Security Management Training and Anti-Terrorism Awareness – The Insider Threat

Although statistically, your organisation is probably unlikely to be the victim of a direct terrorist attack, you may well become an indirect victim, especially if you are located in a built-up area where a threat is know to exist, such as London.

The Corporate Response to Terrorism Workshop, a follow-on programme from The Protection against Explosive Devices Workshop, examines the key elements of a corporate antiterrorism strategy. One of the areas addressed is the increased threat from insiders, who may have been planted inside your organisation for the purposes of target identification and hostile reconnaissance. Sounds to far fetched to be true?

On 10th March the UK Police Oracle reported on allegations that a sleeper cell of Al-Qaeda spies has infiltrated London’s Metropo0litan Police, and is being kept under surveillance by security services. MI5 has apparently identified 4 officers who, it is believed, have been passing secrets to terrorists.
