SEC-CON 1

 

September 29th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Ross Riggs
 

For those with any military background or those who grew up during the ‘Cold War’ you are probably familiar with the term DEFCON – It has since been taken on for the names of video games and computer hackers conferences, but throughout the Cold War the DEFCON - or Defense Conditions - were 5:

DEFCON 5 - Normal peacetime readiness
DEFCON 4 - Normal, increased intelligence and strengthened security measures
DEFCON 3 - Increase in force readiness above normal readiness
DEFCON 2 - Further Increase in force readiness, but less than maximum readiness
DEFCON 1 - Maximum force readiness.

I introduce to you through this new blog, (which will remain linked with our Homeland Security News Network HSN Police Blotter blog) a new acronym which stands, in part, for Security Consulting, but it also brings with it a mental image of Maximum Security Readiness, and that is what we should be all of the time without going into overload. (We’ll discuss that soon about how to maintain that needed balance.) 

So… here is SECCON 1, a ‘nickname’, if you will, for this site and its HSN link. You will find an RSS link on this site, so, please, follow us, tweet us, LIKE us on Facebook, use our search engine to find blog topics we have addressed since moving to this new site, AND check out SCI’s NEW website at www.security-consulting.us.
