Cyber-attacks happen to the best. Organisations no longer just ‘throw the cyber challenge over the wall’, so the IT and/or IT Security department can deal with it. Physical Security professionals need to understand how they can optimally contribute, particularly in context of physically protecting on-premises IT equipment, and in relation to IoT devices. Other business managers must be able to assist in assessing Cyber Risk in terms of reputational, financial and operational impacts.

In this session, the Facilitator will be demystifying aspects such as:
• the discrepancy between Cyber and Information Security
• why Cloud is not the ‘be all and end all’
• the changing nature of Cyber Insurance
• how to handle bedazzling Cyber ‘lingo’ including ISO 27001

Speakers:
Rinske Geerlings, Managing Director, Business As Usual
PROF.MR.DR.IR. SICCO SANTEMA, Professor of Networked Innovation, University of Technology, Delft (the Netherlands)

CSOs and physical security professionals are looking more and more at how to get security and their function recognized at a C-Suite ERM level. Wanting to move from being seen as a cost or minimum requirement, to becoming a risk management function integral to the business.

A path to this is through understanding company structures, Annual Reports, Risk Registers, regulatory ERM requirements, benchmarking, and what a company does and does not commit to with regard to security as an ERM Principal Risk Mitigation Measure.

Through the reality of a high-profile civil lawsuit against a Fortune 100 company in which the presenter went from defending corporates in ERM cases to prosecuting as the Expert Witness, this path will be revealed.

Speaker: Andy Williams, Director, Crilly Consulting Ltd

Events in the physical world can have a crippling impact on IT and critical infrastructure systems – and attacks on systems outside your control can have implications for your enterprise. Join cyber & dark web SME Nate Green for an interactive session focused on lessons learned from case studies in cyber-physical convergence, including a focus on the enterprise security impact of geopolitical conflicts and events.

Speaker: Nathan Green, Senior SME, Cyber Risk, Dataminr

In general, asset protection describes measures designed to ensure safeguarding of people, assets and information for any non-market related threats. In our attempt to implement those measures we are focusing on obvious threats missing the ones which are falling in between physical and information security controls. In this session discussion will be about those threats and what does it take to address them properly.

Speaker: Aleksandar Jakovljevic, Director, Head of Physical Security, Telenor ASA

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has plunged Ukraine into its deepest crisis in the past century. Mastercard’s people and business have been directly impacted by this conflict, and our global team stepped up to protect and support our staff and their families.

Since the start of the invasion, our teams continue to support our people and focus on the safety and well-being of our employees and their families.

Three years of managing the COVID-19 pandemic followed by the Russia/Ukraine war has proven that companies must be equipped to face unprecedent crises to be able to survive. When adapting ourselves to this new reality, agility and preparedness must be deeply integrated in any company’s DNA.

Speakers:
Sonia Neffati, Regional Chief Security Officer, Europe, Mastercard
Raphael Marquegnies, Regional Security Officer, Security Operations Europe, Mastercard

Looking well beyond the September 2022 Nord Stream gas pipeline attacks, this presentation will focus on how a series of corporate crises caused by espionage and sabotage operations in Europe in Q3 and Q4 of 2022 all believed tied to the Ukraine conflict have brought about a profound new understanding of the requirements for corporate crisis preparedness in these areas.

The presentation will examine these threats' impacts on risk appreciation, crisis preparedness and crisis management, with learnings derived from different - mostly hidden - recent crises in Europe offering the audience key insights on addressing them. This will cover both internal and external security and crisis control do's and don'ts, including interaction with national security agencies.

Speaker: Glenn Schoen, CEO, [email protected] B.V.

Cecilia Bonefeld-Dahl, Director General of DIGITALEUROPE

A constant crisis mode seems to be the New Normal: Political conflicts, supply chain disruptions, climate change risk and economic crises are now challenging businesses in addition to ever-growing threats like cyber-attacks. Is your organization prepared for this change in paradigm?

In the past, when crises were rare events, we usually had at least some time to learn and prepare for the next crisis – but now that we are facing crises more frequently and even simultaneously how does it impact your approach to crisis preparedness?

