Target Hardening: How to Improve Your Security Posture Against Bad Actors

Securing a public facility or event can seem overwhelming in the current threat environment. Detecting and deterring an active shooter, a malicious insider or a cyberattack is a daunting, but achievable goal.

So, where should you start when it comes to Target Hardening, also known as strengthening building, worksite or event security from terrorist or criminal attack? While your first instinct may be to address tactical level issues, such as cameras, locks and badges, the answer is to ask a more strategic question: "When did you last complete a threat, vulnerability and risk assessment?"

In this webinar, we'll discuss the basics of completing security assessments, including how to address threat, vulnerability and risk and how you can use a layered defense to address what essential resources your operation should be protecting.

What We Cover:

The basics of evaluating soft target locations:

  • Understanding the threat
  • Assessing vulnerability
  • Calculating risk

The use of layered defense, including:

  • How to identify your critical assets
  • How to identify the primary target
