Annual Conference 2021 to
centre around
‘Influential Security’
We are pleased to announce the theme and
speaker line-up for this year’s Annual Conference,
which will take place on October 28th. This
year’s conference will centre around the theme
of ‘Influential Security’, and will feature a wide
variety of speakers that focus on the far-reaching
influence of security.
Influencers can convince and coerce, inspire and
improve the social circle around them. The ability
to influence is central to security and directly
impacts every aspect of a security professional’s
role. Ultimately, to deter is to influence the
behaviour of would-be perpetrators. Also, beyond
deterrence security professionals must influence
to promote compliance and raise awareness
of threats. In the world of security, a variety of
concepts are used to influence behaviour. This
includes crime prevention through environmental
design and public awareness campaigns such as
“see it, say it sorted”.
However, our adversaries do the same, to
radicalise and inspire violence. To create fear in a
population and even using our media and social
media to deliver deep fake, epistemic risks that
influence populations to follow a path without
question.
The Conference will be compared by Brian Dillon
CSyP FSyI, a senior advisor in the government
security profession, and one of 200 Chartered
Security Professionals.
