When parents send their children off to college, they expect an environment that will not only challenge them intellectually and nourish them emotionally but will also see to their safety. College is a time of exploration where students discover their identities, and they need a safe space to do so. In order to achieve this, higher education institutions must embrace the five pillars of effective campus security:
- Policies and Procedures are a Must
- Physical and Digital Access Integration Benefits
- Communication and Notification Improvements
- Crisis Management Planning Customization and Consistency
- Cybersecurity and Cyber Hygiene
