“Corporate security has become a high-profile issue since the events of September 11, 2001 exposed America’s vulnerability to terrorist attack. Because roughly 80 percent of America’s critical infrastructure is managed by the private sector, corporate security managers have an essential role to play in the protection of key industries and the people who work in them.”
— Thomas E. Cavanagh (Corporate Security Management)
