Your Future in Security and Loss Prevention
Security and Loss Prevention, 2020Co-Authors: Philip P PurpuraAbstract:This chapter discusses security and Loss Prevention in the future and lists trends affecting security and Loss Prevention. Technology has enhanced security in many ways. There are “smart cards” and “smart cameras,” and one will see many more systems and devices that contain “smart security,” that means that never-ending enhanced technology will be built into systems and devices. Future integrated security systems will perform an array of Loss Prevention activities beyond what is accomplished today. The criminal justice profession is one source for research direction for the security and Loss Prevention profession. Currently, the clinical experience model is the research path most frequently followed. Policies and technologies are based primarily on reports from practitioners about what they have found to work or not work. Sharing approaches and programs that seemed to work in one community with another community allows for quick application of successful ideas. It is found that the future direction of training largely depends on organizational needs and objectives, threats and vulnerabilities, technological innovations, and Loss Prevention strategies. Practitioners will need to know how to operate in an environment of new countermeasures and complex systems.

3 – Foundations of Security and Loss Prevention
Security and Loss Prevention, 2020Co-Authors: Philip P PurpuraAbstract:Publisher Summary The challenges of security and Loss Prevention in a complex world have created an intense search among practitioners to seek answers to protection problems. Many fields of study offer answers for the practitioner, and thus, a multidisciplinary approach to the problem of Loss is best. This chapter presents a summary of theories and concepts to illustrate the multidisciplinary nature of security and Loss Prevention and its theoretical foundation. Additionally, there are many security periodicals published by a variety of associations and organizations. Periodicals serve as a platform, not only for the theoretical foundation of the security and Loss Prevention profession, but also to introduce readers to new developments, security strategies and technology, research, laws, issues, professional development, and a host of other topics. There are many perspectives and methods of risk analysis; this chapter presents some perspectives with a basic three-step process of risk analysis. This approach include: conducting a Loss Prevention survey; identifying vulnerabilities; and determining probability, frequency, and cost. This simplified approach will assist the reader and provide a foundation for those who decide to enter “the jungle of risk analysis” and join the fray by studying the literature and differences in terminology, definitions, and methodology.

The Business, Careers, and Challenges of Security and Loss Prevention
Security and Loss Prevention, 2020Co-Authors: Philip P PurpuraAbstract:This chapter describes the security industry and the types of employment available in the security and Loss Prevention vocation with related challenges. The basic definitions are presented as a foundation for an explanation of what this business is about and what it seeks to accomplish. Subsequently it explains the importance of metrics as a way to show the value and performance of security and Loss Prevention. Another important attribute in this business is customer service. The practitioners in this vocation must be mindful of value, performance, and customer service as vital strategies to survive in this business. These strategies are important for both proprietary and contract security organizations. Many services and specialists from the private sector can help the practitioner develop an effective Loss Prevention program. These services and specialists can be proprietary or attainable through outside sources. The national advisory committee on criminal justice standards and goals represented the first national effort to set realistic and viable standards and goals designed to maximize the ability, competency, and effectiveness of the private security industry for its role in the Prevention and reduction of crime. A major emphasis of the report was that all businesses that sell security services should be licensed and all personnel in private security work should be registered.

Loss Prevention at Businesses and Institutions
Security and Loss Prevention, 2020Co-Authors: Philip P PurpuraAbstract:This chapter focuses on security and Loss Prevention for retail businesses, banks and financial businesses, educational institutions, and healthcare institutions. An important factor that can make or break a retail business is the quality of the Loss Prevention program. With a very small profit margin in many retail businesses, Loss Prevention is a necessity for survival. Vulnerability to employee theft, shoplifting, burglary, robbery, fire, and poor safety can cause extensive Losses. In retail businesses, guidelines are often in place to hold managers of stores, departments, and Loss Prevention responsible for shrinkage. When shrinkage becomes a measurable objective in annual reviews and bonus programs, an increased commitment to Loss Prevention can be expected. In addition, the reality of retailing is that those who fail to meet shrinkage goals are likely to be dismissed. Consequently, shrinkage must be kept as low as possible; it is gauged after an inventory, and an accurate inventory is vital. Because retail Loss Prevention is highly dependent on the efforts of all employees, it is important to discuss the realities of human resources problems in retailing. This includes many parttime or temporary employees, inexperienced workers, employees dissatisfied with working conditions, and high turnover. A Loss Prevention training program can reinforce attitudes that result in decreased Losses. Some retail businesses require employees to sign a statement that they understand the Loss Prevention program. This procedure reinforces Loss Prevention programming. As models of appropriate work attitudes and behavior, executives should set a good example and practice what is preached.

a review of the past present and future of the european Loss Prevention and safety promotion in the process industries
Process Safety and Environmental Protection, 2014Co-Authors: Eddy De Rademaeker, H.j. Pasman, Georg Suter, Bruno FabianoAbstract:Abstract In 2013, the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) celebrates its 60th anniversary. EFCE has continually promoted scientific collaboration and supported the work of engineers and scientists in thirty European countries. As for its mission statement, EFCE helps European Society to meet its needs through highlighting the role of Chemical Engineering in delivering sustainable processes and products. Within this organizational framework the Loss Prevention Symposium series, organized throughout Europe on behalf of the Loss Prevention Working Party of the EFCE, represents a fruitful tradition covering a time span of forty years. The tri-annual symposium gathers experts and scientists to seek technical improvements and scientific support for a growingly safer industry and quality of life. Following the Loss Prevention history in this paper, a time perspective on Loss Prevention and its future is presented.

ISSRE - Data Loss Prevention Based on Data-Driven Usage Control
2012 IEEE 23rd International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering, 2012Co-Authors: Tobias Wüchner, Alexander PretschnerAbstract:Inadvertent data disclosure by insiders is considered as one of the biggest threats for corporate information security. Data Loss Prevention systems typically try to cope with this problem by monitoring access to confidential data and preventing their leakage or improper handling. Current solutions in this area, however, often provide limited means to enforce more complex security policies that for instance specify temporal or cardinal constraints on the execution of events. This paper presents UC4Win, a data Loss Prevention solution for Microsoft Windows operating systems that is based on the concept of data-driven usage control to allow such a fine-grained policy-based protection. UC4Win is capable of detecting and controlling data-Loss related events at the level of individual function calls. This is done with function call interposition techniques to intercept application calls to the Windows API in combination with methods to track the flows of confidential data through the system.
