Effective security management, personnel and systems must integrate and support the business to secure key assets, rather than restrict its operation. As quickly as companies develop, so too do the risks and threats that they face. These risks and threats can primarily stem from internal sources such as, Personnel and Information Technology/Systems or external sources such as environmental disasters or terrorism. Some of these threats, security management can directly control, others it cannot. Successful security management will ensure that the company assets have been identified, evaluated for risk, and appropriate safeguards implemented to address the identified threats, such as Crisis Management Planning and Business Continuity Plans.
Leading companies can no longer view their security departments and employees as lower tier functions. To ensure departments’ function effectively within the realm of the larger corporate objectives, it is essential that security professionals and executives can manage and lead their teams to achieve effective security plans and programmes that can be implemented successfully.
