Securing critical infrastructure from the inside out is top of mind for most security and risk leaders. When it comes to legislation, Australia is leading the charge with the recently updated Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act. It is just a matter of time before other countries follow suit, raising big questions for how to develop an insider program to meet regulations. Join DTEX Systems, Providence Consulting and Australian Department of Home Affairs for a virtual workshop on 9 May (Australia time) for a constructive session on what it takes to build and mature a robust insider risk program as part of a Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program (CIRMP).   ➡ Register here: https://lnkd.in/g6wWw9YW #soci #criticalinfrastructure #insiderrisk #insiderriskprogram #insiderthreat #riskmanagement Jack Suriano James L.

Setting up national security "criticality factors” for future crises is a crucial step towards mitigation and preparation. Defining criticality at the national level involves understanding the importance of information and systems in the face of escalating conflicts or crises. Adopting a forward-looking crisis-informed approach to national security would help to determine criticality levels and institutionalize a response that could prevent future intelligence failures or catastrophic losses.

Important and timely guidance on the subject of employee safety from International SOS in this age of hyper-uncertainty. Well worth a listen.

Today’s latest report from the Security Research Initiative highlights the untapped potential for police and private security to work together. Despite distinct roles, both professions share common goals: reducing crime, protecting people and property, and gathering valuable intelligence. 📥 Read the full announcement and download the report here > https://lnkd.in/gMhDtTDZ   The report explores 12 distinct types of collaborative working, as well as the benefits and barriers to working together. Further the report identifies 6 key opportunities to improve collaboration.   Professor Martin Gill who led the research noted:   ‘Our research indicates that security professionals saw significant value in collaborative working with the police, particularly to better protect the public as well as organisations. There were many examples of joint initiatives which were considered beneficial. However, it was also apparent that much potential was untapped; that there is a general lack of joint working and that partnerships often do not achieve their full potential because of common barriers. Further, security professionals consider themselves to be more enthusiastic about collaborative working than they perceive the police to be. The Policing Vision 2030 sets an objective to collaborate more to prevent crime, and this includes with businesses. What is needed now is strong leadership with a strategy to move collaboration forward. Indeed, since undertaking the research, I have been invited to chair a roundtable event in December with representatives from the police and private security to explore and set ambitions for a renewed approach to collaborative working. I look forward to seeing these discussions progress.’ Thank you to the SRI members who sponsored this research: Carlisle Support Services, CIS Security Limited, G4S, Interr, Marks and Spencer, Mitie, PwC, OCS, Royal Mail, Securitas UK, Security Industry Authority, & Sodexo. 📥 Read the full announcement and download the report here > https://lnkd.in/gMhDtTDZ   The Security Research Initiative is supported by leading security associations - ADS Group Ltd, ASIS International - UK, British Security Industry Association (BSIA), IFPO UK (International Foundation for Protection Officers), International Professional Security Association (IPSA), The Security Institute and The SASIG Events.
