July 24, 2014 – BICSI—an association supporting the information and communications technology (ICT) industry—has released the 4th edition of its Electronic Safety and Security Design Reference Manual (ESSDRM).

The 4th edition, says BICSI, “is an invaluable reference for both the ICT designer and the security professional”. Today’s ICT projects require knowledge of ESS (electronic safety and security) and its principles, and designers are required to become more knowledgeable of the ICT infrastructure required for ESS systems. The updated ESSDRM describes how these systems have been transformed into elements of a larger security solution where information and infrastructure are shared. The manual is available in print and downloadable versions.
