School shooters, date rape, binge drinking, burglary, shoplifting, HIPAA, FERPA, network hacking, identity theft, cyber crime, bullying, etc.
Faced with critical security related issues, like the horrifying school shootings and the theft of sensitive data, institutional managers and administrators are looking for improved ways of enhancing their campus security. Technology and management issues are utilizing an increasingly converged approach to safety, security and information. The teaming of the physical security/police and IT groups is a daunting task. Combining security tools on campus networks, uniting security and data system goals, effectual and regular training regiments, while learning to expand safety within limited health, safety, and welfare budgets in an efficient and effective way are fast becoming "must dos".
The convergence of cyberspace and physical security is only a problem until the campus teams can and will work together. Only when the proper leadership and procedures are implemented can an attack be preempted at its first signs, saving life, property and information. It takes a top-down management process that can lead to a new level of proactive emergency response.
Kendall Design Group now has the unique expertise in-house to assist in executing the right solution, the first time. Our team works with the administration and the community to answer the most important question: how will a new security initiative protect the lives, health, and personal data of the most precious resource of the institution...its people?
