250-400 words, APA, Talking Points, Outline

Your task: You have been asked to give a  presentation at Business Round Table Event. Attendees are owners of  small businesses and corporate managers whose employees are now working  from home due to the global pandemic. The need for physical security to  protect equipment and other assets has risen in priority for these  business owners and managers as they realize that they have a gap in  their business continuity planning and response which needs to be  addressed.

Background: During the global pandemic, many  companies throughout the region, both small businesses and larger  corporate entities, successfully transitioned to “work from home”  allowing them to continue operating despite the issuance of “work from  home” and “stay at home” orders from governmental entities. Storefronts  and offices for non-essential businesses and services were shuttered or  reduced to minimal staffing. Concerns about the potential for thefts,  break-ins, and other forms of unauthorized entry have been raised in  many organizations who were not prepared for extended periods in which  their facilities would be unoccupied / unattended.

For this presentation, identify and discuss five or more technologies  and countermeasures which can be implemented to address the problem of  providing physical security in an unoccupied/unattended facility (you  should not propose any measures that rely upon guards or other personnel  who would need to be physically present). Your presentation should  address both preventive and detective controls for physical security,  e.g. perimeter fencing, gates, bollards, lighting, CCTV, audio scanning,  alarm systems, key-card controlled entry, etc.

Format: This week, the format for your deliverable  (posting) will be “Talking Points.” Talking points are presented in  outline format and contain the content that you would put on slides in a  slide deck. Your outline should include 5 to 7 major points (“slide  titles”) followed by 3 to 5 supporting points for each. Remember to put  enough information into the talking points that your peer reviewers can  understand what you intend to cover in each section of your briefing.  Remember to introduce the topic at the beginning, present your analysis,  and then close your briefing with an appropriate summary. Include a  list of sources (3 or more) which attendees could refer to if they wish  to fact check your work.