Are high-risk areas really identified and minimized with justifiable financial or procedural effort? Are we building luxury continuity measures because we are totally shocked by these constant crises, or should we work together in a more coordinated way in the areas of risk, crisis and BCM and thus achieve better results for the company?

At the end of the day, one thing is very clear: the more resilient your organization is, the better your chances of surviving and succeeding in these disruptive times. Let’s discuss what this means for you and how to ensure that resilience is a competitive advantage for your organization.

Speaker: Markus Epner, Head of Academy, F24 AG

Security professionals unfortunately experience that it very often takes an incident (sometimes several) to be able to move security forward in an organization. The incident allows us to identify weaknesses that were overlooked, to reveal the practices that are not aligned with the company policies, etc.

Improving security, re-aligning with policies and best practices, is critical after an incident. However, it sometimes takes a huge effort and isn’t always fully successful.

What could an organization do to ensure the appropriate level of protection is implemented and to prevent other incidents from happening?

Based on real-life cases, this interactive session will focus on sharing practical experiences on how to concretely improve the security approach within an organisation after an incident.

Speakers:
Isabelle Claes, CPP, Security & Crisis Manager, Egis Group
Aurelien Lambert, Chief Security Officer, Egis Group

Supply chain risk management and resilience must be key focus areas for all businesses as it has become increasingly important. Rising supply chain complexity brings with it more potential failure points and consequently higher levels of risk. Dropping economies, surging energy prices, severe material shortages, and returning COVID-19 outbreaks compounded risk to cause major supply chain disruptions over the past twelve months across the globe. To achieve resilient supply chains, this session will highlight clear win-win scenarios from a business risk management perspective, it provides industry insights to existing challenges and future key drivers. It will provide practical guidance to strategically identify, measure, and manage key supply chain risks and processes, improve resilience, and add value to your business.

Speaker: Alexander Zippel, Senior Global Security & BCM Operations Manager, DHL Supply Chain

ASIS Ukraine Chapter Chair Mykola MIKHEIEV, CPP, PSP, PCI, CFE will provide up-to-date practical advice for organisations with expat employees working on the ground in Ukraine.

Many IGO, NGOs, and diplomatic missions have returned to full capacity in Ukraine, so the session will provide valuable insights on:
• Travel security: how to arrive in Ukraine, understanding distances, recommended means of travel etc.
• Residential Security: where to stay or shelter, criminality concerns etc.
• MedEvacuation and Medical assistance to Expats in Ukraine
• Preventing fraud in operations in Ukraine (background checks and due diligence)
• Outlook for resilience in Ukraine


Session leader: Mykola Mikheiev, ASIS Ukraine Chapter Chair

Geopolitical risks and high-magnitude global security risks are of increasing importance to non-security stakeholders and Corporate security teams face particular challenges amid wider economic headwinds of budget cuts at a time when they can add real value to senior decision-making – how they can use intelligence to demonstrate business value beyond protection and crisis management ?

This session will look at:

- the opportunities and risks for security leaders in adding value to the enterprise in a briefing on issues of wider strategic significance to boards
- Lessons learned from the security and intelligence leaders that are successfully engaging senior non-security stakeholders
- Opportunities for CSOs to position security as a strategic business enabler as well as an operational one

Speaker: Henry Wilkinson, Chief Intelligence Officer, Dragonfly

The failure to predict is a failure to protect. Simulation of aggressors' modus operandi through proper Red Teaming pushes the limits of what security operations think is possible and illuminates vulnerabilities. Red Teams create security innovation and truly proactive security operations. Designing and maintaining an effective Red Teaming program is the must-have component of any security operation, regardless of size and risk profile. This session will provide a detailed overview of an advanced red teaming program, application, and red teams' impact via case studies, standard processes, methods, team composition, and methodology to execute and manage effective red teams and red teaming programs.

