Training Prevents Mistakes And Attacks Threats

Operations, processes and communications is continuing to be a problem in security especially when there are security threats and vulnerabilities that have successfully interrupted business operations such as terrorist threats in airline traffic.  What is most prominent in the problems identifying security threats is back to basics; training.  Technological advancements, innovative infiltration of assets and more has provoked more and more emphasis on basic security training in various areas.


Keep security officers aware of technology advancements can assist in situational awareness in business communities, event coverage, public and private facilities, and more.  Cell phones with new mobile applications that can be developed to act as a remote trigger for many home made bombs is a serious and true threat by terrorist groups that want to disrupt events or public areas.  Impostors that want to gain access to secure facilities to cause major intrusions in computer systems must be identified through thorough security checks to prevent these types of security interruptions. Even the lack of communication on small problems that may not be considered high level threats could lead to possible bigger security threats because it is a planned diversion.


All these scenarios can surely be prevented through diligent training in basic security education. Being aware of your surrounding, your client's company policies in access and security procedures as well as reaction training can help facilitate security officers procedures into effective responses.  No matter how minute a problem may appear, if security officers are following standard operating procedures, a problem can be identified immediately because it is out of the ordinary of the daily routine. These types of training is not and should never be a one time training course. Because of the aggressive nature of security threats to not only government organizations and facilities, the private sector is just as vulnerable and can pose more destructive to those criminal elements to government entities. Continuous training that adapts to the changes in technological advancement, communication with key personnel of your client staff and following client guidelines and policies can ensure preventive attacks are in place so that the response is legally direct and cautiously swift.  Protecting your assets requires a strong defense and progressive training.
