The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released guidance on Tuesday to assist venue operators in their efforts to enhance safety, protect assets, and create secure environments. “Venues have increasingly become targets, yet many lack the resources to secure their day-to-day operations and special events effectively,” said Dr. David Mussington, CISA’s executive assistant director for infrastructure security, in a statement. “In response, and in collaboration with industry experts and security professionals, our agency has developed this guide to empower venue operators with the tools needed to identify and manage risk effectively.” The Venue Guide for Security Considerations includes voluntary guidance for venue owners and operators, such as actionable guidance and a tailored menu of security options which allows venues to “select the most suitable and effective measures for their venue’s budget, size, location, and risk factors.” #venuesecurity #cisa #perimetersecurity #crowdmanagement #emergencymanagement
