The Alliance for Enterprise Security Risk Management: A partnership of the three leading international security organizations, formed to address issues surrounding the convergence of traditional and logical security.

Mission

The Alliance for Enterprise Security Risk Management (AESRM) was formed in February 2005 by ASIS International, ISACA and the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) to accelerate the adoption of converged approaches for enterprise security risk management.

The need for the alliance is predicated on the significant increase and complexity of security-related risks to international commerce from terrorism, cyberattacks, Internet viruses, theft, fraud, extortion and other threats that require corporations to develop a more comprehensive approach to protect the enterprise. That approach often features convergence, a holistic view of security that takes an integrated approach to information and traditional security. It ensures that all functions within the enterprise work together to identify and mitigate risks, and to effectively manage security-related incidents to reduce a potential negative impact on people, profitability and property.

The objectives of the alliance are to:

  1.  
  2. Develop adaptive risk models that embody interdisciplinary, enterprisewide security risks
  3. Increase understanding among executive management concerning the critical importance of enterprise security risk management
  4. Promote consistent enterprise security risk management positions to influence policymakers
  5. Contribute to the qualifications and competencies of senior executives responsible for security risk

The alliance will advance its objectives through research, executive seminars and other educational offerings to benefit security and other business executives.
