POA also serves as a central reference for students pursuing a program in security or asset protection.ĭIALOGUE We hope that Protection of Assets becomes an important source of professional insight for those who read it and that it stimulates serious dialogue between and among security professionals. Of particular significance are the various forms, matrices, and checklists that give the reader a practical start toward application of the security theory to his or her own situation. The coherent discussion and pertinent reference material in each subject area should help the reader conduct unique research that is effective and organized. READERSHIP Protection of Assets is intended for a wide readership: all security professionals and business managers with asset protection responsibility. Protection of Assets Copyright © 2012 by ASIS International The objective is to provide a source document where information on any protection problem can be obtained. The writers, peer reviewers, and editors attempt to distill from the available data, common or recurrent characteristics, trends, and other factors, which identify or signal valid protection strategies. It is, therefore, a fundamental objective of Protection of Assets to draw upon as large a qualified source base as can be developed. Of course, it would be presumptuous to assume that any small group of authors could present such material unaided. The growing size and frequency of all forms of asset losses, coupled with the related increasing cost and complexity of countermeasures selection, demand a systematic and unified presentation of protection doctrine in all relevant areas, as well as standards and specifications as they are issued. The need for such a comprehensive resource is quite widespread according to the editors, writers, and many professional colleagues whose advice has been sought in compiling this text. OBJECTIVES OF PROTECTION OF ASSETS Protection of Assets (POA) is intended for a security professional to find current, accurate, and practical treatment of the broad range of asset protection subjects, strategies, and solutions in a single source.
