Terrorism is a complex risk; stay informed.

Resilient businesses use best practice tools, resources and information to better understand and mitigate terrorism risk. Be more resilient.

WELCOME TO COUNTER TERROR BUSINESS 365

As the new-look Government takes shape under Liz Truss, with the key appointments of Suella Braverman as Home Secretary and Tom Tugendhat stepping up as Minister for Security, we all hope that the conversations about getting the Protect Duty enshrined into UK Law will resume expeditiously. Indeed, the new Security Minister took the opportunity to demonstrate his support at the International Security Expo at Olympia London, at the end of September, where he also met with Figen Murray. So far, so good.

In the background, both Public and Private sector organisations are gearing up their preparations for when the Protect Duty comes into being. One of the key aspects for organisations in this, is the capacity classification of Publicly Accessible Locations (PALs) - *“A Publicly Accessible Location is defined as any place to which the public or any section of the public has access, on payment or otherwise, as of right or by virtue of express or implied permission.” – and alongside that the understanding of the associated risks, threat mitigation and most effective responses available in order to build resilience and to protect the public from the threat of a terrorist attack.

Risk assessment needs to be as dynamic as possible, to deal with the complexity and variety of risks for each specific location/ situation/ event. Among the multitude of tools available, what role does AI have in being able to augment our understanding of possible scenarios, by providing us with more sophisticated information and modelling scenarios to best protect people, places and assets?

Working with our partners at the Security Institute, attending any CTB365 event will earn you double CPD points – ensuring that you will not only take-home valuable information (available to download) from some of the brightest, sharpest minds our industry has to offer, but also accredited proof that you are committed to your own ongoing professional development.

We have changed the format of the session today to encourage more discussion between you the audience, and our speakers. You’ll see just three presentations, which allows us to extend the panel discussions. In many ways, these discussions are driven by you, so please use the Q&A tab to pose your questions, upvote others and generally use this opportunity to interact with some of the most knowledgeable people in the sector.

If you have any issues or questions, please ask for help from a Counter Terror Business member of staff on the general chat. Any feedback you might have would be most welcome. Please email us at: CTB365@psigroupltd.co.uk.

that you enjoy the morning and I look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

REGISTER TO DOWNLOAD FIGEN MURRAY’S MSC IN COUNTER TERRORISM

“Figen’s dissertation is well structured and well researched. She has challenged the validity of her own thinking about Martyn’s Law, publicly and critically. How many of us are brave enough to do that to the things we are passionate about? She has taken her campaign for Martyn’s Law to the next level by exploring what will be needed to make it a success. When I read her dissertation, I couldn’t help but think that if every great idea we had was supported by good quality research, our battle against terrorism would enjoy more success and would be more cost-effective.” - Nick Aldworth
