PSP Review Course 3-5 Dec 2018

Happy to meet up with the participants from the Physical Security Professional (PSP) Review Course this afternoon. I look forward to them joining the ranks of the ASIS board certified PSPs.

One of the participants asked about where to get the exam practice questions. You can refer to the ASIS website https://www.asisonline.org/globalassets/certification/documents/psp-practice-exam.pdf for sample exam questions.

There aren’t many available resources on the questions. Anyone knows where to get more practice questions ?

I have personally written some practice questions for CPP exam http://cpp.dexyuan.com and PSP exam http://psp.dexyuan.com . I hope it helps the aspiring CPPs and PSPs in their preparation for the exam. Theses questions are still work in progress. If you have good practice questions for suggestion, please share with me and I can consider including it in the question bank.

Lastly, look out for the upcoming CPP Review Course conducted by ASIS International (Singapore Chapter) http://www.asis-singapore.org.sg/ in 2019.

What is the Future of Physical Security ?

This should be the most important question in 2018 for all Physical Security Professionals.

This year, there were many articles written about how security managers can leverage on technologies to enhance their assets protection program.  Tech companies are competing with one another by producing faster, better and smarter technologies to win over the market share.  Some of these exciting technologies include Big data analytics, Artificial Intelligence,  Cloud computing, robots, drones, machine learning … I was overwhelmed.

With so many choices, it is not easy for a Physical Security Manager to decide what to choose.  Where to start from and what should be done next?

I chanced upon this white paper on “Future of Physical Security” by Microsoft and Accenture Strategy which I thought will give a very good summary of what lies ahead for the future of physical security.  I took away some really good ideas and would recommend you to read it and even share with your team in your team strategy discussion.
