Session 3

Bill Nelson

Bill leads Arup's Resilience, Security & Risk business in MENA. A former Lt Col in British Military Intelligence with broad international operational intelligence and security experience, he has worked in the private sector for 12 years. His commercial experience includes corporate security management with Mobil Oil and Bechtel; security service provision with G4S; latterly he operated as a freelance consultant on high risk projects. He worked in the Former Soviet Union for 2 years, and has now lived in the ME for 7. He speaks fluent Russian, and proficient French and German. He is SME on terrorist methods and tactics and Emergency Response Planning.

Abstract

Any visitor to the Middle East is familiar with unattractive ad hoc security measures, usually imposed after a serious security incident; invariably incongruous mitigation and worryingly of doubtful efficacy. Security consultants are often appointed almost as an afterthought, and their associated design and engineering activities have never enjoyed the same obligatory status as those that surround the design of fire prevention and safety. This ignores the potential to develop a risk-led approach offering savings to clients of proportionality, procurement, operational efficacies, and importantly–pleasing aesthetics. This presentation champions the cause of security risk management in the region's built space.

Session 4

Dr. Marc Siegel

Marc Siegel is Commissioner of the ASIS International Global Standards Initiative. He represents ASIS at the International Organization for Standardization and at regional and national standards forums. Siegel works with ASIS and national standards bodies to develop international and national risk management, resilience, security, preparedness, and continuity standards as well as provides training on their implementation. He is a RABQSA International Certified Security Management Systems - Business Improvement Lead Auditor as well as a trainer and RABQSA International Certified Skills Assessor for the ISO 28000 – Security in the Supply Chain Lead Auditor Certification Program. As an Adjunct Professor at San Diego State University, Siegel pioneered the concept of applying a systems approach to security and resilience management.

Abstract

Managing the risks of disruptive incidents is changing the world of security management. Enterprise risk management and a convergence of security, preparedness, crisis and continuity management are leading to a more holistic view of incident prevention and management that must support the mission of the organization and fit within the overall risk management strategy of an organization. For organizations to cost-effectively manage risk they must develop balanced strategies to adaptively, proactively and reactively address minimization of both the likelihood and consequences of disruptive events. The modern security, crisis and continuity professional needs to evolve to play multiple roles at once and learn to use the new standards for risk and resilience management.

The approach used at the FIFA World Cup, recognized as the Risk Management Project of the Year in South Africa, will be used as a case study.

Abstract

CPTED/Industrial – Crime Prevention through Environmental Design for Oil & Gas Facilities' applies the theories and practices of CPTED to Oil & Gas Facilities and other industrial facilities in a terrorist-potential environment. Through this application of CPTED to environmental design within Oil & Gas facilities, the psychological aspects of crime prevention are applied to deterring or defeating the terrorist or criminal threat at certain points along the planning, preparation, and execution phases in the planning cycle. Additionally, if effectively used, application of CPTED to Oil & Gas facilities alleviates facility employee fear or perception of fear, thereby improving the work environment and quality of life.

Abstract

Criminals and terrorists use the three gates approach to gain access to our companies assets and information. They attack our physical security measures (physical gate), they attack our IT security measures (logical gate) or they start working for our organization as an employee or vendor (human gate) and as such get automatic access to our assets. The only way to protect our companies against criminals and terrorists is a shared threat perception as a basis for security measures taken at all three gates. This presentation will explain the three gates approach and focus on our adversaries method of operation.

Session 23

Dr. Robin McFee

ASIS Council Member - Global Terrorism, Political Instability and International Crime Council. Chair/Co-Chair Global Terrorism Council conferences.

Abstract

Emerging diseases, environmental hazards – natural/manmade, terrorism, toxic weapons, crime, product vulnerability, political unrest, poverty – all can compromise the pillars of corporate security – protecting people, facilities, corporate function. Essential to security planning when operating in unstable environments is obtaining medical preparedness expertise. Too often such expertise is ignored or sought only as the emergency occurs, instead of beforehand to prepare for and even prevent potentially devastating exigencies. Preparedness experts can enhance the likelihood of successfully functioning in dangerous environments. There's an urgent need for security and med-prep experts to collaborate. Best practices based upon assisting clients world-wide will be discussed.

Abstract

Successful organizations where security has been centric to its success have discovered that staff support and participation is crucial to ensure high levels of security environment. Easiest but erroneous methodology widely adopted to address security concerns is to pump in money, which is made readily available after any media tracked security incident for acquiring of security equipment. Individual staff attending any customer is trained for looking out for physiological details in a very non-intrusive manner. Investing effort wisely to educate and train our staff [non-security personnel], stressing upon the importance of their contribution on the detection/prevention of security related incidents would pay rich dividends.

Session 27

Abstract

Security Engineering provides vulnerability assessments and new and retrofit designs for protecting people, structures and business operations from terrorist attacks including explosive, forced entry, mob, ballistic, and mortar and standoff weapon attacks. In High Threat environments, there are often no predetermined design criteria, and the threats are fluid and can rapidly worsen. The security engineering team must consider: multiple threats, often in combination as complex attacks become more prevalent; long to non-existent response times from local law enforcement; safe haven and evacuation requirements in hostile territories; and limited access to sophisticated building techniques and materials.

Abstract

Research from various sources indicates that economic crime (including fraud, corruption and economic espionage) impacts on the vast majority of international corporations. Initiating, conducting and managing investigations into suspected cases provides a wide range of challenges for corporate security professionals, ranging from operational issues to legal considerations. At the same time, increasing regulation across the globe and many sectors mean that the importance of providing results to support the business is becoming more and more important. This presentation will discuss the investigative process, focusing in particular on the challenges associated with cross-border operations and multi-jurisdictional environments.

Rens de Wolf

Rens has been working with Fox-IT since 2002, where he has been the company's security officer for several years. In his current role as manager of the UK office and business development manager for the government, automation and Critical Infrastructure (CI) markets he is responsible for working together with these organisations to develop and implement security controls that provide the best level of security. The latest developments in the US and EU regarding Critical Infrastructure Protection are his current focal point and through Fox-IT he is involved with several large CI entities to ensure they are well protected from cyber threats through the application of leading edge technology.

Abstract

Recently, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has published the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards, providing a compliance framework for the protection of national critical infrastructures, like nuclear power stations, smart grids, public transportation networks, gas and oil refineries and water treatment facilities. To protect these infrastructures from cyber attacks an Electronic Security Perimeter (ESP) must be established. The European Union and other countries are expected to follow soon. This presentation delves into the requirements for critical infrastructure protection, the reality of the threats and the mitigation options. Through real-world cases and examples NERC-CIP theory is put in practice.

Abstract

The integration of varied types layered physcial security equipment including barriers, fencing, intrusion detection sensors (IDS) and personnel greatly reduces the risks associated with potential threats. A key component of the design of layered sets of sensors is to understand the method in which one can perform the following activities to protect an asset:

• Delay
• Deny
• Deter
• Detect
• Assess
• Respond

In today's environment, the technology available to perform the above tasks is a combination of physical devices, sensors, networks, along with and existing legacy equipment, processes, and personel. The current approach to deploy best in class proven solutions where multiple layers and physical barriers support Delay through Deter and sensors such as CCTV, IDS, and radars are used to Detect and Assess. In order to provide usable information to a human or software-based threat assessment process, the information created by the above layers needed to be coordinated is a common user interface, historical database for forensics, and possibly a real-time event or mass notification system.
