Corporate security
April 11 2002
The terrorist attacks of September 11 brought corporate security to the top of every business leader's agenda in a sudden, brutal and unexpected way. The need to protect companies' staff, systems, property and assets has become a matter of urgency. Businesses have had to reassess the risks of operating in a global marketplace and their vulnerability to attacks on their people, technology or products. The corporate security industry, which had been growing steadily in prominence and revenues before September 11, faces an unprecedented opportunity - and unprecedented challenges - as a result.
