The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released the Venue Guide for Security Considerations. CISA is committed to partnering with venue operators in mitigating the threat of targeted violence and preparing for any potential incidents. The guide serves as a broad catalog to support safe and secure day-to day operations and event management planning and execution. Applying the guide will enable venue operators to effectively identify and manage risk. This guide aims to help venue operators enhance safety, protect assets, and create secure environments through effective security measures and best practices. The guide:
- Provides guidance for venues, such as evaluating security measures, complexity levels, costs, options, and threats mitigated by these measures. By balancing these factors, venues can create a secure environment for operators and guests.
- Recommends broadly applicable considerations for evaluating security practices, such as assessing measures and improving physical security compliance to ensure staff and visitor safety.
- Offers actionable guidance for prioritizing the most effective security practices and proactively reducing the risk of major threats.
- Provides venue operators with a tailored menu of security options, allowing them to select the most suitable and effective measures for their venue’s budget, size, location, and risk factors.
