Professional Development Course - Homeland Security Executive Certificate Studies Program
August 16 - 22, 2009
Security and law enforcement professionals with homeland security and anti-terrorism responsibilities for the protection of people and property at critical infrastructures; commercial centers; public events; mass transportation systems; and other soft targets are invited to participate in this innovative Homeland Security Executive Certificate Studies Program (HSECS) in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Presented jointly by ASIS International, ASERO Worldwide, and Tel Aviv University, this program offers security practitioners an opportunity to enhance their understanding of the changing world of terrorist threats and the leading methods to mitigate them. An intensive seven-day course, the HSCES provides a thorough examination of homeland security challenges and best practices in critical infrastructure protection through situational awareness and analysis, planning and partnerships, and the development and implementation of effective countermeasures. Registration is limited to 25 security professionals.
The program combines Tel Aviv University's outstanding academic credentials in the study of terrorism with "best practices" of Israeli professionals. These are field-proven techniques developed over decades of experience in anti-terrorism and protective security.
Led by distinguished academics and experienced security professionals—including Doron Bergerbest-Eilon, former director for Protection and Security, Israeli Security Agency, and founder and CEO, ASERO Worldwide—the program combines case study analysis, academic lectures and discussions, and high-caliber counterterrorism training that includes site visits in which successes and failures are examined and lessons shared. Each day, participants gather at the Tel Aviv University for morning classroom presentations and discussions on terrorism and specific security issues. These classes are followed by afternoon site visits to iconic installations and critical infrastructure facilities. In the evening, ASERO security professionals and guest speakers will tie together the day's activities and summarize best practices and lessons learned.
