Campus Security

This Campus Security e-Book examines the evolving challenges facing schools and the strategies security leaders can use to build safer, more resilient learning environments. From the promise—and limitations—of artificial intelligence in identifying threats before violence occurs to the critical role of access control, the collection looks beyond individual technologies to the fundamentals of effective school security. It explores why proven security practices, sound policies and well-trained people remain essential even as schools adopt increasingly sophisticated tools. The e-Book also addresses the growing cyber threat landscape, including AI-enabled phishing and social engineering tactics that can exploit students, faculty and staff. Finally, it considers the broader mission of student security in 2026, connecting physical protection, cybersecurity, technology and community well-being. Together, these perspectives provide school and campus security professionals with practical insights for navigating emerging threats while strengthening the foundation of safety, preparedness and resilience.
