What is Corporate Defense Management (CDM)?

Corporate defense refers to a collection of programs, measures, and strategies that a company uses for its self-defense. This includes how a company is governed and how its operations are aligned to serve as its justification for defense in times of danger. 

Corporate Defense Management (CDM) is a framework that organizations use in integrating their constituents and managing their components to achieve a corporate defense program. CDM is often multidimensional and strategic. This type of management encompasses the key components of an organization which include governance, control measures, risk, security, compliance, resilience and others to achieve a tenable corporate defense program for the organization.
