Course Overview

A control on university and education security that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Security arrangements around education security are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. The programme takes participants through this part of corporate security practice end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The version of university and education security described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this aspect of corporate security practice has actually achieved. Mature organisations treat education security as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make university and education security hard in practice. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for education security. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the corporate security practice discipline that would make a visible difference.