Speaker: Michael Rozin, President, Rozin Security Consulting LLC

The Women in Security Breakfast Meeting at ASIS Europe 2023 has been organised by the ASIS UK & Romania Chapters with the purpose of facilitating open and honest conversations around sensitive topics that often make people feel uncomfortable in the workplace.

We believe that creating a safe space for discussions around difficult topics is vital in promoting a more inclusive and supportive workplace culture. Our aim for this event is to raise awareness, increase understanding, and explore ways to tackle sensitive issues like menopause, period, sexual harassment, racism, mental health, and more.

This function will be conducted in a workshop style, where attendees will be seated in groups and handed cards with various uncomfortable words. We hope that this approach will encourage participants to share their experiences, thoughts, and ideas on how we can create a more diverse, inclusive, and respectful workplace for everyone.

We are committed to promoting a workplace culture where all employees feel safe, respected, and valued. We hope to facilitate meaningful discussions that lead to positive changes in our industry.

We encourage all participants to attend and discuss this important topic.

Keynote speaker:
Cecilia Bonefeld-Dahl, Director General of DIGITALEUROPE

2022 has proven to be one of the most turbulent years of this century and is viewed by many as a harbinger of things to come. Whether it be Russian forces invading Ukraine, struggles for control of the Middle East, or an ever more assertive China, it becomes clearer that power politics are back on the menu in international relations. Leaders around the world are scrambling to cope with a political reality of national interests and spheres of influence that seemed anachronistic to many stakeholders just a year ago.

Geopolitical issues are becoming increasingly prominent on the radar of Corporate Security professionals. According to the recent survey, Corporate Security Professionals put geopolitics among the top challenges to come in the next 5 years. As the tensions keep on raising across the globe, it is incumbent on businesses to understand how Geopolitics will impact them and their objectives. The workshop will address the current geopolitical trends, potential future scenarios and their implications for businesses and security.

During the workshop, participants will have a chance to work in smaller groups to discuss and determine what Geopolitical trends mean for them and what consequences they might have for their companies as a whole and their work as security professionals.

Speakers:
Jens Paulus, Partner, PWC
Dr. Peter Eitel, Senior Manager, PWC
Nana Kalandarishvili, Manager, PWC

This interactive workshop will address the challenges of sourcing, selecting and contracting guarding services. It will explore perspectives from both the buyers’ and providers’ perspective, promote discussion and gather insights from the audience on how to address shared challenges.

The session will focus on three interdependent aspects:
- Availability of sufficient, skilful and suitable guarding staff in light of global economic and security trends and challenges, fluctuations, subcontracting, employment levels and more.
- Quality and competence of guarding services to perform their tasks, performance management, vetting, conflicts, training and certification.
- Cost of guarding services, ROI and financial considerations, creeping costs, technology trade-offs, innovation and market forces.

All the challenges above are ultimately reflected in the cost vs value for the end client – after an introductory presentation, attendees will join the debate to help find the most sustainable solutions, supported by an experienced panel representing key stakeholder groups.

Workshop Facilitator:
Gilad Solnik, CPP, PSP, Director, Security and Loss Prevention, EMEA at Amazon

Bestseller, Danish MOFA, Control Risks, Maersk Oil, European Central Bank and EY I will share some of the takeaways from very different organisations and circumstances. From 3 of these organisations, I will share real life situations with the participants, and they will in each case discuss in groups how they would react to those situations. After each, I will share what actually happened and what could be learned from the outcome.

Speaker: Bruno Kalhoj, Security Director, EY

Discuss with your new connections, catch up with industry colleagues and exchange about the learnings of the day - meet in the exhibition for a happy hour sponsored by Seerist.

There is an unfortunate reality in the supply chain, and is that, despite the companies being more and more aware of the issues and the need to protect their goods inside their facilities and to be vigilant for cybersecurity risks, the logistics remain the often forgotten weakest link in supply-chain security: companies that would spare no expenses to make sure that their warehouses are as secure and safe as possible wouldn’t think twice before simply assigning transportation contracts to the lowest bidder, a situation that the current supply-chain bottlenecks and scarcity in the container and trucking market has only exacerbated, with companies often lowering their transportation standards just to make sure that the goods would get out of the door.

