In episode 56 of The Cyber5, we are joined by Ray O'Hara, Executive Vice President for Allied Universal. We discuss the use of intelligence for corporate security programs, usually overseen by a Chief Security Officer (CSO). We talk about some of the challenges this role faces and how intelligence can be actionable to mitigate those risks. We also work through various case studies, talk about metrics for success, and what technology platforms are used to aggregate intelligence that might be useful in the future. Four Topics Covered in this Episode: Role Shift for Chief Security Officers (CSO) For many large organizations, the chief security officer is the chief strategist for organizing the holistic security strategy and obtaining board approval for the organization.  CSOs are no longer in the day-to-day planning around “guns, guard, and gates.” Instead, they are more strategically focused on business continuity, emergency planning, and crisis management. Risk to business leaders drives the daily activities of CSOs. They need to understand that other business leaders may choose to work around the threat to execute against profit and loss.   Intelligence Sources for Chief Security Officers Having a dedicated intelligence analyst is an important asset to a chief security officer.  Emerging markets, information on key suppliers, as well as competitor data is routine tasking for an intel analysis who is subordinate to the CSO.  Since security is a necessary cost center on the administrative function within organizations, intelligence analysts need trusted partners to handle the collection and analysis side of intelligence, including social media. Additionally, intelligence analysts ensure that collection and analysis are tailored to business management requirements.  Sentiment Analysis Combines CISO and CSO Functions Negative sentiment analysis against a company's brand traditionally falls within the CSO's GSOC function. However, this responsibility is starting to move toward information security due to threats to confidentiality, integrity, plus the needs for availability of data, systems, and networks from the Dark Web. As long as coordination is present, it doesn't matter whose lane covers social media sentiment analysis.  Social Media Monitoring Critical For Reducing Executive Protection Resources Executive protection is expensive when a physical security threat escalates. Effective social media monitoring and direct threat actor engagement help to derive the most accurate protective intelligence. They can be a more cost-effective way to monitor the danger without having 24x7 surveillance.

We put boundaries and limits on what we can and cannot do. You may think that you're protecting yourself by doing this, but you're missing life-changing opportunities! Look for reasons why you can, not why you can't do the things you want to do, and you'll be surprised by how much more there is to experience in life. In this episode, Allied Universal's Operations Director Adrian Moore joins us to talk about the stories that shaped his mindset. He shares how he made the most out of his six-month garden leave. He also shares his three proudest moments and the adversities that made him stronger. Tune in to this episode to know how you can live your best life! Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Find out Adrian's three proudest moments. Learn the mindset that pushed Adrian to accomplish his goals during his garden leave. Discover Adrian's ultimate secret to success Resources Vision Security Group Allied Universal® Join us at Project Me Academy! Coaching with Angela You're Better Than You Think You Areby Angela Cox Episode Highlights [02:57] The First Place Adrian Wants to Go to After Lockdown Depending on the time of the year, it would be skiing. If not, he'd like to travel and go to different places. He broke his ankle the year before when he was running. [04:52] Adrian's First Proudest Moment The first one is leaving Visual Security Group after ten years of working there and starting his own business with former colleagues. It did not push through, and he ended up with six months of garden leave. During his garden leave, he set goals that he wanted to do and wanted to achieve. He did mountaineering, learned how to skipper a boat, did life coaching, charity work, and supported local businesses. He was also able to spend a lot of time with his children and family. Adrian says that he took the garden leave as a gift to go further into many things. [06:39] The Mindset that Pushed Adrian He didn't want to waste the opportunity. He got to stay at home for six months while still having bills covered. Adrian read different magazines and looked at the fun things his friends have done. He wrote a list of what he wanted to do and planned them out month by month. Once he finished everything on the list, he felt like he was living his best life. [08:37] Doing a Life Coaching Course Adrian wanted to do something different when he went back to work. He wanted to go back with more experience and learnings. Doing live coaching allowed him to better support, coach, and mentor his team. [09:28] Adrian's Second Proudest Moment Children being born is one of the proudest moments. Adrian is a single dad to two girls, which he says is not an easy task. After leaving