How CSOs Can Prepare for Inevitable Natural Disasters
At the core of risk and resilience planning is the ability to gather intelligence and create situational awareness.
“Everybody talks about the weather, but...nobody does anything about it.” Well, it appears somebody finally is – CSOs. And not just the weather, but everything Mother Nature can throw at enterprise security supporting business and protecting its people, property and assets. Weather is one point on the risk matrix. Natural disasters are a less frequent but more targeted, severe risk from which enterprises have found resilience more difficult. And contagions continue to appear on the horizon of risks that enterprises need prepare for and have their stakeholders avoid.
As you know, at the core of risk and resilience planning is the ability to gather intelligence and create situational awareness. And at the front of that effort is the move to leverage Security Operations Centers that incorporate public (e.g. OSAC) and private (e.g. Impact Weather: “Time is Money, Downtime is Not”)resources. Combined with travel support and insurance services, enterprises are able to fuse information at their fingertips to prepare for possible disruptions to business travel, supply chain logistics and damage to facilities and assets.
