    Leadership Out of Antarctica and a Sneak Peek into SM’s 2027 Calendar

    Security Management magazine Editor-in-Chief Claire Meyer spills the tea on a big crisis-communications package, the content calendar for 2027, and the first step to getting published online. Then, management and leadership consultant Gregory Shea, PhD, author of the recent Rising From Ground Zero: 9/11 and the FDNY’s Path Through Crisis to Transformation, shares leadership lessons gathered from another notable, much-older story: The Endurance’s captain Ernest Shackleton and his nearly fatal expedition in the early 1900s to Antarctica that saw him and his crew survive against all odds. It’s a preview of the CSO Center Secure Horizons two-day seminar at this month’s GSX in Atlanta, Georgia. This episode is generously sponsored by Belfry. Note: Shea’s interview does include a mention of suicidal thoughts. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health struggle, emotional distress, or just need someone to talk to, the International Association for Suicide Prevention provides a helpline assistant to connect you with a crisis helpline in your country: https://findahelpline.com Additional Resources Learn more about Belfry, this episode’s sponsor, here: https://www.belfrysoftware.com/ Dig into Security Management’s Focus on Crisis Communication content package here: https://www.asisonline.org/security-management-magazine/articles/2026/08/crisis-communications/ In the package above, Pamela Meyer’s “Why ‘Never Go Off-Script’ is Advice for Amateurs” especially caught the eye of Senior Editor Megan Gates.

    Staffing Shortfalls in Corrections, Intelligence, and Beyond

    Is finding sufficient staffing a challenge for your organization? The U.S. Bureau of Prisons has been in that boat for years, and its staffing shortages have had notable effects on correctional facilities’ safety and employees’ security, says Gretta Goodwin, director of homeland security and justice at the U.S. Government Accountability Agency (GAO). Corporate security functions are also scrambling to hire and retain enough specialized intelligence analysts to help keep organizations ahead of emerging challenges and geopolitical strife, says senior security specialist and GSOC manager Shane Clymer. But turnover is inevitable; even so, organizations that invest in holistic security system life-cycle management and governance can protect themselves from disruption after key personnel leave, notes security consultant Mohammed Atif Shehzad.
