Abstract
In an age of expensive resources and technology, and the unique complexities
brought about by the emerging markets, organizations share a common need and
responsibility to manage those threats that impact on the operation of the business
and profitablility. Inferably, when analysing threats to business in terms of a
Risk Evaluation Framework, risk management and corporate security are similar in
that each is concerned with the protection and conservation of corporate assets
and resources. Whether it be proliferation of unfriendly acquisitions, domestic
and international vulnerablility analysis and risk assessment, review of corporate
security programmes and surveys, or disaster planning, disaster recovery, and
continuity of operations, the need remains the same - security and managment of
risks. While security has so often been an after thought, or rather a retrofit
or 'quickfix', today's insight of security involves sophistication, early product
and business design, and a particular technical application never before realized.
This article is an attempt to prove that today's all encompassing corporate
security process exsists as an essential element of the total risk management
function.
