• Natural disasters (wind, water and fire)

CRITICAL SECURITY ISSUES


Vulnerabilities

• Unknown workforce

• Cyber security

CRITICAL SECURITY ISSUES


Prevention firstYour single most important priority should be prevention.

Protective countermeasures –including appropriate steps to “make security visible” –can deter or mitigate damages.

ADDRESSING THE RISKS


The benefits of a prevention-oriented strategy

• Saves lives

• Balances ends, ways, means and risk

• Deters potential attackers when they encounter a more secure site

• Improves attendee experience and well-being by creating an atmosphere of safety and security

• Protects attendance rates, revenues and reputation

ADDRESSING THE RISKS


Start by identifying your greatest risks, threats and vulnerabilities. Then drive all priorities, planning and investment from this risk-based perspective.

Take a risk-based approachADDRESSING THE RISKS


• Take a prevention-oriented, risk-based approach

• Integrate strategy, structure, people, process and technology

• Address planning and execution across prevention, response and recovery

• Leverage the three-perimeter model with escalating levels of security

• Maintain control over personnel, equipment and vehicles requiring access

FOUR CRITICAL DRIVERS OF SECURITY EXCELLENCE

• Education and training

• Non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements

• Internal reporting of suspicious activity and follow-up response

• Monitoring of public websites and social network content

• Emergency preparedness –train and test

• Video surveillance (video analytics)• Detection screening for chemical,

biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosives (CBRNE)

• High-tech security scanners (low millimeter wave detection, magnetometers, X-ray inspection)

• Countermeasures for cyber threats and hazards

• Tickets and credentials • Information security• Integrated data and communications• Redundancy and backup systems
