From Sept. 19: The Equifax breach that leaked data on 143 million Americans and Canadians was about as disastrous as they come. As Forbes' Thomas Fox-Brewster pointed out last week, it wasn't an isolated incident. Equifax has had problems with security before. And now there's another incident to add to that list.

Business Insider
From Oct. 4: At least 58 people were killed and more than 500 were injured when a gunman opened fire on a densely packed crowd on the Las Vegas Strip recently. The incident is the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. But authorities were quick to point out that they were not labeling the incident an act of terrorism.

From March 8: The TSA isn't any American's favorite agency. They take naked pictures of you and still let about 95 percent of fake bombs and weapons through unnoticed during government audits. But now even the agency's chief watchdog is hopping mad at the TSA. And it has nothing to do with the "freedom pat-downs" we're all so fond of.

From Sept. 6: After terrorist attacks in Berlin, Barcelona, and Charlottesville, Virginia, local officials in three countries were confronted with the same question: Where were the bollards? Bollard is a fancy word for the sturdy posts deployed in and around cities, generally intended to nudge entitled drivers not to park on the sidewalk, drive in bike paths or turn into pedestrian plazas.

From Jan. 24: In the last month, travelers may have noticed a new sign at airports across the country regarding new ID requirements going into effect next year. Beginning Jan. 22, 2018, TSA will begin strict enforcement of Real ID requirements when it comes to domestic air travel. The Real ID Act requires states to update their security measures when it comes to driver's licenses and other forms of identification — and some states simply are not ready for the deadline.

From March 21:
It was a normal day at Ft. Lauderdale's Hollywood International Airport until the shots rang out. Pandemonium ensued. A man was firing a Walther PPS 9mm semi-automatic pistol at travelers in the baggage claim area. The terror lasted a little more than a minute, and then it was over. The shooter was out of ammunition. He laid on the ground and waited to be arrested; meanwhile 11 innocent people also lay on the ground — injured or killed by the bullets.
To say this is the worst-case scenario for your security clients is an understatement. This is the nightmare. And while some facilities are inherently safer than others, the active shooter scenario is indiscriminate — it can touch any facility or vertical market, whether a hardened courthouse, an open house of worship, or a school, corporate campus or airport.

From July 25: Kent Walker, Google's SVP and general counsel, recently delivered a speech that has opened the floodgates for new debates and discussions on cybersecurity. Walker stated that with each new advance in communications, law enforcement agencies have had to adapt and update their legal and technological systems. Today, those challenges warrant an update to the legal framework that was implemented long before the widespread advent of cloud computing.

Campus Safety Magazine
By Randy Atlas, Ph.D., FAIA, CPP — IAPSC Member
Many school and university buildings in the United States have been constructed to achieve an inviting and open campus style, with multiple buildings, multiple entrances and exits, big windows and many opportunities for privacy.
Unfortunately, these design configurations are not conducive to security and lockdown. To address these protection challenges and deter broken windows, burglary and vandalism, school architecture went through a period of fortressing that resulted in schools with almost no windows and produced fortress-like enclaves.
