PRACTICAL DEFENSE MEASURE FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CRIMES THAT THREATEN OFFICE SECURITY--BURGLARY, FIRE ESPIONAGE, RIOTS, INTERNAL THEFT, AND VANDALISM.

Abstract

THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS DEAL WITH THOSE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO BE IDENTIFIED BY THE READER AS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. THESE EXTERNAL SECURITY THREATS INCLUDE SUCH HIGH-PROFILE CRIMES AS BURGLARY, ROBBERY, ARSON, VIOLENCE, AND INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE. THE BOOK'S SECOND SECTION COVERS 'THE ENEMY WITHIN' - OR SOPHISTICATED EMPLOYEE THEFT. DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF EMPLOYEES' CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES WILL GIVE OFFICE MANAGERS INSIGHT INTO LOSS AREAS WHICH ARE OFTEN UNIDENTIFIED. INCLUDED IN THIS SECTION IS A CHAPTER ON COMPUTER SECURITY, AN AREA OF GROWING IMPORTANCE IN TODAY'S BUSINESS WORLD. THE AUTHOR CONCLUDES HIS WORK WITH A SECTION DEVOTED TO 'THE SECURITY FUNCTION.' SECURITY TECHNIQUES WHICH HAVE PROVEN MOST SUCCESSFUL IN IDENTIFYING AND DEFENDING AGAINST PROBLEM AREAS QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY ARE INVESTIGATED AND EVALUATED. SUCH SECURITY TOPICS AS DEVELOPMENT, ASSESSMENT, OPERATION, EQUIPMENT, AND MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES ARE COVERED. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED) (SNI ABSTRACT)
