Course Overview
Security arrangements around border and crossing point security are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Insider risk in point security is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this part of corporate security practice is examined, not just described. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better border and crossing point security is rarely technical. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this strand of corporate security practice and the judgement to adapt it. Participants finish able to explain point security to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Improvement in border and crossing point security stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The content is relevant to those who own point security and to those who are held accountable for its results. The final session converts the week's work on this part of corporate security practice into commitments with owners and dates.
