How to Evolve from Guns, Guards, and Gates to a Player and a Seat at the Table

​

In the security world, the term “Guns, Guards and Gates” refers to the perception of an enterprise that its corporate security group is only good for the basic duties of security and keeping employees and buildings safe.  While this is an important function of any corporate security group, the security and risk world must not be defined like this.  Corporate Security entities have fought this perception in their companies for years, some with success but many with no success.  Success in changing the perception of security and risk groups from Guns, Guards and Gates to being perceived as an integral part of an enterprise’s business is essential. Without a seat at the table and the support of the C Suite, security and risk entities cannot get budget for their programs and strategies and will never be considered a core part of the enterprise
