Contemporary Security Management

Contemporary Security Management, 3^rd Edition teaches security professionals how to operate an efficient security department and how to integrate smoothly with other groups inside and outside their own organizations. Fay demonstrates the specifics of security management—how to organize, plan, develop and manage a security operation, as well as how to identify vulnerabilities and determine the protective resources required to offset threats.

Security professionals share the responsibility for mitigating damage, assisting the return of business continuity, and liaising with local response agencies such as police and fire departments, and emergency responders. At the organizational level, the book addresses budgeting and personnel issues, and offers sound advice on building constructive relationships with organizational peers and company management.
