Defensive Measures
Most organisations rely on Defensive Measures as the foundation of their security systems.
Defensive Approach (Reactive). This approach is characterised by responding to threats after they have already occurred, often when significant damage has been done and the costs are considerably high. Thats a 20th Century approach.
However, given the ever evolving and sophisticated nature of modern-day threats, it has become imperative to adopt a more dynamic security strategy for the 21st Century.
Such an approach should encompass both Detection and Prevention, rather than solely depending on traditional defensive measures.
By combining proactive detection techniques with preventative measures, organisations can better anticipate potential threats, mitigate risks in real-time, and significantly enhance their overall security posture.
Force Multiplier Mitigation
How does an organisation create a Force Multiplier system with minimal costs and time?
How do you deliver a security culture that can assist in Detection and Prevention of adversaries with violent intentions?
Businesses that implement force multiplier detection and prevention approaches, will be far better prepared than organisations maintaining old school defensive systems who end up on the Right side of the violent act, when the damage is done.
Detection & Prevention
The most effective and forward-looking approach to addressing modern-day violent crime is to focus on systems that mitigate the Left side of the violent act.
This entails detecting and preventing adversaries with violent intentions before they can execute their harmful actions.
Detection and prevention on the Left side of the violent act could be 10 seconds, 2 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week.
Business Employees
The most valuable asset that any business possesses is its staff.
While technical and physical security systems are crucial components of an organisation’s security infrastructure, they rely heavily on the human element for their effectiveness.
Employees can play a central role in detecting and preventing acts of violent crime within an organisation.
