Today’s global business operating environment is characterised by unstable geopolitics, volatility, increased security risks, and risks that are increasingly interconnected or don’t sit neatly within one function.

In this context, effective corporate security is increasingly dependent on the ability to connect: within the function, across the business, and between the business and external stakeholders. Corporate security teams that operate within a unified model are not only more effective at delivering security – they make greater contributions along their company’s value chain.

My new report, published and supported by Ontic, explains why this model works and how to deliver it in practice.

It argues that talent and technology underpin this approach and makes recommendations for corporate security leaders, as well as their team members.
