Description

Summary

Security Plan and Security Risk Management (SRM) Processes are the primary tool for security decision makers to identify threats and enable SRM measures to reduce the level of assessed risk. The everchanging global security landscape requires a dynamic, responsive, and flexible application of the SRM process. 

This session will delve into the critical aspects of security planning and SRM, map out the current challenges, and explore strategies that enable organisations to cope with the changing situations. Participants will learn from real-world examples, case studies, and best practices that showcase the successful integration of agility into SRM frameworks, ensuring the continuous security of humanitarian workers.
