		<description><![CDATA[Counter Terror Expo 2012 delegates are set to discover how the momentous events that have occurred during the past year, will force us to reassess and realign counter terrorism strategies to meet potential new threats emerging from the turmoil we have witnessed. Previously hard-line autocracies across a swathe of North Africa have been toppled in popular uprisings; significant civil unrest has occurred in Middle East countries where demand for change continues to be heard loudly, political turmoil in some South Asian nations has given rise to fears a period of dangerous instability may be looming, whilst insurgency in some Sub Saharan countries has led to jihadist inspired terrorist atrocities. Escalating belligerence from Iran, a rapidly deepening political crisis in Pakistan, continuing instability in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, widespread civil unrest in Syria and Yemen and extremist sponsored violence in Nigeria, all combine to set the stage for an uncertain year ahead and have the potential to directly threaten stability elsewhere in the world. These issues have emerged at a time of significant fiscal crisis amongst leading world economies; thus presenting a substantial challenge to industry professionals tasked with delivering effective countermeasures in constrained circumstance. This is the fractious backdrop against [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[McAfee and the Security and Defence Agenda (SDA) today revealed the findings from a report; Cyber-security: The Vexed Question of Global Rules that paints, for the first time, a global snapshot of current thinking about the cyber-threat and the measures that should be taken to defend against them, and assesses the way ahead. The SDA, the leading defense and security think-tank in Brussels, interviewed leading global security experts to ensure findings would offer usable recommendations and actions. The report was created to identify key debate areas and trends and to help to governments and organisations understand how their cyber defense posture compares to those of other countries and organisations. Here are some noted findings: · 57% of global experts believe that an arms race is taking place in cyber space. · 36% believe cybersecurity is more important than missile defense. · 43% identified damage or disruption to critical infrastructure as the greatest single threat posed by cyber-attacks with wide economic consequences (up from 37% in McAfee’s 2010 Critical Infrastructure Report). · 45% of respondents believe that cybersecurity is as important as border security. · The state of cyber-readiness of the United States, Australia, UK, China and Germany all ranked behind [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Companies need to be proactive to avoid disruption during the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, advises ControlCircle, a leading UK managed service provider. Organisations need to be implementing plans now if they are to ensure business continuity across the wide spectrum of risk areas, ranging from ensuring staff productivity to maintaining optimal performance of their IT infrastructure. While a number of options are available to businesses, implementing them will become increasingly more challenging in the run up to the Games. For example, aggressive working from home policies during the Games may require greater connectivity and security measures while lead times for these types of services will be impacted by increased demand, coupled with imposed freezes on digs and underground works. “We recommend businesses complete a full review of logistical and logical pressure points, from accessing the data centre to assessing their web traffic profile and security risks,” said Carmen Carey, CEO of ControlCircle. “Access to, and mobility around Greater London will be severely disrupted during the extended Olympic period. This, coupled with bandwidth demand and security risks at an all time high, means it will not be viable to adhere to a business as usual approach.” In anticipation of these events, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With more and more governments recognising the need for cyber security strategies, (ISC)² (“ISC-squared”), the world’s largest not-for-profit information security professional body and administrators of the CISSP®, urges national governments to recognise the requirement for internationally recognised skills, principals and practices to tackle what is a very sophisticated global threat landscape. With its own research anticipating a doubling of the workforce by 2015, (ISC)² is encouraging policy makers to leverage the collective expertise of the professional community to address skills requirements, as well as their defences. Cyber security is rising up as a priority in political arenas, as evidenced by the recent London cyber security conference attended by world leaders from 60 countries; however, the skills and competency requirements do not appear to be high on the international discussion agenda, points out John Colley, CISSP, managing director for EMEA, (ISC)². “I believe many countries are examining the capacity and competencies required for national security, but there is a risk of too much focus on national politics rather than a real understanding of what is required. They should be careful not to work in isolation,” he warns, adding that “nationally focused schemes risk confusion in a landscape that requires an ability [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Britain’s border security has been called into question less than a year before the country plays host to the 2012 Olympic Games. At issue is a government minister authorised pilot scheme to relax controls for certain passport holders. This authorised scheme envisioned perceived low risk individuals being allowed unfettered entry to the country. All others would be subjected to the full gamut of checks. The scheme has allegedly been applied to all passport