hard
dollars in security; and government
willing to step in with financial
and policy incentives where neces-
sary in order to protect critical
infrastructures. ”
The Conference Board study
also shows that:
Most high-level security execu-
tives come from the law enforce-
ment community (47 percent) or
served in the military (33 percent)
before joining their companies.
Most top corporate security ex-
ecutives hold titles below the vice
presidential level and earn less
than $150,000 per year. Only 9
percent report directly to their
company’s CEO.
While median security spend-

ing is up about 9 percent in New
York, Boston, and key cities in the
Northeast, it has risen less than 3
percent in other parts of America.
The Conference Board is an in-
dependent, not-for-profit research
and business membership net-
work, with more than 2,000 cor-
porate members in 66 nations.
The Conference Board’s studies
on economic trends and manage-
ment practices are widely fol-
lowed by business leaders, gov-
ernment policy makers, and
media. It produces a wide range
of economic barometers that have
an impact on financial markets,
including the Leading Economic
Indicators, the Consumer Confi-
dence Index and the Business
Confidence Index. ASIS sponsored
