Course Overview
Security breaches rarely begin with a dramatic break-in — they more often start with a propped-open door, an unchallenged visitor, or an employee clicking a suspicious link without a second thought. In organizations across the Middle East operating in increasingly complex physical and digital threat environments, every employee plays a role in maintaining security, whether or not it is part of their formal job description.
This training course is designed to build practical security awareness for employees across all levels and functions. The course is aligned with ISO 27001: Information Security Management Systems — Requirements and ASIS International security management guidelines, which establish the framework for structured information and physical security practice. Participants will learn to recognize common security threats, apply access control and visitor management principles, respond appropriately to suspicious activity, and understand their individual role in protecting organizational assets and information.
