Managing Corporate Security in Turbulent Times

As the company's spending continues to be tightened during the economic downturn, the security manager needs to know how to adapt to the ever changing and dynamic technologies, wireless devices and other innovations in order to stay competitive and abreast. In recent years, the role of the corporate security officer has undergone a dramatic evolution from a reactive, behind the scene function, to an integral part of the CSuite. Corporations around the world realize that for every business decision they make, a vital security decision is also involved. As a result, a well structured security policy is no longer a mere inconvenience; it's become a highly destructive phenomenon that can have disastrous results for any organization, if not properly planned.

Research on the major catastrophic disasters that have occurred in the last decade has proven that most of the affected corporate companies had not properly invested in security. Developing a robust protection and resilience strategies are now in the forefront of a company's investment. Corporate security officers need to have technical abilities in addition to a strong knowledge of the internal and external risks to their personnel, facilities and the reputations of their firms.

With the above concerns in mind, Kavaq has specially designed this two day forum that focuses on emerging trends in Security in turbulent times. In times like these, 'more of the same' no longer seems good enough. The conference will be focusing on managing security in turbulent times and exploring emerging challenges.