This leaves the goods, which are often so well protected when inside the facilities, exposed to a multitude of dangers and risks that could vary a lot between areas, especially for intercontinental multi-modal shipments: in the global supply chain, a shipment can be exposed to a high risk of pilferage in Germany, hijacking in South Africa or a last mile hit in Southern Europe. It doesn’t help that the criminal charges for some of these acts tend to be quite more lenient than attacks on facilities, making the targeting of this component of the supply-chain especially attractive to certain criminals, and that the methods used to target shipments are continuously changing: it’s a sad fact that in this area the criminals might be often faster to adapt and more innovative than many of the people on the security side.

Of course, there are steps that a company could take to maximise the prevention for these events, even in the current market where it can be difficult to find available transportation, let alone a top notch and certified trucking company: a multi-layered approach based on IOT and telematics, a high-standard security plan inclusive of a continuous auditing of the performance and compliance, a list of quick response 24/7 solution protocols for any possible situation together with a strong intelligence could improve reducing the loss on any kind of lane, no matter how risky the area and how appetible the goods might be. Also, it’s important to mention the involvement of insurance, which, while certainly an important part for risk management in the supply chain, is ideally not the only solution that a company would rely upon, as such an approach would still leave anyone vulnerable to other issues, such as reputational ones.

To sum it up, we are living through challenging times, with continuously shifting criminal hotspots, logistical bottlenecks, and technological dangers; but this should not discourage anyone from improving the performance (also of their providers) and mitigate risk within their supply chain: as many new risks emerge out there, new solutions, unthinkable of even 5 years ago, are not lacking either.

Speaker: Marco Cosentino, EMEA Program Manager, Overhaul

To excel in intelligence analysis, organizations must ensure that their outputs are timely, accurate, and relevant. The Ukraine conflict has shown the vital imperative of delivering the best possible information to protect lives in Ukraine, as well as to enable decision-makers to make the right strategic decisions. The conflict has also presented new challenges in the harvesting and analysis of open-source data. Issues include the quantity and diversity of different media, the degrees of misinformation, disinformation, and operational security, and the human dimension of an industrial state-on-state war.

This presentation will consider the lessons learned so far from this conflict, and the challenges of open-source intelligence analysis, through the perspectives of timeliness, accuracy, and relevance of information. Using recent examples, the presentation will demonstrate the additional challenges that this conflict raises in managing information from data sources to clients.

Speaker: Chris Clough, Senior Intelligence Analyst, Crisis24

In this session, Andrew Devereux, Risk Intelligence Manager at Healix, will discuss how forward looking analytical techniques are an essential component of the analyst’s toolset, enabling better decision making at the tactical, operational and strategic levels. Andrew will discuss the distinctions between indicators and scenarios, and cover a range of the most commonly used analytical techniques that can help identify driving forces of risk and imagining how these might play out.

Speaker: Andrew Devereux, Risk Intelligence Manager, Healix

Current challenges in the security domain are known. The increasing threats need to be tackled by a decreasing workforce. The threats are also more incidentally and of high impact. Public VIPs experience increased threats by demonstrators. Also at harbours there is an traffic-increase by drug couriers. In the past more manpower was sufficient to overcome these threats. Nowadays this is not possible anymore. Robotic biomimicry as a scientific and engineering approach looks at the excellent solutions nature has developed throughout its evolutional path and mimic’s these by robotic technologies and products. In nature predators are known for its energy efficient ways of capturing their preys. For the security domain this translate to capturing intrudors. The example of a spider is shown as a completely working and validated innovation to robotize the workforce and make them more effective.

Speaker: Dr. Dirk Bekke, Innovation Manager, Nimo Drone Security

Organisational resilience remains a strategic imperative, growing in importance as businesses face threats from cybercrime, climate change, severe weather and political instabilities. CSOs must not only protect their employees but also position the organisation itself to remain resilient. Learn real-world advice, first-hand insights on the challenges we face and share strategies on how we can overcome them.

