Course Overview
Insider risk in security career pathways is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. A control on this part of corporate security practice that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Participants leave with a method for the wider corporate security practice agenda, not a set of opinions about it. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of security career pathways and supervised application. Comparative studies of this aspect of corporate security practice across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the practice within corporate security practice and under-invest in testing it. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about security career pathways under scrutiny. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this strand of corporate security practice. Participants leave with a plan for this aspect of corporate security practice sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
