Global Security & Resilience Summit 2008
15th - 17th September 2008
Maritim Pro Arte, Berlin, Germany
Why Attend?
The risks our modern society faces are greatly increased by interrelation, or multiple threat actions. The occurrence of one disaster scenario can cause a domino effect, causing the emergence of multiple risks in new areas. Therefore we need new multi-agency responses to ensure we have responded to the threats as comprehensively as possible.
Threats facing both the public and private sector today include a lack of:
- Robust security measures and protocol to deal with the threat of traditional and non-traditional terrorism
- Identifying the real threats accurately and effectively in order to implement the most relevant crisis management plan
- Understanding of the scale of cyber terrorism and the potential impact of a threat on day-to-day operations
- Contingency planning for multiple disaster and emergency scenarios
- Developed knowledge base of the possible Vulnerabilities to an ever adapting disaster situation
- Understanding not only disaster prevention but what needs to be implemented when the worst happens.
If any of the above is relevant to your role, attending GS&R will help you and your organisation:
- Protect your organisation or nation against major threats by understanding the potential risks
- Integrate resilience within your organisation – how robust are your security and resilience strategies?
- Respond effectively to current hazards
- Retain balance and order during crisis periods
- Adapt to physical, cyber and operational emergencies and threats
- Understand the importance of preparedness for multiple disruptions
- Establish procedures for response and recovery against larger disasters
- Protect the staff and communities relying on you.
