How to Create Intelligent Security

Risk is pervasive in the modern World and in many areas is increasing. Security intelligence should drive security operations in order to focus operations on the most urgent issues, generate enhanced effectiveness in the design and delivery of risk mitigation strategies and solutions and deliver cost savings across the function. Security Intelligence = Intelligent Security.

The new Developing Intelligence in a Corporate Security Environment course (click here for details) is intended for security managers or security operators and advisors in a range of industry sectors which face significant threats from adversarial elements. It is designed to deliver understanding and capability enhancement of the advantages to be gained by using high-grade intelligence relating to threats to the people, assets, operations and reputation of a company. Using realistic scenarios drawn from experience gained in the corporate environment, the course will impart understanding of the value and effective employment of a security intelligence capability in the routine execution of business operations and corporate decision making.

The course is built on best practice and a vast amount of experience in both the government and corporate sectors. Experience in this functional area has recently been gained in oil and gas in the African and Middle East environments as well as in other sectors in Europe. However, the course is not specific to any one sector or geographical region. The processes taught can be applied to any data set and any environment, allowing the course to deliver value to the widest possible audience.

The course will deliver knowledge of how best to conceptualise, design, create and operationally manage such a capability. It will also examine the challenges and responsibilities that come with such a capability and offer guidance and solutions that allow business leaders to manage them. This course will offer delegates the opportunity to take advantage of experience gained while delivering an end-to-end solution for one of the World’s largest companies in two of the most hostile operating environments.
