2013 ASIS Career Opportunities in Security
While the information contained in this brochure will be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about the field of security, it has been prepared primarily for the following categories of individuals:
- Individuals seeking to pursue a degree in security management, asset protection, or a related discipline.
- Individuals entering the security field after obtaining a degree in security management, asset protection, or a related discipline
- Individuals already in the security field who seek a management track position after obtaining a degree in security management, asset protection, or a related discipline.
- Individuals transitioning from other careers into the public or private security field who seek a management-track position.
Information from a number of security specialties has been compiled to give the reader a better idea of the prerequisites for entering management-track supervisory and non-supervisory positions in those specialties. In addition to the entry-level data, there is information concerning the duties of mid-level management and non-management personnel in those specialties. Chief security officer (CSO) and equivalent senior and executive-level positions are outside the scope of this booklet.
