Rachelle Loyear, vice president of integrated security solutions at Allied Universal®, has launched her third book, offering a practical guide on enterprise security risk assessment and strategy.
As one of the early figures in the field of security and facility services, Allied Universal® continues to focus on the evolving needs of corporate security leaders, risk professionals, and business executives tasked with developing resilient, business-focused security programs.
Key Insights for Security Professionals
The book is crafted to aid security professionals in today's dynamic threat landscape, providing insights on aligning security programs with business priorities. Loyear emphasizes the dual role of security leaders: contributing to strategic decisions and effectively managing incidents.
"Security leaders are now expected to contribute to strategic business decisions while still being able to respond effectively to incidents," Loyear stated. "This book is intended to help them do both—providing a practical approach to communicating risk and making informed security investment decisions that align with organizational priorities."
Structured Approach to Security Management
In the publication, Loyear draws from her experience to present a structured Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) approach.
This methodology concentrates on three fundamental questions: identifying what needs protection, understanding the threats, and determining effective and efficient protection strategies. The book integrates the concept of effects-based security into ESRM, ensuring that security strategies are tied to both strategy and execution, leading to significant, results-oriented outcomes.
