To find out more from the police about Martyn's Law - go to:  https://www.protectuk.police.uk The Global Terrorism Index reports that there are some 5,000 terror attacks each year spread across some 120 countries. In the West, politically-motivated attacks have overtaken religious attacks as a key motivator. Whilst conflict in Russia/Ukraine and a hardening of nation-state cyber security postures, is pushing the cybercrime domain toward a more advanced realm of cyber terrorism.   This crucial course leads with five sections covering:

• Contemporary nature of terrorism – roots of terrorism; international terrorism and its evolution; case studies and typologies of method and motivation; People, Targets and Magnets; Laws, definitions and categorisation. Protect UK, Duty of Care legislation and ‘Martyn’s Law’.
• Profiling, decision-making and motivations – complex challenges and findings around profile and demographics; profile and motivations prior to 9/11; contemporary profiling of psychosocial characteristics of perpetrators; Lone Actors, Group Settings and in-betweeners
•  Securing the Attack Surface – securing buildings with case study; securing personnel with case study; cyber security and case studies; Convergence and integrating physical, information systems and personnel security and working through the ISO 27001 Annex of physical security environment security controls
• Business Continuity Planning and Impacts – BCP guidance and planning; policies, processes and implementation; adding ‘people’ into the plan; aligning BCP to holistic organisational resilience.
• Responding and Recovery – Crisis Management; Crisis Communications; Incident Response including Information Systems; Risk Frameworks and framing ‘risk’ appetite; Threat Intelligence and the ‘Intelligence Cycle’.
