81-571 Private Security Management

The Internet Age has created borderless organizations in the 21st century. This is allowing organizations to do business across international borders. However, this is also creating security problems for organizations. Security is defined as guarding against unauthorized access to private property. Typically organizations have three specialized areas that require security: physical, operational, and intellectual property. Security, typically, is achieved by coordinating efforts in each of the three areas by developing proper strategies and plans and managing them in a controlled environment. This course is an overview of principles and issues in security management. Students examine the challenges embodied in various aspects of security mentioned above. Planning for loss prevention and the protection of assets are examined. Students employ the use of situational analysis, case studies, and other research oriented approaches.
