As users' accounts grow and passwords pile up, an overwhelming feeling of security fatigue is threatening cybersecurity best practices.

As fans begin to trickle into Citi Field in New York City, home of the Mets, a room behind center field is already on full alert, monitoring for potential risks that could affect fans, players, employees and property.

Increased awareness of the threat assessment function maximizes reporting increasing the information available to the team to mitigate threats.

Large venues pose unique challenges to security and emergency preparedness. The combination of dense crowds, media visibility and high economic value at such events creates great risk to people, property and reputation. But how do you ensure strong security while also ensuring your patrons and fans still have fun?

Threat assessment, much like any other organizational function, needs to be actively managed and continuously improved. The HSEEP framework offers a strategy for both novice and seasoned teams to monitor progress through documented training.

With so many government agencies and departments involved in security operations abroad (such as eliminating key targets or searching for specific terrorists), the essential flow of information was so slow and clunky that only three operations could be coordinated each month.

For two years after a gunman opened fire inside a Southern California Edison office, corporate security rebuilt and reframed their corporate culture toward active shooter policies.

"Acts of violence such as active shooters aren’t random,” says A. Benjamin Mannes. “From events such as Adam Lanza and Newtown, Nikolas Cruz and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Jin Yu Park at Virginia Tech, and even Jared Loughner, who shot Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, all were planned.”

As the industry moves toward holistic 360-degree security systems to satisfy business needs, security professionals are beginning to appreciate the role of voice in the equation.
