Course Overview

A control on security scenario analysis that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Most security failures involving the corporate security practice discipline exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. Mature organisations treat the corporate security practice capability as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting security scenario analysis, ready to be adapted internally. Participants leave with a method for this area of corporate security practice, not a set of opinions about it. Participants who influence this part of corporate security practice without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Most organisations already have a policy on security scenario analysis; far fewer can show it working. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this aspect of corporate security practice hard in practice. The programme closes with an action plan for the practice within corporate security practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
