13.07.22 - Webinar: SABRE: Security Assurance in the Procurement and Management of Buildings and Infrastructure

CPD

Date: Wednesday 13th July 2022 Time: 10:00am Details: This webinar is for Security Institute Members and guests About this event... SABRE: Security Assurance in the Procurement and Management of Buildings and Infrastructure This session will explain the importance of adopting a holistic, integrated and risk-based approach to security for built assets. Using the SABRE framework as a guide, the session will explore how a common methodology can be applied to any asset, irrespective of its lifecycle stage, to provide a measurable and comparable outcome. Owned by the BRE (Building Research Establishment) and operated by The Security Institute, SABRE is an award-winning methodology backed by third-party certification. Led by an independent Assessor, it seeks to advance transparency and professionalism in the management of security risks in the built environment, and in turn provide built asset stakeholders with valuable assurance. Delegates will be introduced to the assessment process, the thematic issues covered, and how to engage with the scheme. Hosted by Gareth Hulmes CSyP MSyI a Chartered Security Professional and Member of the Security Institute. With a background in architecture, crime prevention and more recently technical standards development, he also co-chairs the Institute’s Built Environment Security Special Interest Group. He has contributed to several strategic working groups focusing on specific security issues, including BREEAM, ATM crime and Building Regulations. Join us to find out more!

CPD

CSyPs Only. Date: Tuesday 19th July Time: 13:00 BST Bookings are now open for the third CSyP Networking session in 2022 with an expert speaker Andy Donaldson CSyP “You are either part of the solution, or part of the problem. Managing the threat of protests”. The frequency and severity of protests, for a range of reasons, continues across London and other major cities in the United Kingdom. In this session Andrew will discuss ways to effectively identify, assess and mitigate the risk of protest, applying some lessons learnt from dealing with other types of security threats. Andrew Donaldson is a Chartered Security Professional and Head of Security for Real Estate Management (UK) Ltd, responsible for security policy, strategy and crisis management at some of London’s most iconic buildings. He is also Co-Chair of the Security Institute’s Counter Terrorism Special Interest Group. He has an extensive career in international counter terrorism. We made a decision to hold this session over Teams instead of REMO. This is due to a significant percentage of CSyPs being unable to access this platform, and we want to be as inclusive as possible.

27.07.22 - Webinar: Protecting VIPs & Physical Assets from Hybrid Threats

CPD

Date: Wednesday 27th July 2022 Time: 10:00am Details: This webinar is for Security Institute Members and guests About this event... Protecting VIPs & Physical Assets from Hybrid Threats For this webinar we are joined by Constella Intelligence. The threat landscape for physical assets is hybrid: bits & bytes, gates & guards. COVID forced us to reset our approach to risk, and offer digital security when physical protection isn't an option. Principals and VIPs are getting younger, and consequently have bigger digital footprints. Likewise, they're expected to have opinions on polarising global issues. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals are now a factor in enterprise risk. Critical physical sites are vulnerable to political action, activism and consequences of global public opinion. There's an unmanageable amount of external risk, whilst more and more physical sites and VIPs are deemed too big (or, too connected) to fail. What options are there to absorb and predict digital threats to mobile or fixed assets, within protective services specifically? Join us to find out more!
