Managing Corporate Security in Turbulent Times

Mar 7, 2010 - Mar 8, 2010,
Metropolitan Palace, P.O. Box 56262 56262

As the company's spending continues to be tightened during the economic downturn, the security manager needs to know how to adapt to the ever changing and dynamic technologies, wireless devices and other innovations in order to stay competitive and abreast. In recent years, the role of the corporate security officer has undergone a dramatic evolution from a reactive, behind the scene function, to an integral part of the CSuite. Corporations around the world realize that for every business decision they make, a vital security decision is also involved. As a result, a well structured security policy is no longer a mere inconvenience; it's become a highly destructive phenomenon that can have disastrous results for any organization, if not properly planned.

Research on the major catastrophic disasters that have occurred in the last decade has proven that most of the affected corporate companies had not properly invested in security. Developing a robust protection and resilience strategies are now in the forefront of a company's investment. Corporate security officers need to have technical abilities in addition to a strong knowledge of the internal and external risks to their personnel, facilities and the reputations of their firms.

With the above concerns in mind, Kavaq has specially designed this two day forum that focuses on emerging trends in Security in turbulent times. In times like these, 'more of the same' no longer seems good enough. The conference will be focusing on managing security in turbulent times and exploring emerging challenges.

Delegates would include the following positions from various industries:

· Chief Security Officers
· Chief Disaster Management & Business Continuity
· HSE Directors/Managers
· Chief Technology Officers
· Chief Information & Data Processing Officers
· Chief Risk Officers
· Chief Operations & Compliance Officer
· Head of Contingency Planning/Business Recovery

Key Risk Indicators

Mar 7, 2010 - Mar 10, 2010,
Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates

The objective of this program is to present, illustrate, and implement a systematic risk measurement framework employing various qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methods in order to generate risk exposures and potential loss estimates and at the business unit and enterprise-wide levels. The issues inherent to meeting such risk measurement objective is evidenced by the following quotes from financial managers, risk managers, and financial econometrics, which also place the objective into an appropriate perspective given that the global markets of late 2009 are in the process of recovering for the US sub prime lending excesses of the early 2000s, the leveraged shadow banking securitization crisis of the mid-2000s, and the subsequent credit crunch of late 2008.

“Models are to be used, but not to be believed.”

“All models are wrong, but some are useful.”

“It takes maturity to know what [risk] models are to be used, but never believed,”

“… all the dangers of accepting [risk] models without carefully questioning them.”

And finally a quote that summarizes the perspectives in the first four quotes:

“ … a man drowned crossing a stream with an average depth of six inches.”

If the implications of these comments do not seem straight forward, and especially if the logic of last comment seems unclear; this program is designed to address and facilitate applying the implications of these comments in a risk measurement and modeling context. (For the last comment, think of areas where there are flash floods or regions where there are monsoons and dry seasons)
