Post-9/11 federal legislation has changed the nature of security management by introducing a new layer of regulation which must be integrated across all business functions. Additionally, the current threat environment requires private security professionals to increase their knowledge base and skills relating to threat assessment and integration as well as internal and external communication. The Graduate Certificate in Security Management responds to this change by addressing the nexus between core business functionality and the recent changes in threat environment and the accompanying regulatory framework. The program is particularly useful for mid- and senior-level security management professionals from industries as diverse as biotechnology, hospital administration, manufacturing, product development, financial services, communications/telecommunications, and property management.
