Asset Protection is Inherent to Business

The protection of an organization's assets must be an integral part of its overall business strategy. In tight economic times, companies supposedly can't afford risk assessments; but these are exactly the times when they're most needed. Many businesses do not have the proprietary expertise to objectively assess their security vulnerabilities; they need outside assistance. A risk assessment conducted without a professional security practitioner is like a medical diagnosis conducted without a licensed physician.

Maximizing value and profit is not only a function of promoting the sale of goods or services; it is also a function of asset protection.

Back in December 2008 I attended a professional taught by Larry Danaher - a very respected law enforcement/security professional who said that both professions were becoming even more technological in size and scope, and a vocation and more industry. This article bears that out. I wish more individual involved in the profession had more people skills that relied less on technology. Great Website!
