PART

II Basics of Defense In this section, the basic tools used in security and loss prevention are discussed. These range from a theoretical understanding of law, honest risk analysis and surveys, to applied technology in locks, alarms, barriers, and procedures. Other tools include an understanding of contingency planning, insurance, fire protection, and safety. All of these elements make up the foundation on which any good security program is based. These are foundational tools, but it is important for security experts to realize that the applications of these tools can and do change with time. Technology changes, especially computing, have made the 18th century lock a modern card-operated or proximity device. Theories have continued to evolve, with contingency planning now a must for any organization. And even the basic law continues to change as new cases and events are reviewed by the courts.
