Course Introduction
In an era of rising physical, operational, and technological threats, commercial and industrial facilities must be secured through proactive and layered security strategies. From managing perimeter access to handling internal sabotage and emergency incidents, facility security managers need to balance risk control with operational continuity.
This 5-day bilingual (English & Arabic) course offers a comprehensive approach to planning, implementing, and maintaining effective facility security systems. Participants will learn how to assess vulnerabilities, manage access and surveillance technologies, prepare emergency response protocols, and build security programs compliant with international standards.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Identify key security threats facing commercial and industrial facilities
• Conduct security risk assessments and implement mitigation measures
• Develop integrated access control, surveillance, and intrusion detection plans
• Manage security personnel, procedures, and technologies effectively
• Respond to security incidents, breaches, and emergencies with structured protocols
• Align facility security systems with ISO, OSHA, and local regulatory frameworks
Key Benefits of Attending
• Learn the essentials of physical security and facility threat management
• Strengthen your facility’s defense through layered and proactive planning
• Gain confidence in managing guard forces, control systems, and vendor compliance
• Prepare for emergencies and build business continuity through security
• Access tools and templates to implement or upgrade your current security framework
