Agenda

Part 1 of a Two-Part Session - You must have registered for Breakout Session 2A to attend this session

Part 1 of the workshop will be where participants will learn about TRAs. This presentation will review the TRA process in accordance with the 5 step process outlined in the OPS Physical Security TRA Workbook. It will also highlight the reasons why TRAs are required and draw attention to what employees can do in their everyday routine to mitigate existing vulnerabilities in an interactive setting.

In Part 2 of the workshop, the participants will be invited to walk through various areas in the facility in order to conduct a simulated assessment. This ‘hands-on’ approach will test and challenge the participants on their newly obtained skills from the classroom session. As well, it will afford each participant an opportunity to breakaway from the tedious view of normal everyday routine and introduce them to a different perspective on security issues.

Online risks can come from a number of predators such as cyber bullying, identity theft, scams, hate organization recruitment and propaganda, as well as many other criminal elements.

The dialogue surrounding the idea of security is one that continues to resurface in the mainstream media. In the aftermath of 9/11, an entire continent, if not, certainly a nation, was unified in their opposition to terror. However, we now find ourselves in a time where this very dialogue is becoming increasingly polarized – and the media can and does play a role in this dialogue.

Fraud, theft and employee misconduct have long been an unfortunate business reality. But new economic and competitive pressures have changed the landscape, introducing new risks and putting many organization's reputations on the line. Outsourcing, mobile employees, off-shore operations and new technologies have complicated the job of protecting business assets and reputations. No public-facing organization wants the unwelcome scrutiny and financial impact that comes with fraud, regulatory and compliance issues, contracting problems or other business irregularities. This presentation will examine why people commit fraud and explain antifraud programs and controls that will help reduce this issue.

To deal with emerging threats to our future security environment such as acts of terrorism, security professionals require an understanding of how people become radicalized. In this talk, I provide a psychosocial account of how individuals come to perpetrate acts of violence in the name of a political or ideological cause. Notwithstanding the difficulty with identifying one ‘terrorist profile’, research in the areas of individual and group psychology speaks to the broader question, 'what are the indicators and determinants of violent extremism?' Some specific questions that will be addressed include:

• What is radicalization?
• What personality traits, experiences and emotions facilitate radicalization?
• What roles do social identity and group dynamics play in the perpetration of radical behaviour?

Finally, we will discuss implications for security professionals in helping to prevent, detect, and mitigate threats due to radicalization and violent extremism.
