A video and summary of this session is available here.

One of the many striking issues that has emerged from previous webinars – from corporate security personnel and security suppliers – has been the changing relationship between security personnel and other professionals. There have been warnings that the security role will be subsumed (to a lesser or greater extent) by safety professionals, or crisis management experts. Many companies have been surviving the crisis without any meaningful high-level security input. In this webinar we will examine the view that security is a supplementary activity, not a core one, and that its activities can be undertaken by others to very good effect. The webinar will cover:

The extent to which the security role is being undertaken effectively by others
The potential of crisis management experts to subsume security
The implications for security post Covid-19

Panellists:
