We heard on last week’s show how security has become the department of everything through the lockdown. And if that is the case, is it time to give some of that back? If the essence of physical security is about protecting everything then we could say ESRM is all about prioritizing. But does the idea of prioritizing risks fly in the face of your instincts as a protector

Today we're going to be talking with Rachelle Loyear who is a VP innovation and product management at G4S about her work in the Enterprise Security Risk Management sector. We’re going to hear how the ESRM philosophy can apply to many security fields, including close protection. 

Join us for this deep dive into ESRM as we discuss…

• How we can take a different approach towards trying to protect everything and instead put the responsibility on the people who are going to be the most impacted.
• How we can overlay traditional Risk Management against security risk to form a framework and a guideline on how to approach it and tactics for implementing it.
• How to make your company or service a more valuable asset. Because, if you’re managing a risk that nobody cares about, you're wasting company money.
• How to better communicate the value of security, not just in conversation, but in metrics and measurable ways.

ESRM is a hot topic and an evolving topic. Tune in to this week’s show to discover more beyond the buzzword and learn a new philosophy.
