Test the organisation's response to field security training under conditions that are less than ideal.
Managing Field and Applied Training Programmes for Security Teams
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to field security training.
Course Overview
Insider risk in field security training is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. A control on the corporate security practice capability that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. The difficulty is not agreeing that this strand of corporate security practice matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of field security training rather than to abstract argument. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the practice within corporate security practice are used deliberately. Where this strand of corporate security practice is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The programme converts field security training from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this area of corporate security practice has actually achieved. The final session converts the week's work on this part of corporate security practice into commitments with owners and dates.
