CS01: NFPA 72: Are You Ready for the Changes?
10:15 am - 11:15 am (Wednesday, March 28, 2012)
~ Introductory
| In the most extensive Code revision since 1993, the 2010 NFPA 72''s scope and organization have expanded beyond the core focus on fire alarm systems to also include requirements for mass notification systems used for weather emergencies, terrorist events, biological, chemical, and nuclear emergencies along with other threats. This wider coverage is reflected in a new Code titled National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. In addition to updated rules for in-building fire emergency voice/alarm communications systems, the revisions include first-time provisions for risk analysis requirements for the design of mass notification systems, as well as revised installation and testing provisions related to voice intelligibility. This session will outline the various code changes and updates, while providing concrete strategies for meeting the new requirements. While there are no prerequisites for this session, overall familiarity with codes and code structure would help attendees maximize their learning.

CS04: Virtualization and Cloud RMR: Opportunities and Risks
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm (Wednesday, March 28, 2012)
~ 1
| Increasingly, service providers are augmenting their monitoring services and building additional revenue streams by offering basic video, access control and intrusion, event storage and retrieval, and other security-related applications through the cloud. Many are finding that outsourcing video services and central monitoring not only reduces the total cost of managing physical security, it also frees them to focus their energies on security issues rather than technology maintenance and support, creating a true value-add for the customer.
However, before deploying hosted services to their customers, operators should carefully consider issues related to moving to the cloud. In this session, attendees explore issues ranging from technical considerations, such as bandwidth utilization, to potential privacy and security risks, and how to define the scope of services and allocation of risk among all involved. Expert panelists will help attendees evaluate how to select the right technology partners and guide them in the development of security policies that effectively meet company and regulatory needs.
Learning Objectives:
1. Determine how to select a cloud provider based on existing infrastructure
2. Promote opportunities in cloud utilization
3. Interpret the privacy and security challenges and impact on security compliance
4. Ensure sufficient data protection and resiliency for on- and off-premise providers
5. Identify some of the legal issues of moving to the cloud and how to protect your company against the risk of catastrophic loss

PB02: Protecting the Pentagon: Lessons Learned
11:30 am - 12:30 pm (Wednesday, March 28, 2012)
~ Intermediate
| The Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA) is implementing an HSPD-12 / Federal Identity Credential and Access Management (FICAM)-aligned solution called the Privilege Management Program (PMP) to collect, manage and distribute identity credentials, biometrics and privileges. PFPA is also evaluating a multi-modal biometric access control solution because they realized early on that no single biometric was a complete solution. The PFPA has now enrolled more than 6,000 Mark Center tenants and will be focusing on the Pentagon next. In last year's ISC West conference program, the project plan and status of its pilot programs were discussed. This year's session provides the lessons learned after 6 months of live operation at the Mark Center - what worked, what didn't work, and what had to be changed - and subsequently the steps leading up to implementation at the Pentagon.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the key components to properly plan and execute a PIV and FICAM solution using real world examples.
2. Learn the techniques used to gain stakeholder and senior management support.
3. Learn about the technical aspects of PFPA's program that make it unique and how they overcame challenges encountered during deployment.

PB04: Cloud Computing for First Responders
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm (Wednesday, March 28, 2012)
~ Intermediate
| The Cloud is the next frontier for the integrated security services market, and we are on the verge of a revolution akin to what we saw with the Internet and IP networking in the 1990s at the end of which the cloud will dominate electronic service delivery. Driving development is revenue. Cloud Computing offers opportunities for new services, along with scalability and economy that may make bricks and mortar irrelevant. Increasingly, electronic service delivery, including capabilities such as intrusion detection riding in the Cloud, must be tied to devices at the customer premises. End-user interest in new capabilities and in realizing cost savings by using the Cloud as an information repository are driving continued innovation on the manufacturer end. In this session, attendees learn how and why first responders will be using the cloud to minimize risk, manage costs, and maximize efficiencies and performance; discuss the factors driving development of the Cloud; and engage in lively debate about what belongs on the Cloud and what does not.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify three ways first responders are using the Cloud to minimize risks, manage costs and maximize performance
2. Investigate the potential Cloud Computing has to drive the development of next generation technologies for physical security and first responders
3. Evaluate what belongs in the Cloud and what does not
