Most look at security as mere functionality. Beyond that, most also look to technology alone in addressing various security issues. A true holistic approach sees that there is both strategy and even art to a comprehensive security approach, one that also includes human factors, not simply technological ones.
What are the physical risks, data risks and reputational risks that you should be aware of in creating a more comprehensive approach to your museum's security? In addition, what are some of the points of vulnerability and liability related to staff, volunteers and even patrons of your facility? And finally, what are suggested points of documentation to show not simply due diligence, but "above and beyond" measures you enacted proactively to address these concerns should the undesirable or unthinkable occur?
Join Jeff McKissack of Defense by Design, in-person at the Darl Center for the Arts to discuss these questions and more, like:
-
What are the pros and cons of cameras, alarms and access controls?
-
Why should the physical safety of your people, on and off the clock be of concern?
-
Why is a good story often more effective and dangerous than a gun or knife?
-
What should be the goal as it pertains to mitigating potential onsite protests/protestors at your museum?
-
Why would your museum's data be of interest to potential bad actors?
-
Why is what your people do, post, tweet, record and get "caught on camera" doing important today?
-
How do you more proactively address and mitigate all the above and document that process?

His career began working years ago with an investigative reporter for the national media, focusing on these topics and their human players, both victims and perpetrators alike. What was gleaned from these has been the basis of his career addressing countless professional conferences and conventions, employee groups, state and national associations, and corporate client events.
Jeff has provided continuing education seminars to those in the human resources, risk management, medical, legal, financial, real estate and event planning industries to name a few, and has been a contributing writer to trade publications within these industries as well.
