Security Risk Assessment and Threat Vulnerability Analysis

Guard numbers and camera counts mean little without a defensible assessment of what could go wrong, how likely it is and what it would cost. This programme takes delegates through a structured methodology for identifying threats, rating vulnerabilities, calculating risk and translating findings into a costed security plan that a board or client can approve, using case studies from South African commercial and industrial sites.
