Data driven security refers to using measurable factors to drive a security program and reduce risk. Data driven security is a concept utilized by organizations operating in dynamic environments to effectively manage risk. Security professionals operating in today’s constantly changing environments face the unique challenge of providing security that reduces crime and loss, is cost effective, and does not expose their organizations to undue liability. Success can be achieved through a carefully orchestrated balancing act of three tasks:

1. Monitoring risk in real time or near real-time
2. Deploying effective security measures which reduce risk
3. Working within reasonable financial limitations

Data driven security is an effective method for balancing these tasks. In order to be successful at this balancing act, security professionals must not only be knowledgeable about security technologies, they must also be good business decision makers and risk managers. This e-book shows you how to develop a data driven security program for your organization.

Jackass Management
by Charles A. Sennewald
(e-Book)
$16.00

A Jackass Management Trait is a flaw in one’s managerial style that he or she knows is wrong, but persists in dealing with subordinates in that fashion, and hence it becomes inexcusably a Jackass Management Trait. Simple. Chuck has identified 32 jackass managers who characteristically indulge in one or more of the traits found in this book. In Chuck’s words, “It only stands to reason that employees who are resentful, disgusted, disappointed, feel cheated or abused, or are angry with their bosses are not going to do their best.” And this state of anger or resentment within the ranks is not conducive to achieving the security department’s mission.

With the objective of increasing security effectiveness in mind, the Jackass Management Traits are reborn and are shared in this work as perfect models of what every leader should attempt to correct, eliminate and/or avoid. With the help of some colorful cartoons, Sennewald identifies key management shortcomings in the security industry, provides relevant examples, and explains the ways in which these traits may be overcome.

You’ll find Chuck’s informal and conversational writing style to be a nice departure from the usual dry management books and the jackass cartoons to be helpful in understanding the concept.
