Have you heard of the "Iceberg Model of Corporate Security?"

Written by Theseus Team | Sep 13, 2023 12:54:47 PM

Everyone uses the analogy of an iceberg in the ocean when describing situations that look simple on the surface, yet are far more complex when you take a look below. It's a metaphor that perfectly captures the hidden dangers lurking beneath seemingly calm waters of everyday operations at most facilities. Just like an iceberg, corporate security is not just about what you can see, but also about what lies beneath the surface.

Recently, we came upon an enlightening article that brilliantly applied this iceberg model to corporate security. The author beautifully highlighted how the visible aspects of security, such as security cameras and guards at the doors, are just the tip of the iceberg. There is a vast network of intricate systems and processes working tirelessly behind the scenes to protect people, assets, and sensitive information.

The article delves deeper into the various layers of the iceberg, revealing the complex mix of technology, policies, and human behavior that shape corporate security. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying factors that contribute to security vulnerabilities, such as incident response, executive protection, and threat management. By addressing these underlying issues, organizations can strengthen their security posture and minimize the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks.

So, if you're interested in delving deeper into the world of corporate security and uncovering the hidden dangers that may threaten your organization, we strongly recommend taking the time to read the "Iceberg Model of Corporate Security" article and then give us a call to see how Theseus can work with you to develop your security program.
