Answer by Ann S
If it is an area you enjoy you may want to look into personal protection companies. I’m sure they would value your skills and experience. There seems to be a growing trend in this field as I’m seeing more colleges offering degrees. One thing that comes to mind is working for a company procuring government contracts.

What’s the Difference Between Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery?

Business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) are frequently confused. Business continuity is characterized by the following:
• It begins before the disruption / incident
• It is continuous
• It is focused on business processes

In contrast, disaster recovery is characterized by the following:
• It begins at the time of the disruption / incident
• It ends at the resumption of normal operations
• It is focused on resources

Disaster recovery is the process by which you resume business after a disruptive event. The event might be something huge, an earthquake, for example, or something small, like malfunctioning software caused by a computer virus. Often, the two terms are married under the acronym BC/DR.

“Business continuity planning” describes how an organization responds to an event to ensure the business is running (even if manually or in a limited capacity). “Disaster Recovery” is having plans in place to handle the aftermath. Either DR or BC determine how a company will keep functioning after a disruptive event until its normal facilities are restored.

This image summarizes 13 significant differences between disaster recovery and business continuity.

Question by joseph c: How do I locate International cargo ship companies willing to hire contract security?
How do I locate International cargo ship companies willing to hire contract security?

Best answer:

Answer by Charles
Rationally, the need for security would have already been met by another company. If you do not represent a company, look into working for one if this is your dream to work security on a freighter.

Do You consider security or law inforcment, Customer service?

Question by The Gangster: Do You consider security or law inforcment, Customer service?
I am looking for a new job, and found a bank loan processor customer service job.It is at bank thru a temp agency “NO Experience will train RIGHT CANDIDATE”.

I put in my resume (2 years law enforcement, 6 years security guard and computer literate yda ydaya).

I called the temp agency after I put in my resume, and was avoided at front desk. I called 2nd day then got into a little spat with the temp agency recruiter, about how he said, law enforcement is not a customer service job “looking for other candidates.” Then what is customer service ? I get a call at 3am on a domestic dispute and you have to come to a conclusion to arrest not arrest how to resolve the problem and be nice and Professional. Then wright a report on it.

I thought that was as good as customer service can get. So am I wrong or is law enforcement or security considered customer service?

Who are the only companies I should give my social security number out to?

Question by rocker: Who are the only companies I should give my social security number out to?
And if they ask for ite and they shouldn’t be asking for it, what can I say? For example I got DMV paper in the mail that wants me to pay $ 80 to renew my license (I’m in NYC area) I think I will just go in person for that but what about companies? Which are ok?

Best answer:

Answer by Fair & Savvy
You can do that online, just make sure you have high internet security. Other than that, generally utility companies if you initiated the phone call, service request you are to give your ss# to them, so they can run your credit and not charge you for a deposit, for witholding your ss# to run a credit check, to purchase a vehicle, or to process any type of credit application, always provided that you initiated the request, never give it to any solicitor for any reason of course.

Database security question?

Question by Licursi: Database security question?
I need to scope out an effort to put security in a company’s system. What are some of the things I need to spec and what standards do I need to comply with. Basically, users will need access inside to inside our company’s network and access our data base to request data. We have to authenticate them, protect their ID, and send them the data. It’s not complicated but I’d need someone with a pretty solid background in security to do it. Any help would be appreciated. High level or low level responses are welcome.

Thanks

Answer by Speedy
If you have been asked to do this then you should know. Otherwise your company’s security status is really poor. Your company should employ a real professional to do it, not someone who doesn’t know what they are doing. Security systems can be complex and if you don’t know what you are doing and set it up then you will be in for some trouble in the future, if not sooner. What if people come to you with a problem saying this doesn’t work or that doesn’t work? You will be screwed, since you don’t know about it. I suggest that you tell this company to employ the right people for the job. No offence aimed at you of course, but you must understand that if someone set up their security system after asking about it on yahoo answers and somebody hacks into your system and steals files or whatever, you will have a lot of explaining to do. Especially if there is important information about people.
