A video and summary of this session is available here.

Despite its numerical advantage and its role in protecting the national infrastructure very little has been heard from Governments (local and national) around the world about the important role security personnel are playing in this crisis, this area has been silent, or has it? This webinar will exam the perceived lack of interest by local and national Governments. Does this highlight the lack of standards and credentials within the security sector nationally and globally? In a different way does it signify the lower status of security professionals compared to other corporate roles within organisations, and the lower value based on security suppliers compared to other services companies buy? Or is there plenty of evidence that Governments are engaging security when you look for it?  This webinar will focus on:

The attitude of Governments towards the security sector in this time of crisis
The extent to which the security sector is an important partner for Governments
The potential for security to play a bigger role, and the means of doing so

Neill Catton – Managing Director at CIS Security (UK)
