On Feb. 9 in Miramar, Florida, IAPSC member Randy Atlas, Ph.D., FAIA, CPP, will give a presentation discussing active shooters in buildings and conflicts between security goals of lock down and shelter in place, and safety concerns of inappropriate hardware that prevents access to rooms from law enforcement and EMS, thus resulting in Life Safety Code violations.
By Richard Sem, CPP, CSC
In recent years, after working with dozens of hospitals and clinics across the U.S., I’ve identified trends, and related best practices, regarding healthcare security and especially the prevention, mitigation and response to violence. When I interview staff, from nurses and registrars to CEO’s, the concern over violence always arises. Too often aggressive, threatening and assaultive behavior by patients and family members is shrugged off as hazards of the job that nobody can do anything about.

In North Texas, a severe weather system spun off several tornadoes, including an EF-4 tornado that caused widespread destruction. Meanwhile, the snow and rain from heavy winter storms in the northern U.S. overwhelmed rivers and tributaries, causing flooding along the Mississippi River in Missouri and Mississippi.

Federal agents and police are turning Levi's Stadium into a near fortress for Super Bowl 50, and in San Francisco they are walling off the main venue for pregame festivities with fences and metal detectors to deter would-be saboteurs. But they warn that the crowded city streets and public transit lines remain exposed targets. With terrorist attacks in San Bernardino and Paris still fresh on the minds of citizens around the world, security experts in the Bay Area have been beefing up efforts to see that the nation's most high-profile sporting event comes off without trouble.

According to the findings of Cisco's Annual Security Report, organizations worldwide seem to be increasingly less confident in their ability to effectively fend off the myriad threats they face from cyber-attackers. In fact, the study found that just over half of security professionals strongly believe they can detect security weaknesses before they become full-blown incidents and only 45 percent were confident in their ability to determine the scope of a network compromise and mitigate the damage.
