ASIS is the preeminent international organization for security professionals, with more than 37,000 members worldwide.

Web 2.0: Investigations That Move Beyond Google

February 17, 2010 @ noon Eastern U.S.

About the program:
Web 2.0-a fairly new Internet feature- allows you to vet hires, conduct due diligence pre-acquisition, prevent competitive intelligence, and identify problem employees before workplace violence or intellectual property theft occurs. It must be understood, however, before it can utilized by investigators and security professionals. This presentation moves beyond Web 2.0 and reviews options such as social- and photo-network Web sites, mapping tools, and other Internet features that can be used for intelligence gathering and security assessments.

About the program:
Cloud computing has taken hold as a mainstream business option with nearly half of companies using it, and another 40% planning to. What is Cloud Computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and how are they relevant to physical and electronic security services today? This webinar targets those with a responsibility for, or interest in, physical and electronic security solutions and introduces and explains cloud computing and SaaS. It covers associated terms and provides insight into the key topics associated with SaaS that need to be considered if you're considering it as a contender for physical and electronic security services.

Chapter Dues

As you know, the Las Vegas Chapter is solely funded by member dues. Member dues for 2010 remain at previous years' amount of $30.00. Each member will be receiving an e-mail from the Chapter Chairman via a service called Intuit Billing Manager. This free service allows the chapter to maintain a list of members, invoice and track payments via a secure online service. We elected not to go with the additional cost required to process credit card payments. You will be able to pay the invoice with cash, check or money order in person at any meeting. You may also remit payment by check or money order to our mailing address. In either case, the invoice will contain a second remittance page that contains your invoice number. Please bring that with you or include it with your payment so we can insure proper credit. In the past we have had companies pay for the member dues and have had difficulty determining which member that payment was for. We will not be billing the two ASIS Life Members or three student members. We thank you for your continued support of the Las Vegas Chapter!
