- September 11- WHAT EXECUTIVES MUST DO TO PROTECT THEIR ORGANIZATION IN THE NEW GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT
Javier F. Kuong and MASP Consulting Group
The events of
September 11 and other global threats of bio- and Cyber terrorism attacks have awaken the
business and government communities to the dire need to assess their level of preparedness
and the need to overhaul their enterprise wide protection and business continuity
programs. Since unprecedented events of this nature and magnitude have never occurred
before, we must conclude that present protection and contingency plans were not designed
to deal with the sheer magnitude and destruction level that September 11
events demonstrated.
The US Office of
Homeland Security and the FBI continue to warn us that potential additional attacks could
still materialize given that there are hundreds of dormant terrorist cells waiting for the
opportunity to attack again. The events of
September 11 demonstrated that an organization does not have to be attacked directly to be
adversely impacted because of the collateral damage from dependency on other
organizations, government and public infrastructure, including the Internet. Recent
surveys indicate that protection of employees; key business processes and business
continuity for survival are foremost in executives’ minds.
MAP-51 is addressed to the needs of executives and
senior professionals who must act swiftly to protect their enterprises and initiate action
plans to assess their state of readiness and launch an overhaul of their current
enterprise protection programs.
This unique and pragmatic manual provides you practical guidelines to spearhead a program overhaul for your enterprise protection needs and shows you how to select the most effective protection strategies to address both preventive before-the-event and after-the-event recovery programs to deal with unavoidable threats and disasters.
MAP-51 focuses on approaches and strategies to deal with the new threats of terrorism, cyber terrorism and other threat sources that can place your company in serious jeopardy. YOU NEED A COPY OF MAP-51.
