Critical Infrastructure Protection
Risk and Vulnerability Workshop

March 31, April 1 & 2, 2008
Hilton Vancouver Airport Hotel
5911 Minoru Blvd.
Richmond, B.C.  Canada

This workshop runs for three days and is intended for security managers and practitioners who are involved in the identification, planning and implementation of risk based physical and procedural security protections for critical infrastructure sites. Critical infrastructure includes public utilities, sports venues, hospitals, airports, marine terminals and other facilities which provide crucial support to larger operations or areas of responsibility.

The material to be presented will have an emphasis on the application, integration and ongoing effectiveness of physical security protections based on a formalized risk and vulnerability process. Candidates will participate in a dynamic group exercise focusing on a critical infrastructure facility. The exercise will provide attendees with templates they can use on a go-forward basis in their own environment.
