EVENT DESCIPTIONS:
1. Empowering Occupants: The Missing Link in Building Security Preparedness
May 7
Description:
Organizations often invest heavily in physical security technology yet overlook their most influential asset: the people who occupy the building every day. This webinar explores how occupant behavior, awareness, and training directly shape real-world readiness during emergencies, from workplace violence incidents to natural disasters. Attendees will learn how to build an occupant-centric preparedness program, craft engaging drills that reflect modern threat scenarios, and use data from recent security trends to reinforce participation and compliance. The live web panel discussion highlights practical communication strategies, gamified training approaches, and ways to reinforce security culture without disrupting daily operations.
Discussion Points:
- How occupant awareness and behavior directly affect emergency response outcomes
- Best practices for building-wide drills that enhance readiness and compliance
- Using communication and micro-training to normalize security participation
- Techniques for fostering a sustainable, organization-wide security culture
2. Five Operational Imperatives for Facility Managers to Strengthen Physical Security
May 13
Description:
Physical security is no longer a “set it and forget it” responsibility for facility teams. The threats range from tailgating to insider risks to supply chain vulnerabilities, requiring a proactive, standards-driven approach. This live web panel discussion distills the five most critical action steps for facility leaders, based on best-practice frameworks and lessons learned from real-world building operations. The expert panel will walk through risk assessments, policy alignment, preventative maintenance strategies, cross-team coordination, and technology lifecycle planning. Participants will leave with a clear roadmap for elevating their security posture, optimizing resources, and advocating for strategic security investments.
Discussion Points:
- How to conduct a practical, recurring physical security risk assessment
- Building policies, procedures, and cross-department workflows that increase resilience
- The importance of preventive maintenance and technology lifecycle planning
- Ways to measure security program effectiveness and justify investments
3. Building Cyber Resilience: Defending Property Systems from Digital Threats
May 21
Description:
As buildings become smarter and more connected, their attack surface grows—particularly across HVAC systems, access control, IP cameras, and cloud-based management platforms. This live web panel discussion demystifies the cyber risks unique to modern facilities and outlines steps organizations can take to prevent their buildings from becoming easy targets. Leveraging lessons from recent incidents and best practices in OT/IT convergence, we’ll explore device hardening, vendor management expectations, network segmentation, and incident response planning for facility systems. Attendees will understand how to transform their building cybersecurity posture from reactive to resilient.
Discussion Points:
- Key cyber vulnerabilities found in today’s building systems and IoT devices
- How to enforce stronger vendor, integrator, and supply-chain security requirements
- Best practices for segmenting building networks and hardening connected systems
- Steps for developing incident-response plans tailored to facility environments
