IMA Webinar Broadcast: Recognizing Hostile Surveillance by Terrorist Groups and Organized Criminals
2023-06-29 08:30 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
Step into the world of crime prevention with our immersive course on “Recognizing Hostile Surveillance”. This three-hour training is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills to detect and report effectively on hostile surveillance activities.
Hostile surveillance is a process by which individuals or groups systematically observe and gather information about a person, group, or location with malicious intent. This may be carried out by criminal groups, terrorists, stalkers, or any other entities with intent to harm or exploit. The purpose of hostile surveillance can vary, but it is often conducted as a precursor to serious crimes like kidnappings, bombings, thefts, or acts of terrorism. The surveillance provides valuable information to these individuals or groups, allowing them to plan and execute their harmful actions more effectively. They may be looking for patterns, routines, vulnerabilities, or any other useful information that would facilitate their intended crime.
This course will help you to:
· Understand the nature of surveillance tactics used by criminal groups and organized crime syndicates.
· Identify signs of physical and digital surveillance.
· Grasp the motivations behind criminal surveillance activities.
· Learn from real-world case studies to see how surveillance has been successfully detected and addressed.
· Develop effective strategies for countering surveillance and improving personal and professional security.

IMA Webinar Broadcast: Post Breach-Post Traumatic Stress: It’s real.
2023-09-28 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York)
Often, after a breach, many individuals at an organization experience post-traumatic stress in different forms. I have found that many of these stories and situations go unnoticed and must be addressed. I’m not a clinical psychologist, but I’d like to dive into my personal experience of dealing with breaches at many companies and my conversations with victims. I aim to bring awareness and stimulate discussion about how companies can be more prepared to deal with this mind-numbing effect.

IMA Webinar Broadcast: Online Threat Detection 101 (And a L.A. Case Study)
2023-10-17 08:30 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
The updated and revised Infrastructure Liaison Officer (ILO) course is a fast-paced four-hour learning experience that results in a certification. It examines violent extremism and terrorism, critical infrastructure protection (such as the National Infrastructure Protection Program), other man-made and natural hazards, and the threats posed by nefarious nation-states (e.g., espionage, war, etc.).
The world has become a very dangerous place, in every region of our planet major threats and hazards abound. The ability of the private sector to effectively interface with public agencies at all levels in mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery (all based on a solid assessment and “intelligence-led decision-making”) has never been more important.
In the immediate years after 9-11, the national focus was on terrorism, then Hurricane Katrina and the Indian Ocean Tsunami reminded us that other threats and hazards can also disrupt our continuity of operations and supply chains. More recently, the pandemic and War in Ukraine have reinforced the challenges we face, and the critical importance to be informed and prepared, and to become resilient and ready for whatever may strike us next.
You will be required to take and pass a short test during the class in order to achieve your ILO certification.
Hal Kempfer is by all accounts the most prolific and accomplished instructor nationwide in ILO and TLO course training (who also provides this kind of training on behalf of the US government to our allies overseas), and will guide us through this half-day quest to become certified as the right person at the right time with the right information.
