Chapter Member needs your help!
Greetings all!
This message is from a member looking for
your assistance.
Hello!
I am a quarter century member of ASIS as
well as Chicago Chapter (not very active). Good luck with the golf outing
and my best to Dick Norwood! The outings were a lot of fun in the "early
days".
I am looking for some information—
Photos of lobbies containing guard desk,
x-ray machine and metal detector. Not the industrial-type setting, but
more the "office /lobby/building" setting. "How to be
secure and aesthetically pleasing".
Purpose: getting ideas for a new space.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you!

FTC
postpones looming Red Flags Rule compliance deadline
|
|
By Daniel Gelinas

WASHINGTON—The
Federal Trade Commission, which works for consumers to prevent fraudulent,
deceptive, and unfair business practices, on May 28 announced it would grant a
seven-month extension on Red Flags Rule compliance. Security Systems News
earlier covered a CSAA-sponsored
webinar
that educated alarm company executives on how identity theft and the Red Flags
Rule could possibly impact their business. The compliance deadline was
originally set for June 1, 2010. The new compliance deadline is December 31.
A call to the
FTC Public Affairs office for more on what prompted the extension was referred
back to the agency's press release.
"At the request
of several Members of Congress, the Federal Trade Commission is further
delaying enforcement of the 'Red Flags' Rule through December 31, 2010, while
Congress considers legislation that would affect the scope of entities covered
by the Rule," the FTC press release reads.
CSAA VP
marketing & programs Celia Besore released the following statement to
Security Systems News. "The Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) and
the Alarm Industry Communications Committee (AICC) support the further delay in
enforcing the rules and believe the applicability of the rules should be more
narrowly tailored."
Compliance has
been postponed a number of times. The Red Flags Rule actually became effective
on January 1, 2008, with full compliance for all covered entities originally
required by November 1, 2008. The FTC has issued several enforcement policies
delaying enforcement of the Rule, according to the release. Most recently, the
FTC announced in October 2009 that at the request of certain members of
Congress, it was delaying enforcement until June 1, 2010. Since then, the
Commission has received another request from Members of Congress for another
delay in enforcement of the Rule till Dec. 31, 2010.

The ASIS IT Security Council
recently completed a Whitepaper entitled "Cloud Computing and Software As a
Service (SaaS): An Overview for Security Professionals". I'd like to let
the Chicago Chapter members know that they can download the whitepaper at http://www.asisonline.org/councils/documents/CloudComputingFinal.pdf. For members who are interested in more information
on the subject, a webinar will be jointly presented by members of the IT
Security Council and the Physical Security Council on June 23rd.
The following is a link to the details of the webinar.
https://www.asisonline.org/store/program_detail.xml?id=111969894
Here is an introductory description
of the whitepaper:
The traditional
electronic security industry, whose origins are rooted in the burglar alarm, is
now moving very rapidly toward more complex networked systems and information
management. Much discussion has occurred about the role of IT and physical
security and the need to work closely together to manage and deliver efficient
and risk appropriate security systems for the benefit of organizations. Much of
this discussion has occurred around the developing framework for enterprise
security risk management and convergence.
As the security and
reliability of the Internet and the services offered over it matures, there is
a movement toward shared services. Some of the shared services are manifested
in technology offerings that have such characteristics as fast implementation,
reduced operational expense, and a multi-tenant model sharing common computing
resources. The common terminology for this is Cloud Computing, and it is
explained in this paper.
A discussion within
the security domain is evolving around how Cloud Computing, which has a distinctly
different technology and business model (than traditional physical security
technologies), might be utilized to deliver security services and applications.
The discussion includes such security topics as continuity, reliability, and
compliance; and what the associated risk profile and business benefits are in
considering such a proposition.
