Managing Insider Risk through a Pandemic
Wednesday 16th June 2021

For this webinar, we were pleased to be joined by David BaMaung
CSyP FSyI and Ian Crossley MSyI Co-Chairs of our Insider Risk Special
Interest Group (IRSIG).

The Pandemic over the last year and a half has changed the way we
work and live. It has presented challenges and additional risks, and
this webinar focused on the area of people risk. We discussed how
we can ensure that our organisations remain secure from attack
and infiltration by both external threat actors and staff members
who try and work against it. We identified some of the key risks and
how they can be managed, at a time when the role of people in an
organisation has never been more important.

Crowded Places / Publicly Accessible Locations (PALs)
Wednesday 23rd June 2021
Joined by the Head of NaCSTO, Superintendent Adam Thomson, we
discussed the shift in policy towards protecting publicly accessible
locations (PALs) in this webinar

UK Government and NaCTSO are moving away from a model where
specific sites are prioritised to one where the operating structure
is set up to improve the protection of the public wherever they
go. The proposed introduction of the Protect Duty and the design
and implementation of the PALs future operating model (FOM)
is likely to result in a significant uplift in responsibility for many
organisations that operate, or operate within, a publicly accessible
place.
The current Crowded Places model meets the needs of the larger
organisations, the PALS model will meet the need of existing and
emerging threats and also the needs of the many new, and often
much smaller, organisations so they are better able to protect
themselves, their customers and the public.
Attendees heard of the work ongoing with the Homeland Security
Group to deliver Publicly Accessible Locations. A future model to
better protect the UK from terrorist attack.
