Risk Management and Counter Terrorism Resilience for Australian Businesses

Some industries simply have higher security risk profiles due to the nature of their work

The internet has had enormous impact on how people think about terrorism and people are now turning away from traditional media and go to the internet as their primary source of information. Dr Anne Aly is one of the most respected counter terrorism and counter radicalisation experts in Australasia, with her advice being sought on terrorism, Muslim women in society, media construction on terrorism by worldwide bodies.

Dr Aly says, “Unfortunately terrorism is not new and it is not likely to end any time soon. It’s important to view the terrorist threat not just in terms of a terrorist attack on persons or property but also in terms of the ways in which terrorism (and its response, counterterrorism) affect our society and our lives. I believe that we can stop terrorism through a diverse approach that builds resilience to terrorist ideologies as well as security and defence.”

Industries of Higher Risk
Some industries simply have higher security risk profiles due to the nature of their work. Examples include construction businesses, entertainment venues, industries that deal with vulnerable persons (such as aged care), and any other business that may attract adverse behaviour from those with opposing ideologies - such as RSL clubs, places of worship and sporting organisations.