Discussion topics include:
• Best practices and lessons learned in developing a robust and reliable resilience plan
• New perspectives of organisational resilience and business continuity in a hybrid working environment
• The complex process of enhancing/connecting digital and physical security and safety throughout your business

Speaker: Tracy Reinhold, CSO, Everbridge

This session is going to cover the topic of augmented analytics; specifically how it is changing how security, risk and intelligence professionals navigate the geopolitical threat and risk environment. Instead of living in a world where leaders must react in real-time to the disruption around them, augmented analytics empowers more proactive, effective decision-making thanks to in-depth analysis, layered data sets, real-time information, and forecasts of future risks. By combining the expertise of world class analysts with the power of artificial intelligence and open-source intelligence, users are able to uncover insights on a scale and depth never before seen possible, revealing knowledge they might not see otherwise.

This session will bring augmented analytics to life by providing case studies of how security and intelligence professionals have used augmented analytics to make smarter, more efficient decisions that enable their organizations to get ahead of disruption.

Speaker: Tom Holwell, Customer Success Team Leader, EMEA region, Seerist

There are many articles and experts out there that help to prepare for a cyber-attack. They build a wall, a ditch, and barriers against attackers. This is important and a major part of preparation that is half the life. However, once an attacker might think one step ahead and pass all your stop signs, barriers and employer trainings.

There might be a colleague that just is busy and does it: He clicks the dangerous link and without noticing, the attackers are in your system. They will most probably not tell you right away that they are there. No; more commonly it is that they’re there for weeks before you notice that some external party is within the castle that you build and thought you secured it with high defense walls. They track your activities and take all your sensitive data. And then, what happens? What do you have to do? Conti, one of the world most known attacker firms for instance is known to blackmail you for bitcoins in exchange to not leak your data. It is a fortunate and unfortunate situation at the same time, if you have never experienced that before. Fortunate, because of course you did not have to deal with such a threat and unfortunate because you do not know how it looks like or what to prepare for. At my presentation at the ASIS, I aim to give the attendees an overview on what to expect in the situation.

From the attackers:
• How such a threat of an attacker looks like?
• How to negotiate more time?
• Would you make a contract with an attacker?

From internal (employees and management):
• How to give an overview on the situation?
• How to distribute responsibilities and tasks to overcome the situation?
• How and what to communicate?

From external (press, regulators, authorities):
• When, how and what to report?
• When, how and what to communicate to the press?

And last but not least how to evaluate such a situation and act according to regulatory requirements like NIS2 Directive that has been published by the European union. The NIS2 directive regulates companies and governments on cyber and information security. It sets requirements for management, risk control, business continuity and reporting to authorities.

Speaker: Stefanie Hach, Head of Sales & Marketing, F24

In this era of information explosion following the massive increase in social media, it's becoming clearer that covering only geopolitical security threats is not enough for the protection of business interests. Protective Intelligence is a client-centered form of online intelligence that uses robust OSINT methodologies to find physical, cyber, and reputational threats in the clear, deep and dark web, by analyzing vast amounts of data and highlighting key points that are relevant to the asset in question (person, brand or physical location).

In this presentation, we will discuss the importance of Protective Intelligence solution, from information collection, to analysis, and to the production of relevant reports. Specifically, the presentation will look at key methodologies of intelligence, passive and active intelligence, finding and analyzing highly target-specific threats, and which reports to prepare to best present the findings. We will also explain some key examples to illustrate the focus and capabilities of this cutting-edge intelligence approach.

Speaker: Ollie Wiltshire, Director of Protective Intelligence, MAX Security

An interesting and informative session, looking at modern surveillance technology, how it is applied and deployed and how it works. The session will feature a review of the most modern types of surveillance technology that utilise the Internet and cellular networks to transmit video and audio information. We will demonstrate several types of surveillance device and show them working in real world scenarios. Including Wi-Fi and Cellular store and forward systems, sophisticated burst transmission radio bugs, solid-state recording devices and sensitive microphones embedded into everyday items.

The audience will be able to view the devices, see them working and have time for questions and answers during the presentation.

