How is enterprise security increasingly embracing the use of drones, robots and other automated technology to mitigate risks, manage costs and boost productivity?

In the previous two columns I asked a few questions and discussed the concepts of what is security’s role and how would you evaluate security’s role?

Last month we asked the question, “What is security’s role in the enterprise?” It turns out the answer isn’t that simple. I’d like to follow that up with what seems to be an easy question.

This question came up during the Security 500 Conference last November, and it is still sticking with me. I don’t think you’ll find an easy or consistent answer.

Last month I had the honor to speak at the Security 500 conference in front of a large room of senior security leaders.  My own personal take-away from the event is that no matter how long you’ve been in this industry there is always something new to learn.

Security has a strategic place in every enterprise and in every career.

For two years after a gunman opened fire inside a Southern California Edison office, corporate security rebuilt and reframed their corporate culture toward active shooter policies.

"Acts of violence such as active shooters aren’t random,” says A. Benjamin Mannes. “From events such as Adam Lanza and Newtown, Nikolas Cruz and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Jin Yu Park at Virginia Tech, and even Jared Loughner, who shot Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, all were planned.”

The Global Security Exchange (GSX) will provide access to valuable discussions, products and networking that security practitioners need to thrive.
