title: Resolving the dilemma of educating and training professionals in security.
abstract: This article is excerpted from a Pinkerton Lecture Series paper, sponsored by Pinkerton Security and Investigation Services, that was presented at the 1997 Plenary Session of ASIS in June. The author presents his views on how best to educate and train the security professional in today's hightech environment. Among his suggestions: a more diverse curriculum broken into smaller packages, use of the Internet or other electronic media, and having security professionals teach courses and integrate security into the curriculum.
