Resumen del Editor

A compendium of essential information for the modern security entrepreneur and practitioner.

The modern security practitioner has shifted from a predominantly protective site and assets manager to a leading contributor to overall organizational resilience. Accordingly, The Security Consultant's Handbook sets out a holistic overview of the essential core knowledge, emerging opportunities, and approaches to corporate thinking that are increasingly demanded by employers and buyers in the security market.

This audiobook provides essential direction for those who want to succeed in security, either individually or as part of a team. It also aims to stimulate some fresh ideas and provide new market routes for security professionals who may feel they are underappreciated and overexerted in traditional business domains.

Product overview:

Distilling the author's 15 years of experience as a security practitioner and incorporating the results of some 50 interviews with leading security practitioners and a review of a wide range of supporting business literature, The Security Consultant's Handbook provides a wealth of knowledge for the modern security practitioner, covering:

• Entrepreneurial practice (including business intelligence, intellectual property rights, emerging markets, business funding, and business networking)
• Management practice (including the security function's move from basement to boardroom, fitting security into the wider context of organizational resilience, security management leadership, adding value, and professional proficiency)
• Legislation and regulation (including relevant UK and international laws such as the Human Rights Act 1998, the Data Protection Act 1998, and the Geneva Conventions)
• Private investigations (including surveillance techniques, tracing missing people, witness statements and evidence, and surveillance and the law)
• Information and cybersecurity (including why information needs protection, intelligence and espionage, cybersecurity threats, and mitigation approaches such as the ISO 27001 standard for information security management)
• Protective security (including risk-assessment methods, person-focused threat assessments, protective security roles, piracy, and firearms)
• Personal and organizational resilience (including workplace initiatives, crisis management, and international standards such as ISO 22320, ISO 22301 and PAS 200)

Featuring case studies, checklists, and helpful chapter summaries, The Security Consultant's Handbook aims to be a practical and enabling guide for security officers and contractors. Its purpose is to plug information gaps or provoke new ideas and provide a real-world support tool for those who want to offer their clients safe, proportionate, and value-driven security services.

Interesting read on overall Security

This Audiobook was not what I was expecting. This book discusses the overall situation of Security, ranging from physical security to Information Security and creating resilience. So the overall Security industry. Still nice to listen to and a good voice!