VSG, it struck him that he got to transition from work to his children's stability. During that transition chapter, he realised how much planning this stability of daily life takes. He did it with his daughters as a team, and he got them involved in what he's doing. He wants to be part of the mundane aspects of parenting and be involved with his children's school and everyday life. [15:31] Adrian's Third Proudest Moment His father ran hospitality-related businesses in the Lake District for 30 years before he passed. Starting to work for his dad at 11 years old influenced Adrian's mindset about business. Before his father passed, he asked Adrian to look after three things: his mum, his sister, one of the businesses he had. He says that it was a fantastic and proud moment. He sets up a call with his family as he promised his dad to keep them all going because they're all in different parts of the UK. Adrian joined the Army when he was 17. Then, he thought that his dad was disappointed in him because he didn't go into the family business. The knowledge he got from working in the restaurant at a young age set him up early. [20:00] Coping with Being Far Away from His Mum Because he's always been away since 17, he copes through phone calls. He's now used to it, but he still tries to pay a visit as much as he can. [22:03] The Adversities that Made Him Stronger One of the key things is around a business contract he worked on while he was in VSG. They lost a major contract that they've worked on for 18 months, leading to huge revenue loss. It was complete dead silence when he relayed the news to his team via conference call. But Adrian said that the exit of the contract needs to be just as professional as the entry. It wasn't anyone's fault; it was a business decision. He made sure to look after all the people involved during that tough time. He had to keep his morale in the right place for the team and think about what happened on his own time. Six weeks after his dad passed, his close colleague passed as well. Adrian suggests jotting down some of the things you really want to do regardless of when you'll do it. Look at the reasons why you can do it and what you'll get out of it. [32:20] Three Things that Put a Smile on His Face Being around people he loves. Getting out in the fresh air and exercising. Seeing other people happy. [33:07] The Ultimate Secret to Success Don't try and be great; be consistent in everything that you do. 5 Powerful Quotes [06:39] ‘I think it was just that I didn't want to waste the opportunity because how many people can say that they've got six months at home, they're still fortunate enough to be paid and all the bills are still covered and things' [12:24] ‘I want to be part of the actual, what I probably call the more mundane parts of parenting, in homework, the school life, and things as opposed to having all the great enjoyment of the weekends and things that most people in this position I suppose do' [13:47] ‘If you make your bed in the morning, you'll have accomplished a task first thing in the morning' [24:45] ‘There are uncontrollables. And sometimes those are the things that really stretch you—stretch your mindset, stretch your attitude—to how you operate in life' [30:57] ‘Don't look at the boundaries and the reasons why you can't; just think you can do it'   About Adrian Moore Adrian Moore is the Operations Director of Allied Universal® for the UK and Europe.

Wonder what it is like to have a career focused on getting the bad guys?...

When Drew Vollero arrived in the CFO office of Snap (formerly Snapchat) in 2015, the executives occupying the tech world’s traditional IPO talent bench no doubt raised a few eyebrows. Having spent the previous 25 years inside the corporate corridors of Mattel, Inc., and PepsiCo, Vollero had a resume chock-full of strategic planning initiatives that any finance leader would covet. Still, he could not be counted among the familiar CFO all-stars known for their routine rotation into IPO-minded tech companies. Of course, whatever buzz Vollero’s hiring may have stirred, Snap left no room for IPO skeptics, having earlier in 2015 hired Imran Khan, head of Internet investment banking at Credit Suisse, where he had recently led the IPO for Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. “Whenever we walked into a room together—on the road show or wherever—there were seven or eight people who knew Imran,” explains Vollero, who characterizes his pairing with Khan as “a one, two punch.” “The founders knew that I had experience in building world-class teams, and they knew that I could hit the ground running,” comments Vollero, who adds that “the match really made sense” in light of the tight time frame involved in Snap’s plans to go public. During the 18 months in the lead-up to the IPO, Vollero initially committed to a 70-mile commute to Snap’s Venice, Calif., headquarters from his home of 30 years in Orange County—a daily trek that became more daunting as IPO action items began pressing down.      Says Vollero: “I got an apartment up in Los Angeles, and I was there Sunday through Friday, moving the things that we had to get done.” These days, Vollero has been working closer to home while occupying the CFO office at Allied Universal of Santa Ana, Calif.  Despite his shorter commute, Vollero says, his days are once again becoming populated with IPO action items, as the $8 billion privately held supplier of security and facilities begins eyeing the public markets.   Comments the CFO and now IPO veteran: “We’re a founder-led company, just as Snap was founder-led—these companies tend to take on the personalities of the founder, and they drive hard.”  –Jack Sweeney  Signup for our Newsletter