Speaker: Jason Dibley, Technical Director, QCC Global Ltd

Innovative organisations are looking to achieve seamless and secure mobility for their workforce without unnecessary hindrances and delays. At the same time, we all seek to foster cultures of productivity and trust without compromising the safety and security of employees, visitors, and contractors. As a sequel to last year's presentation on the topic, let's continue the conversation with the practical solutions and possibilities now available through digital twin technology, policy automation, and connected workflows.

Speaker: Jeroen Harmsen, CPP, PSP, Team Lead of Global Business Development, Nedap

The Executive Director of Europol, Catherine De Bolle, will cover today’s hybrid threats, the new and diversified skillset required to adequately respond to them, and the opportunities of public-private partnerships.

In this session you will not only understand the challenges faced by a Corporate Security department within a recently listed automotive company, but how it successfully transforms its security portfolio, processes, and resources in order to navigate and leverage the dynamics of global change. An unprecedented shift in geopolitics poses fresh challenges for global players, requiring further integration of corporate security into managerial decision-making processes.

Additionally, the ongoing convergence of technological and security disciplines demand the adoption of a holistic approach regarding the integration of security in business processes and technology across value chains and product lifestyle.

Lastly, society’s commitment for increasing sustainability requires companies to reassess their path to providing growth opportunities within a security context.

Speaker: Florian Haacke M.sc, CSO/ Head of Corporate Security, Porsche AG

The success of response operations is dependent on effective use of tactical intelligence. With the increase in online information, AI has become a crucial player in revolutionizing the way GSOC operates by quickly tracking events and providing wider coverage, deeper insights, and faster results.

By combining human expertise with cutting-edge technology, we achieve the best of both worlds. This dynamic duo delivers reliable, precise, and timely intelligence: while AI amplifies intelligence gathering, human analysts maintain ultimate responsibility for decision-making and accountability.

The use of AI in response operations requires that it operates within established ethical and cultural standards, providing reliable results without bias, and delivering explainable results with clear sources and references.

At ASIS Europe, we will delve into these challenges and discuss the importance of overcoming them to fully realize the potential of Man and Machine collaboration in enhancing tactical intelligence in response operations.

Speakers:

Matteo Grella, Head of Research & Artificial Intelligence, EXOP, IT, Crisis24

Evacuation is a term that harbours fear and dread with the thought about what and how and even where to go. Shaun will discuss the complications of corporate evacuations from hazardous environments and will analyse some of the ideas based on real life incidents as to how to assist to make first of all the difficult decision to go and then how to go as quickly and as safely as possible.

Speaker: Shaun Boulter, Global Head Operations & Security – Corporate Mobility , AXA Partners UK

The word of the day is #polycrisis. COVID-19 has been followed by war in Ukraine that impacted supply chains, energy, agriculture and driven inflation to levels not seen in the past 20 years. It also derailed national and international initiatives at reducing climate change.

Record heatwaves and droughts in 2022 highlighted emerging risks and vulnerabilities in critical national infrastructure as well as operational resilience. Corporate Security must begin to map, quantify and mitigate risks stemming from climate change that is occurring with greater frequency and increased impact. It is incumbent on us to design, develop and deliver programmes that will protect and sustain our organisations, societies and way of life.

This is a 'Moonshot' moment for corporate security and we will discuss how:
1. Threats are interconnected
2. How intelligence powers resilience
3. How to build a resilience ecosystem for future crises
4. Why and how is ESG a way forward"

Most security experts (CISO/CSO’s) see insider threats as one of the most important threats they face today and the coming years. A 2021 survey by Egress shows that 94% of all organisations have experienced an insider act in the past 12 months. And the number of incidents is rising. Recent research suggests that insider incidents have increased by 47% over the past two years. While the threat is crystal clear, many organisations still struggle to effectively address this threat. Our workshop gives our audience just that: an effective, proven and practical way to address insider risk for their organisations.

Join this session to get an introduction to the newly developed Enterprise Security Risk Management Maturity Model and discuss how it can be applied to add value in your organisation.

