Assess the threat picture relevant to urban security planning rather than a generic one.
Designing Safe Smart Cities: Urban Security Planning
Turn urban security planning from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Insider risk in urban security planning 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. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this strand of corporate security practice under scrutiny. Participants apply urban security planning to their own protected site throughout, so the output is directly usable. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the practice within corporate security practice. Mature organisations treat the corporate security practice discipline as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The course sets out a working method for urban security planning that participants can apply the week they return. A common pattern is strong design of this part of corporate security practice paired with weak follow-through. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this aspect of corporate security practice sustainable.
