How Panasonic Successfully Scaled Its Security Program
A “good-on-paper” security program isn’t enough to reduce risk and protect employees in today’s threat landscape. It takes a visionary leader to scale a siloed corporate security function into a robust, successful company-wide program.
Andrew “Drew” Schrader, Head of Corporate Security at Panasonic North America, knows this all too well. He joined the company to help build strategic partnerships and secure stakeholder buy-in on security initiatives that protect Panasonic’s more than 250,000 employees. Drew joins the show to share how his background in law enforcement and non-traditional skillset contributed to Panasonic’s transformative security evolution.
Listen to our conversation to learn how to:
- Approach security improvement like Panasonic
- Secure buy-in for new security initiatives
- Align safety goals with company goals
- Bring the private and public sectors together to share information