It has long been a known challenge in the industry for the security manager to clearly define their role and explain and deliver the strategic value required to get “a seat at the table” and the attention of the senior leadership.

The ASIS ESRM Community engaged an international team of ESRM practitioners to develop a global model as a benchmark tool to evaluate the maturity level of organisations’ Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) practices. The model is intended to enable security leaders to build a strategic framework that will pave the way forward for security teams to become more valuable business partners across the organisation.

The ESRM Maturity Model will enable the user to establish what ESRM practice is already evident in their organisations and help identify a roadmap for continual improvement.

This session will introduce the online ESRM Maturity Model and demonstrate how to create an ESRM Maturity Model report before discussing the value it can deliver both to you as a security professional, and to the organisations you protect.

Organizations are faced with increasingly complex, complicated, and fast-moving challenges – from geopolitical shifts to technology, generational change, ESG, and the new hybrid working. Nowhere is the need for innovative problem solving more pressing than in corporate security departments, tasked with delivering resilience for their organizations in the face of this new business reality. Evidence shows that diverse teams are best equipped to solve these problems and innovate in the face of constant change. Yet progress on diversity is slow for the corporate security community.

This session will deliver the findings of an ASIS Foundation funded research project, offering concrete examples of what companies can do, both to deliver much-needed diversity, and also grow inclusive and effective teams.

Speaker: Rachel Briggs, CEO, The Clarity Factory

How many of us working in incident and crisis management look at or even consider our risk register when we are invoking or escalating our response? How many of us look at the Business Impact Analysis done during the Business Continuity Lifecyle to inform the escalation and decision-making process? Ben would argue very few if any. This presentation will look into how we can look at resilience from a different perspective. Much of the thinking around resilience that we observe is preparing for an event based on ’if’ something were to happen - will we have the plans and capability in place to respond and recover, what Ben will talk about is how we change the perception to this event ’will’ happen and therefore does that change my approach to resilience.

Furthermore, Ben will discuss how far does security go to inform resilience planning and importantly support the management of an incident.

Join Ben for this very interactive session bringing together the audience’s views and using those views to help break down silos and reimagine resilience from not if but when.

As technology progresses user expectations grow. Increased performance, new features and great experiences are minimum requirements. Physical access control systems can play a pivotal role in creating the modern, connected-and-secure work-place, combining technologies that can both restrict or enable our physical experience based on who, when, or where we are. The expectations are great, so what prevents many users from achieving what should be possible? This presentation discusses three key elements of physical access management that are the catalyst for creating a connected, data-driven platform to enhance the work-place experience for all users. Thinking of physical access control only in terms of technology misses the essential components of people and policy.

Having travel security for your C-suite executives is almost a foregone conclusion in today's world. The challenge is how your Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) structure can best support you travelling execs in a constructive manner. Executive Protection and Secure Transporation should not be a hindrance or an inconvenience, but rather facilitate easier travel, optimize productivity and support the success of your executives. ISO 31030 guidelines encourage closer attention to travel risk management but how do you optimize the benefit from EP to get buy-in from the board and c-suites, creating an environment where travel security support is welcomed and becomes a benefit center as opposed to a cost center. Let's discuss how to best accomplish this together.

Speaker: Mac Segal, Founder & CEO, AHNA Group

The digital age is a fact. Digital transformation already turns into the new stage of a digital evolution. The support of artificial intelligence, robotic automation and new ways of living and working impact the security management arena.

But how do security services add value to the businesses and the organizations they are embedded with? How do they communicate and share information to stakeholders? And what about dashboards that speak “executive language” and provide smart overviews for the top management levels?
The requirements for security will be more and more to “think in data first”. Security leaders and managers become digital leaders, and the education and development of security professionals shift into the digital landscape.

Technology is making it cheaper and quicker for banks and insurers to understand more about their client’s security risks. This is making it harder for non-resilient business’ to manage their costs and gain access to investment. In this session we will look at the technology enabling this change and how it is driving closer relationships between financial institutions, corporate security teams and the emergency services.
