About this event...
Come and
join us for another online CPD webinar, available to Security Institute members
and guests.
We are delighted to be joined by Paul Martin CBE who has thirty years’ practitioner experience in the national security arena. During a career in UK government service from 1986 to 2013 he held a variety of senior positions, including heading the precursor to the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) and leading national security preparations for the London 2012 Olympics. From 2013 to 2016 he was the Director of Security for the UK Parliament, with responsibility for its physical, personnel and cyber security. He is a Distinguished Fellow of RUSI, an Honorary Principal Research Fellow at Imperial College London, a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology and a member of the Board of the Charity Commission. Paul was educated at the University of Cambridge and Stanford University. He lectured and researched in behavioural science at the University of Cambridge before leaving academia to join government service. He is the author or co-author of several books. His most recent book, The Rules of Security (OUP, 2019) is about risk, resilience and protective security.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a harsh light on the
resilience – or lack of it – in many businesses, organisations, governments and
societies around the world. Many found they were not as resilient as they
should have been, or thought they were. Some are thinking about how they might
do it better before the next crisis hits – whether that is another pandemic or
a major security event. But history shows that memories are short and attention
soon turns to other matters, so the time for action is now. In this
presentation, Paul Martin sets out a series of principles to assist thinking on
how to build true organisational resilience against the full range of malicious
threats and natural hazards. He contrasts these principles with conventional
practice and highlights reasons why resilience has often been done badly. The
topics covered include the dangers of fossilised risk registers and spurious
risk models, good governance, misconceptions about the nature of resilience,
and the crucial influence of human psychology on judgments and decision making.
