DEALING WITH THE INSIDER THREAT

Monday 19^th March 2012

09:30-16:00

Host: Martin Smith, Chairman & Founder, The Security Company (International) Limited and The Security Awareness Special Interest Group, UK

Overview of the workshop:

In 2009, the UK suffered £1.3 billion from internal fraud. As the trend for insider fraud continues to increase, reaching its highest in 22 years, operators face growing concerns over measures of eradicating the threat. 

This workshop will describe ways to tackle the insider threat.  For the smarter organisations this presents an opportunity in harder times to quickly and significantly reduce their exposure through straightforward and relatively inexpensive initiatives. People want to be more secure- there is an enormous willingness amongst workforces to follow good practice.

The workshop agenda features:

09:30 How to harness and channel customer support

11:00 Refreshments & Networking Break

11:30 Dealing with breaches of trust rather than breaches of security

12:45 Lunch Break

14:45 Measurement- “if you’re not measuring, you’re only practicing”
