Train & Protect

The development of greater security-mindedness and vigilance across a workforce can act as a security and business resilience force multiplier, mitigating against a range of threats that could cause physical, reputational or financial damage to your organisation.

Revisiting traditional security and risk management frameworks, while introducing new innovative approaches to building and protecting competitive advantage, the ERG approach to developing a positive and proactive security culture considers the set of values, shared by everyone in your organisation, which collectively determine how your workforce is expected to think about and approach security. Getting your security culture right can help to develop a security-conscious workforce and promote the desired behaviours that you want from your staff.

Ever-changing geopolitical and commercial climates, pose significant challenges to leaders. ERG can draw on our experience of leading organisations through crises, to help you to develop resilient employees, teams and an organisation that is prepared to respond to change.

Cyber Security Hygiene Factors

Cyber security is now part of our daily lives and much like learning how to be street-smart, people of all ages rapidly need to learn how to be cyber-smart to stay safe. Much like the security awareness and culture programmes we deliver to the enterprise, we work with groups and individuals to integrate cyber security awareness programmes for their staff along with their own initiatives on teaching other employees how to stay safe online.

Security by Effect ©

Security is an enterprise risk that encompasses an array of threat vectors. The Security by Effect © model enables organisations to remain aware of the ever changing threat landscape and to ensure that the security and recovery systems in place are effective and appropriate.

Hostile Profile Detection

Attendees will develop an understanding of the threat posed by malign/hostile actors, the activity and behaviours that they must exhibit to plan and conduct their actions, and the effects-based mechanisms available to disrupt them; to deny them useful information and easy access, to detect them, and, through advertising these two capabilities, deter them from conducting their actions.
Attendees will develop an ability to demonstrate an understanding of holistic protective security and how vulnerabilities can be reduced by integrated personnel, physical and cyber security measures and their effective communication.

Business Intelligence
