The threat of international terrorism and the increasing number of natural disasters pose a growing challenge for the protection of critical infrastructures, many of which are operated by the private sector. And information technology, which has pervaded all areas of life and economic activity, brings new vulnerabilities.The German Government has produced an excellent guide in English on the protection of such infrastructures. The guide can be accessed via the ARC website by clicking on the link below:
Protecting Critical Infrastructures - Risk and Crisis Management. A guide for companies and government authorities
In 2009 ARC Training will be offering two new courses on the protection of critical infrastructure:
Protecting Critical Infrastructure, 17-21 August, is intended for security managers who manage the security of critical infrastructure - typically, energy, communications, water, finance, food, health and transport sectors. It will examine the range of threats to designated critical infrastructure, including external physical attacks, sabotage, terrorism, IT-based attacks and insider-assisted attacks, and includes strategies for risk management.

Managing Security Risks in the Oil & Gas Sector, 24-28 August, is a sector-specific programme intended for security managers or consultants in the oil and gas industry, or those seeking work in this sector. Drawing on case studies from around the world, it addresses some of the more complex risks associated with oil and gas operations in various environments and includes many practical exercises. Participants should have a baseline level of security management knowledge, such as that covered in Security Management Stage 1. For details click on the link below:
