Hostile Reconnaissance

About this session

Hostile reconnaissance is the information gathering phase of attack planning and is vital to the process. It is carried out prior to almost every terror attack. Being able to identify behaviour which is unusual or out of the ordinary (suspicious) may save lives.

Everything in life takes planning – recent terrible events only go to prove that this is true. Our webinar on hostile reconnaissance discusses how to recognise hostile reconnaissance in an increasingly difficult security environment. We help you to spot and deal with reconnaissance – to ensure that threats are neutralised before they become deadly.
