The cheerful dispositions of the sixteen delegates currently attending Security Management Stage 1 are matched by their capacity for hard work.
Wednesday was spent studying Physical Security, and today will be a day-long workshop on Information and IT Security - a very hot topic in the UK at the moment following the recent HMRC data loss, which has been described as the biggest data security incident in history. The workshop, which is open to outside day delegates, will cover, among other things: how to secure data, how to manage peripheral storage devices and portable media, and means to encrypt sensitive data, especially before sharing with other parties!
Phil Wood MBE CPP, the course leader, is delighted with the delegates’ enthusiasm and standard of active participation. The first assessment milestone occurs on Friday, when syndicates have to apply their learning and present their detailed security risk assessments for the course project, Sumatran Tiger, based around a major expanding multi-billion dollar industrial project in South East Asia.
Then, the delegates get a well-deserved weekend rest, before returning for a very intensive final week.
