Security consultant and author John Sullivant superbly covers everything from A-Z in this test providing proven strategies for improving organizational resilience and converting risks and thats into security solutions. A well-known author and frequent contributor to the ASIS International magazine, Security Management, Sullivant provides a detailed laundry list of actions and intersperses them with his own experiences as a security professional with skills in commercial and governmental management and consulting. Unfortunately, the publisher chose to condense the test material too tightly and did not allow for a good flow of information from one topic to the next. The editor should have added more spacing to allow the reader to easily digest and transition between topics.
Sullivant provides an excellent management perspective of the gaps senior security professionals typically miss when developing an organization from the ground up. He also provides some very good advice on the "how to" perspective when working with peers and executives. This book on organizational security covers a variety of relevant material for anyone that is interested in the subject, as well as any manager willing to undertake an internal review of their organization (or justify use of a consultant) and identify the gaps that may need to be improved. Sullivant performs a deep dive into the critical aspects of resiliency, building a corporate security culture, and the future of professional security.
