The Corporate Manager’s Security Handbook by Mr. Anthony R. Williams is a must read for new managers and a re-enforcement of basic security essentials for today’s business community. Security is the keystone of every business in our present world economy. It is short, informative, and to the point. I also like the Case In Point segments, which were drawn from Mr. Williams’ own experiences, making them more meaningful.

The Security Manager’s Handbook written by Mr. Anthony R. Williams, is a masterpiece of collective experiences, hands on experiences, and the best practice of the 21st Century security standards. As a former Physical Security Specialist and Fraud Investigator, I must admit this handbook highlights the methodologies and technologies of the security industry. This is a revolutionary approach to security management and standard operational procedures. In an era of corporate espionage, trade secret disclosures, and larceny, this book provides the fundamental steps to understanding the field of corporate security. As Mr. Williams stated security is the responsibility of every employee, not just the Security Manager. As it pertains to Security Strategies, it is imperative upon the Operational Manager, to understand and be a stakeholder for its implementation. I agree that any violation of security procedures should result in disciplinary action and be documented, to instill a culture of prevention. Mr. Williams presented a list of major company activities that was realistic, understandable, and should be adopted into any security procedures. To lead by example, emphasizes how all levels of management should take the seriousness of the security procedures, and do use their position for nonconformity. Mr. Williams identified locations where Intelligence Gathering occurs, to expose all employees to the where withal of changing the subject of their conversations to non-related company talk when not on company property. Mr. Williams speaks to the concept of operation security, which encompasses personnel, property, and data to be adhered with no exceptions. This book is an uncryptic assortment of security information that will provide education, knowledge, and wisdom at your fingertips.

Security is not an end in and of itself. Security must be an integrated component of a company’s success. The Corporate Security Manager’s Handbook illustrates in an understandable form how security, through security awareness, must be incorporated in corporation processes. Anthony R. Williams gives many examples from a practical standpoint, and in this manner turns this handbook into a useful textbook for security specialist and everyone in a company that is responsible for security protocols and processes.
