This is a scholarly post and your responses should have more depth than "I agree" and should demonstrate critical reflection of the problem in order to promote vigorous discussion of the topic within the forum.

For the conferences students are expected to make a minimum of three posts on three days for EACH Topic.  Your initial post will be your answer to the Question and is to be 300 – 400 words with at least two references.  The remaining two posts will be comments engaged with your classmates in meaningful discussion, more than affirmation, on their post and the subject matter and be between 150 - 250 words.

Initial post will be graded on length, content, grammar and use of references. The initial post must be submitted by Wednesday at 11:59 PM EST to give other students chance to respond to your post.

Using APA in discussion posts is very similar to using APA in a paper. And it helps to think of your discussion post as a short APA paper without a cover page. You need to cite your sources in your discussion post both in-text and in a references section. If you need help forming in-text citations, check out our in-text citation page on the APA guide.

Topic 1: Lawrence Fennelly defines physical security as “The most fundamental aspect of protection. It is the use of physical controls to protect the premises, site, facility, building or other physical assets.

The process includes layers of physical protection measures to prevent unauthorized personnel from accessing your property (office, building, stores, factories, etc.)”.

List and discuss some of the physical security systems you know.

Topic 2:

How can you conduct a Risk Analysis and Security Survey to Protect Your Assets?

NOTE: List the topics in different documents and upload them.
