Are Your Assets Secure?

With the recent security breach at a State Dinner I wonder how secure our assets are when the Secret Service, has a major human failure.  When two interlopers can breach a secure area, passing two seperate human security agents and reach the President of the United States at a State function it is time to rethink our security processes. Is your organization secure?  Do you have adequate access control measures?  Are your assest mission critical?  Are visitors challenged appropriately to ensure they have proper credentials and and are on official business? Do you have a reactive or proactive security in place? Are false alrms a significan problem?

How effective is the message for personal and business preparedness when it is limited to a 30 second sound byte? With more and more emphasis on community and business resliency is the message effective, and are we meeting stated goals?  Most communications in either verbal or written form is too abreviated to be effective and provides little guidance to be effective for personal and business preparedness.  If we really want to achieve community resiliency and improve emergency and disaster preparedness, a comprehesive approach through networking and resource development needs to take place.  The effort expended now will pay off tremendously when a disaster strikes.
