Benchmarking
Survey Requests Participation
Benchmarking against similar organizations can provide
security professionals with powerful tools to both analyze their own
department’s performance and to gain support from upper management.
Since there are no universal standards for security programs,
benchmarking provides one of the only reliable ways to measure a
program’s effectiveness. It shows upper management how the company
stacks up against similar organizations, which can help the security
department gain influence in the business and gain support for new
programs or underfunded initiatives.
The Security Executive Council’s International Security Research
Database helps develop benchmarks in a variety of areas to enable
security leaders to measure the performance and business value of their
security programs by comparing them to others across the globe.

contactless payment solutions, mobile financial services, secure
physical and digital access and the expanding world of secure

Mental Health
Addressed At Annual College Security Summit
Mental-health experts have encouraged college
officials to create campus atmospheres where mental illnesses are
regarded the same as other medical issues: as treatable and not
shameful.
The deadly shootings at Virginia Tech a year ago have brought attention
to mental illness among students, along with deficiencies in colleges'
emergency plans.
About 200 college officials convened recently at the University of
Central Oklahoma for the second National Campus Security Summit, where
experts in law enforcement, mental health, education and the law offered
advice on how to make campuses safer, according to Tulsa World.

brought into their organizations.

flash drives for work-related purposes. However, when asked to estimate
what percentage of the workforce uses personal flash drives, corporate
IT respondents said only 35 percent.