holders, irrespective of their origin. Officials therefore have no idea how many undesirable entrants may have penetrated the country’s borders, during a four month period over the summer of 2011. Immigration controls represent the last line of defence in preventing known criminals, suspected terrorists and others flagged by watch listing, from entering a country. When these immigration controls fail to deliver, the ultimate consequence can be profound. Counter Terror Expo, the world-leading gathering of professionals within this arena, has consistently warned that effective immigration controls constitute a fundamental prerequisite to national security. British Home Secretary Theresa May MP has admitted to Parliament that the failure to appropriately monitor and control individuals entering the country has led directly to a knowledge deficit. UKBA boss Brodie Clarke has resigned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prime Minister David Cameron has announced that merchant vessels flying the red ensign will be allowed to carry armed guards for protection against acts of piracy. Previous governments have been opposed to arming the merchant marine, but with no sign of a respite in acts of piracy on the high seas and naval assets spread thin, the decision has been welcomed as a common sense measure that could save ship owners and the insurance market many millions of pounds. The announcement comes following talks at the recently concluded Commonwealth Heads of State meeting in Australia. Many member states face the same escalating piracy issue in the waters of their shores. The home secretary will be given the power to license maritime armed guards under the new plan, but they can only be deployed while passing through dangerous waters, such as the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and the Somali Basin. The piracy issue has been the subject of continued debate at Transport Security Expo in recent years. This event brings experts in fields of maritime, aviation and supply chain security together annually to debate the most pressing issues and help to identify solutions to them. When last held in September, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The capture and death of Osama Bin Laden has prompted a global step up in security in case of retaliatory action by those loyal or affiliated to the Al Qaeda terrorist organization. Bin Laden&#8217;s demise was announced in the early hours of the morning (UK time) by the White House and followed an American led operation on his heavily fortified hideout in Pakistan. The announcement brings closure to the American public on an event that has defined an era, but conversely places the United States and it&#8217;s Allies in the so called War on Terror at greater risk of retaliatory attack. Advise issued today by the US, UK and other governments is for travelers to be vigilant, avoid crowded spaces and maintain a low profile. Moreover, authorities are beginning to take additional measures to protect those traveling by air. A resurgence in attacks (most notably at the instigation of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula) against civil aviation has emerged within the past two years. These attacks include the Christmas 2009 attempt by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to blow up Northwest Airlines flight 253 and the recent attempt to blow up two cargo planes whilst in flight over North America.

		<description><![CDATA[The UK’s newest hi-tech security hub, designed to protect some of the world’s largest companies, has opened in Craigavon, Northern Ireland. MiTec is one of the most advanced security hubs in the UK and will help businesses protect their personnel and premises through a suite of services. These include 24 hour remote monitoring of sites and buildings, lone worker protection and real time vehicle tracking, all with close co-operation with the police and other emergency services. The centre, which has created 38 new jobs in Northern Ireland, has been built by MITIE, a FTSE 250 strategic outsourcing and energy services company, which has itself invested more than £2m in its development. It was officially opened today by Ruby McGregor-Smith, chief executive officer of MITIE, and Alastair Hamilton, chief executive of InvestNI, Northern Ireland’s economic development agency. Over 60 people from the security industry and MITIE’s clients attended the official unveiling including representatives of Capgemini, Capita and Eurostar. As well as monitoring facilities, MiTec provides real time response to incidents via “call outs” to local police forces and MITIE’s mobile security personnel. The seamless integration of these services makes it unique amongst security providers in the UK. It is also the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Counter Terror Expo being held in Olympia in April 2011 comes at a time of dramatic changes in the political landscape in the Middle East. In this piece Dr Dave Sloggett debates the implications of these political changes for Al Qaeda and how that may change the nature of the threat from transnational terrorism in the west. The horrific scenes of September 11th 2001 will not readily dim for many of those that witnessed those events. It was a Berlin Wall moment, something that we can all vividly recall. The Counter Terror 2011 Conference in London in April provides a moment for many with hugely busy agendas to take stock of the current situation with respect to terrorism ten years on. That the form of trans-national terrorism witnessed in New York and Washington and subsequently in Bali, Madrid, London and Mumbai has not been defeated cannot be in doubt. Globally over the last year nearly 1000 terrorist related incidents a month have occurred with over 11,000 events recorded in 2010, up slightly on the previous year. International terrorism is an enduring problem. For all of the undoubted pressure applied to Al Qaeda and its franchises over the past ten [...]]]></description>
