AESRM Offers Convergence Webinar
On 20 November 2007, AESRM hosted a webinar titled "The Convergence of Physical and Information Security in the Context of Enterprise Risk." The speaker was Adel Melek, MSc. , CISSP, CISM, CPA, partner and global leader for security and privacy services for Deloitte & Touche LLP. The webinar focused on the results of the study recently conducted for AESRM by Deloitte & Touche, which analyzed responses provided by security executives representing traditional areas of security responsibility and information protection. Specifically, the webinar touched on the general state of security convergence, the integration of converged security as part of ERM, the role of risk councils, and the benefits of a strategy for converged risk management. The webinar lasted one hour. The archived version is now available for view.
