The Secret to Being Safe and Secure – Is a Puppy G Doug Haines uess what, the secret is in the process or formula to getting se- curity right. If you don’t follow it you won’t be safe or secure. THREE BASIC REALITIES Security must be in place be- fore the event occurs. You can’t protect against all threats. And protection from one threat will offer protection from a variety of others. First, before the event occurs. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard someone say, “Well I’ll get a camera system if I get broken in to”. How dumb. There won’t be anything else that they come back for because they’ve already took your valu- ables, stupid. Second, it is just too costly to provide protection from everything. If you were to try, you would have to cre- ate a solid lead box without a door that can’t be moved. If it can be moved, given enough time, someone will break into it.

the owner can’t get into in the first place. And thirdly, protec- tion from one risk will provide protection from other risks. For example, a laminated glass windowwill keep shards from a bomb blast from injuring people and it will also keep a burglar from breaking in. THE RISK FORMULA The formula is comprised of three factors; asset criticality, the threat and vulnerabilities. Asset criticality is just that, how critical is it to you or your stated function. Asset critical- ity is affected by a variety of factors, a couple being direct support to what you do or lack of redundancy somewhere else. You can affect asset criticality by recreating redundancy of
services/products or function at a second location that won’t be effected by a hazard at the first location. But the bottom- line is do you have something that someone else might want? The threat is the threat. It can be either natural or man- made. I bet you can come up with, and in pretty short order, about 50 or so threats. Natural hazards, of course include hur- ricanes/high winds, rain/snow, earthquakes, and the like, and here in California – fire. This is a great segway, into man-made threats, which include; fire/ar- son, criminal activity including terrorist attack, burglary, and vandalism and so on.
