Counter Terror Business 1

Welcome to Counter Terror Business

The threat of terrorist attacks remains a major concern for governments and private sector organisations worldwide. Counter Terror Business magazine is a specialist publication distributed to heads of security, intelligence officers, procurement officials and department heads in local and central government, to inform about the latest in counter terror intelligence, technology and human resources.

On page 7 we take a look at how public sector organisations can make sure they have the right security systems in place to protect them from a terrorist attack in these financially constrained times. Aviation expert Chris Yates discusses how a resurgence in Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks has promted governments on boths sides of the Atlantic to question their counter-terrorism strategies (p. 62). We also preview the most important security events this spring – Counter Terror Expo, BAPCO, Search & Rescue, and IFSEC.

Enjoy the issue.
