“Increasing instances of active shooter assaults underlines a universal truth in security: It is easier to commit crime or terrorism when a facility has minimal security [otherwise known as soft targets]” said A. Benjamin Mannes, chief compliance officer for a Philadelphia-based financial firm and member of the ASIS Philadelphia chapter. “Author Jennifer Hesterman, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel, draws upon her experience securing military assets overseas and applies it to protecting soft targets in the domestic and civilian space. By adopting the principles in this book, readers can take an important first step to recognizing and mitigating threats to their organizations.”
