Rachelle Loyear, vice president of integrated security solutions at Allied Universal, a security and facility services provider, has released her third book, a practical guide focused on enterprise security risk assessment and strategy.

Available now, the book is designed for corporate security leaders, risk professionals and business executives responsible for building resilient, business-aligned security programs in today’s evolving threat landscape.

“Security leaders are now expected to contribute to strategic business decisions while still being able to respond effectively to incidents,” Loyear said.  “This book is intended to help them do both — providing a practical approach to communicating risk and making informed security investment decisions that align with organizational priorities.”

Drawing on her experience in the field, Loyear outlines a structured Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) approach centered on three core questions: what needs to be protected, what needs to be protected from and how to protect it effectively and efficiently. The book also brings the concept of effects-based security to ESRM, linking strategy to execution and helping ensure security strategies deliver meaningful, results-driven outcomes.

The book is available at Routledge/Taylor & Francis, Amazon and other major booksellers.
