ASIS International Partners with Brownyard Educational Center to Advance Education of Security Professionals












Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) September 15, 2011

The Brownyard Educational Center (http://www.BrownyardU.com) and ASIS International (http://www.ASISOnline.org) today announced an educational partnership that will strengthen the Center’s role as the world’s first web-based center of excellence for security professionals. The educational partnership will make the Center’s continuing education and degree programs available to the 37,000 active ASIS members.

“It is fitting that we announce this important partnership with ASIS just days after the 10-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, because well-educated and well-trained security professionals are the first line of defense, whether it’s against natural disasters, crime or acts of terrorism,” said Tory Brownyard, president of Brownyard Group.

The Brownyard Educational Center was founded by Brownyard Group, a leader in insurance for the security industry, and Cardinal Point Strategies, a risk management consulting firm working in national security, government affairs and professional development. The Center features three prominent educational partners: CiNet’s Professional Security Training Network (PSTN), Kaplan EduNeering and Kaplan University.

“Quality education is at the cornerstone of the ASIS mission,” stated Raymond T. O’Hara, CPP, president, ASIS International. “Partnerships with industry organizations such as the Brownyard Educational Center enable ASIS to broaden the scope of learning opportunities for our members around the world.”

“The partnership with ASIS International will help the Brownyard Educational Center reach more security professionals, a mission that is more important than ever,” said Paul Goldenberg, CEO of Cardinal Point Strategies. “With municipal and county police agencies facing unprecedented budget cuts and staff reductions, professionally trained private and contracted security officers will be needed to fill these gaps.”

Extensive Educational Offerings

The Brownyard Platinum Performance Training Program includes three tiers of courses from PSTN and Kaplan EduNeering:

    Tier I: Basic Security Officer Training Series (BSOTS)
    Tier II: Liability in Security Operations and Risk
    Tier III: Professional Development and Management – Supervisor Excellence Series

A partnership with Kaplan University makes available Kaplan University’s associate and bachelor’s degrees in Criminal Justice, as well as a master’s degree in Homeland Security & Emergency Management. Brownyard Educational Center students receive a 10 percent tuition reduction on Kaplan University courses.

Affordable, Online Learning System

The Brownyard Educational Center was designed to be both affordable and easy to use, with courses priced well below the security industry average and insurance incentives for participating security firms that are insured by Brownyard Group. In addition, security professionals have access to real-time information for the private security industry.

All courses are offered conveniently online, either through a state-of-the-art Learning Management System (LMS), or through Kaplan University:

    For the Brownyard Platinum Performance Training Program, the Center utilizes a robust, flexible and customizable interactive web-based LMS. Security professionals can take individualized courses and tests anytime, anywhere.
    Kaplan University serves more than 59,000 online and campus-based students with more than 100 academic programs, including master’s bachelor’s and associate’s degrees. The University is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

Security Professionals can find solution in Information Security Conference

The Bureau has its hands full and is asking the public for help. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has just revealed some interesting statistics on a burgeoning headache — white-collar Internet crime. Since the IC3 began recording cyber-theft 10 years ago, the agency arm says that it’s received two million complaints on white-collar Internet crime.

 

The most common complaints filed by the agency Impersonators were impersonators acting as FBI agents, non-payment of items ordered on the Internet, and identity theft. The rest of the “Top Ten” included computer crimes, miscellaneous fraud, advance fee fraud, spam, auction fraud, credit card fraud and overpayment fraud. The report also listed some of the “newer” forms of Internet crimes:

 

The report also announced some of the “newer” forms of Internet crimes:

 

■Telephone calls claiming victims are delinquent on payday loans.

■Online apartment, house rental and real estate scams used to swindle consumers out of thousands of dollars.

■Denial-of-service attacks on cell phones and landlines used as a ruse to access victims’ bank accounts.

■Fake e-mails seeking donations to disaster relief efforts after last year’s earthquake in Haiti

 

Information security professionals can thwart web-based white-collar crime through awareness and preparation. EC-Council, a leading certification body organizesinformation security conference called TakeDown Conference, a highly technical security training conference with a platform that will allow participants to go through both hands on and real life scenario based training covering domains such as web application security, penetration testing and social engineering.

Ethical Hacking training is vital in helping curb Internet crime. EC-Council has trained over 80,000 individuals and certified more than 30,000 security professionals. These certifications are recognized worldwide and have received endorsements from various government agencies including the US federal government, National Security Agency (NSA), Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS), US Army, FBI, Microsoft and CERTs (Computer Emergency Response Team) of various nations. The UUS Department of Defense has included the CEH program into its Directive 8570, making it one of the mandatory standards to be achieved by Computer Network Defenders Service Providers (CND-SP).

Individuals who have achieved EC-Council certifications include those from some of the finest organizations around the world such as the US Army, the FBI, Microsoft, IBM and the United Nations. EC-Council has also been featured in internationally acclaimed publications and media including Fox Business News, CNN, The Herald Tribune, The Wall Street Journal, The Gazette and The Economic Times as well as in online publications such as the ABC News, USA Today, The Christian Science Monitor, Boston and Gulf News.
