To minimize the occurrence of physical and digital harm in the workplace, 90 percent of organizations are training employees on safety procedures, including compliance training and programs on other topics.

In a recent Security webinar, How You Can Turn Security Training and Awareness into Action, Pieter Danhieux, Co-Founder and CEO of Secure Code Warrior, says there are 111 billion lines of code written by an estimated 22 million developers every year. “Building code is like building a house. If you do everything well, you end up with a beautiful, modern and secure house,” says Danhieux.

The Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released its new Security of Soft Targets and Crowded Places–Resource Guide. It provides information on a wide range of free capabilities available via CISA that can be incorporated into the security practices of organizations of all sizes, not just soft targets and crowded places. 

Large venues pose unique challenges to security and emergency preparedness. The combination of dense crowds, media visibility and high economic value at such events creates great risk to people, property and reputation. But how do you ensure strong security while also ensuring your patrons and fans still have fun?

Although not all events can be stopped, there are strategies to mitigate occurrences by identifying threats at organizations. Threat assessment should be used at the organizational level to identity behavior that could lead to violence.
