A Hotel Security Conference 2007 was held in Singapore with the Senior Minister of State for Law and Home Affairs of Singapore addressing the public, and highlighting the need to enhance building security especially hotels.
Ho (2007) has specially mentioned in this forum the usage and to incorporate CPTED considerations in future building or redevelopment plans, and as early as possible in all building design plan. He further mentioned that this approach will make security and criZXCxcsDDvcwvme prevention activity much more effective in the long term. However, based on the recent raised in incidents pertaining to hotels, just by using the CPTED, it might not be sufficient since the focus of CPTED is to target and prevent theft and theft related issues. As the ever-increasing amount of terrorists attacks taking place around the world, terrorist’s threats must be consider into the design for modern days hotels as well to ensure sufficient protection and safety for the hotels guests.
Suyder (n.d) might have correctly pointed out that, there is probably no one in this world that could accurately point out the exact date and actions of the first ever terrorists attack that ever taken place. However, Lehrman (2006) pointed out that the terrorist attack on the United States on September 2001 is probably one of the worse in the history of terrorists with such huge amount of casualties. This incident surely created much fear and awareness around the world and it is the wakeup call for people, organizations, and governments around the world that there is a serious need for better security not only to against the daily theft and unauthorized intrusions but also against terrorist attacks that could take place anywhere, any time that m...

To suit the ever-changing security landscape and to uphold the ever-important protection of lives, information and property as it is important that continual improvement is continuous on going through further research and development. This study could be the significant start of other further better security plans and protection concept.
Terrorism – This is a word that many people are terrified of. When a terrorist attack occurs, people’s daily routines are shattered. Things change instantaneously the moment the bomb goes of. When we think about a terrorist attack that really impacted the world, we immediately think about 9/11. On that day many people were hurt directly and indirectly. People were disorientated and scared. The moment there is change, the world panics. Unfortunately, 9/11 was not the only day where people panicked. On 1988, the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 occurred. This terrorist attack was not as massive as 9/11; but, it did leave scares especially to the Syracuse University community.
April 19, 1995 at 9:02, in Oklahoma City a bomb exploded; destroying buildings, injuring and killing innocent citizens. Many questions of the city would go unanswered; including who made it, who didn’t, along with who did it and why. All of these citizens deserve answers to the simple questions. The world was in shock and worried about what was going to happen next. This terrorist attack would then be noted as the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
Physical and environmental security programs are generally considered to be a collection of mechanisms and controls put into place that help ensure the availability of information technology capabilities. These programs protect an organization from fire, flood, theft, power failure, intentional, and even unintentional damage through negligence. Implementation of these programs at the organizational level can take place in a number of ways but most organizations choose to follow the application of a body of standards, usually set forth by an organization such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Once such body of standards put forth by ISO/IEC is 27002, Information technology – Security techniques – Code of practice for information secur...

Since the events of September 11, 2011, Americans and much of the world are afraid. Americans are at war with terrorism and no longer feel comfortable.

There is a lot of complexity in understanding risk management and its correlation to homeland security. Risk management is a way to approach the fact that securing the homeland is not certain and there are unknown variables in every aspect of life; risk management is a way to narrow down the focus based on quantifiable information determining probability against capability. Risk management plays and integral role in homeland security. Risk management is employed using a formula described in the NIPP for establishing a narrow scope to make the best decision about protecting infrastructure. The risk management formula lays down the foundation to make the most reasonable determination based on the potential consequences, vulnerability, and
Airport security has changed since September 11, but this change is not always a good thing. One of the major changes that has taken place in airport security is more searches are being done.
