In 2019 I published a Geostrategic SWOT Analysis for Australia examining the nation’s internal strengths and weakness and external opportunities and threats. No one was to know how much of that would come to pass so quickly in 2020. Yet more could be on the horizon, including not just consecutive but concurrent crises at the intersection of the three key challenges, the likes of which we have not seen in generations...read more.

Covid-19 has undoubtedly been a wake-up call in terms of crisis management and the ability – or lack of ability – to develop appropriate frameworks at the global, national and local level that can support decision-making, service delivery and the range of response and support services that are critical to any crisis management response...read more.

Cybersecurity is a team sport! Especially when critical infrastructure is distributed across a vast geography, owned and managed by non-governmental entities, and nefarious actors are trying to steal valuable information from your citizens.
This talk will discuss areas where industry, government, and academia have teamed up to raise awareness of cyber threats and potential solutions to better protect and sustain critical infrastructure.

The pervasiveness of technology in every-day life has had positive but also some perverse effects. One of these is the ability for people to encourage, incite and motivate others to engage in violence. The face of terrorism, over the past two decades, has predominantly featured Islamist extremists. The online presence and “marketing” of an Islamic State saw thousands of people travel to Syria and Iraq to fight for this cause, as well as the encouragement of violent actions in their own countries. Australia experienced several terrorist attacks, and thwarted many others over this time, by people radicalised online. Now we are seeing the rhetoric alter, with increasingly radical and violent actions being encouraged by extreme right-wing nationalists and some other fringe groups. Leanne Close will explore this phenomenon and discuss the implications for law enforcement and national security in Australia.

The presentation sets out the security challenges for modern railway operators in Australia, with a particular focus on counter terrorism strategy. Input outlines the position taken by V/Line Corporation in developing plans, processes and procedures that align to national priorities, including the Australian Strategy for the Protection of Crowded Places from Terrorism. Innovative approaches to staff training, in validating and actualising developed measures, are also included, together with observations on the Federal Government’s Critical Infrastructure Consultation Paper and the potential opportunities within it. The presentation’s conclusion provides an insight into some of the security challenges presented in a Stage 4 Covid-19 environment.

People are both an asset and liability in security. Our security culture often views people with deep suspicion. People are seen as malicious, complacent, and/or ignorant. This shapes our organisational actions and creates a culture and behaviours that are often counter-productive. How we position position people in ensuring security is important and often overlooked. Is it possible to have a positive security culture?

Summary of key findings from the Australian Security Research Centre (ASRC)’s recent research into Occupational Violence and Aggression (OVA). This project was the largest ever multi-sector study into occupational violence conducted in Australia. The findings were revealing on multiple topics including perceptions of violence and aggression, the true impact of OVA, and best practise for managing and mitigating the risk.

The presentation will cover recent studies and findings related to the prevention of attacks of public figures, symbolic locations, and active assailant prevention. How the prevention has changed from profiling to looking at indicators of warning behavior. Warning behaviors are acute and dynamic correlates of risk. The presentation will look at the latest findings regarding pathway, fixation, identification, novel aggression, energy burst, leakage, directly communicated threat, and last resort behavior. We will also look if mental illness is a predictor for possible approach behavior or actual attack. The presentation will also emphasize the advantages of multi-disciplinary case management. The presentation will compare the findings of many recent, well-known cases and what could be learned from the incidents. The main focus is on law enforcement and security professional’s role in the prevention and management of such incidents.

In todays world of ‘do more with less’ many of us find ourselves juggling multiple roles across different disciplines. Many people struggle with this concept finding themselves effectively a ‘jack of all trades, master of none’.
This presentation will explore the benefits and shortcomings of performing multiple roles and offer ways to minimise the shortcomings and exploit the benefits to maximise efficiencies.
I will also look at the specific relationships between HSE and Security and how we can benefit from integrating elements of HSE for effective outputs in Security at an operational level.

What is enterprise security risk assessment? You wouldn’t be alone in asking that. If you’ve been dealing with them for years, it probably feels self-evident and natural, a bit like riding a bike or following a bouncing ball.
