broad range of security issues, from risk identification and prevention to
preparedness, response and recovery. “Risk management has become the CEO’s
concern,” he says. “We help our clients develop comprehensive
strategies to manage risk without building barriers that get in the way of
carrying on their business.”
Before heading
up the Department of Homeland Security, Mr. Chertoff
served as a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
