At a giant show like ASIS, with vendors discussing their view of the convergence universe, it can be easy to start thinking of security in abstract terms--systems, bits of hardware, bytes of data. But no matter how sophisticated its tools become, security is about protecting real people, real places, real things--points all driven home by listening to Maersk Alabama Capt. Richard Phillips during his news conference after delivering the keynote address at the ASIS CSO Roundtable earlier this week.
Phillips was taken hostage by Somali pirates after they boarded the Maersk Alabama in April of this year, then rescued by Navy Seals. In this video, he discusses potential means of equipping vessels to deal with increasingly brazen pirate attacks--and also the personal qualities that helped him and his crew survive.