  "Talent has become really important, and you have to remain constantly focused on it—today, I spend around 20% of my time on it." - Ross Tennenbaum, CFO, Avalara CFOTL: What are your priorities for the coming year? Tennenbaum: One is building out our finance and accounting talent to take us to a billion dollars’ worth of revenue and beyond. We’re at close to half a billion of revenue, and we’re looking to go well beyond that. You really need the talent that has experienced a larger scale, knows how to achieve it, and can take you there. So, talent has become really important, and you have to remain constantly focused on it—today, I spend around 20% of my time on it. CFOTL: What does the phrase “workforce culture” mean to you? Tennenbaum: Beginning in my investment banking days, I’ve studied many companies and management teams. I’ve seen teams that were really high-functioning, really strong, great cultures. I’ve also seen management teams and executive teams that were not cohesive. There was a lot of distrust and backstabbing. Each of these scenarios could generate great numbers and be performing well, but I would only want to invest my money in the one that has that trust and has a cohesive team—and where this is really being driven forward in a cultural way. I don’t think that Wall Street really has a view of this. There is really no metric internally—and certainly not externally—that gives this view on culture. But I think that investors are increasingly trying to get this view into talent and culture. Drew Vollero, CFO, Allied Universal When Drew Vollero arrived in the CFO office of security and facilities company Allied Universal in 2018, he understood that the primary constraint to Allied’s future growth remained human capital. Like so many other meaty challenges, Vollero had helped to remedy during his finance career– Allied’s new CFO understood finance must play an active role when it came to optimizing the company’s “employee funnel”.  Then Covid 19 arrived - overnight elevating Allied’s hiring hurdle to Vollero’s top of mind status.    We recently asked Vollero to explain how the company’s hiring priorities may have been altered due to the pandemic. Vollero: I would say that we hire 3,000 people a week. We see a million resumes a year here at Allied Universal. There's 150 million or so people employed in this country. So, you're talking about a meaningful number of resumes that this company sees. Our ability to hire the right people is really important. How do you do this at scale is really our challenge. Our strategy team has adopted a couple of new tools that helped us do that through the field. We now have an artificial intelligence vehicle that we're testing that will help us identify what are the key metrics when it comes to hiring and what are the key personality traits or key answers that applicants can give us that (signal) they will fit well with our culture, as well as indicate that they might be successful employees. We're also using an automated workflow to really help us get through some of our staffing bottlenecks. Our challenge here today is we may get a resume, but we may not be able to call you for six to eight weeks. Managing that workflow better is very important to us and something that we spend a lot of time studying the employment funnel. How do we find 150,000 of the best employees? We hire based on customer needs. Customers continue to need services and some have used less during the pandemic like the retail channel, or some of the local office buildings, but a lot of customers have asked for more hours. State governments have wanted more hours. Hospitals have wanted more hours. As we manage through the pandemic we've really focused on three important pieces.  First, and foremost, we focus on our employees. We've instructed all of our employees to follow the CDC and WHO guidelines, social distancing, very important. … We've supplied over 650,000 cloth masks to employees during that time. We've also been very active with virtual events, hiring people, so lot of kind of drive-through hiring events to practice social distancing, and meet the demand for security services and we still have a significant number of open posts and we've been trying to fill those.  The customers, we've got 30,000 customers. And these 30,000 customers have 13,000 different ways that they've attacked this situation. Different customers have done it different ways and we’ve tried to be responsive to their every step.  From a financial perspective, obviously during the pandemic, we've been focused on really the liquidity of the company. On the financial side, there's a couple of things that we've been trying to do to make sure that the company can continue to do well and to frame the magnitude, our payroll here is a $100 million a week, and we have to make sure that we have the ability to continue to pay the people who are working hard through this.
