European Salary Survey 2019 SSR Personnel annually surveys as many as 12,000 security professionals in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East to uncover trends in the field. This year, with support from ASIS Europe, SSR organized direct online mailing to more than 5,000 security professionals in Europe, with a higher-than-expected 10 percent return rate. In this year’s European sector, 67 percent of respondents held a regional security role, and respondents represented a broad slice of the private sector such as financial services, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, retail, leisure, and logistics. Taking into account the diversity of countries in Europe, SSR analysts then undertook a review of all client-submitted salary grades and total compensation (TC) schemes. For a number of companies, these provide a variable cash alternative that employees can opt to take. |

Addressing your CEO’s sleepless nights What has free thinking and entrepreneurship to do with security? Plenty if you work in security and risk management for the right company, where it is aligned to a centralised advisory structure. What has terrorism to do with the corporation? Very little today, unless it causes collateral damage. But in the future, corporations could be culpable for allowing company assets to be used to aid terrorists under new legislation being explored by the government. There is a failure by some organisations to understand the array of geopolitical risks they face. Or, an overreaction to compliance is seen in the three lines of defence model implemented by some financial organisations, with a belief that defence in depth will mitigate most challenges... But is the point of failure – the human being – still going to defeat this sophistication? |
Cyber and it's value in the corporate world The value of professionals in the cyber space cannot be underestimated. There is an open, flexible market with demand for personnel outstripping the available resources due to organisations, government and commerce, putting different labels on roles, which has a confudling effect around like for like roles. The changing threat landscape As recent events show, the threat from cyber is ever evolving: it is easy to buy 5m email addresses and send each of them an infected message, with a 1 in 1m chance of success. Ransomed hostage taking is a peculiar part of the criminal fraternity, not usually aggressive, but clever tactically, a grown up crime, hardly prosecuted, but believed to raise hundreds of millions in Euros across Europe each year. The Insider Threat accounts for more than 70% of intrusions. If security transgressions are managed solely in the information technology team, they may not join up the information dots in the broader sense of organisational risk. But there is often a big gulf on successful organisational application... |
