Providing Cyber Security in an Insecure World
McAfee
|
|
The global information security company McAfee enlisted Good Harbor's support for their Initiative to Fight Cybercrime, a wide-ranging effort aimed at closing critical gaps in the fight against cybercrime. A multi-point plan anchors the initiative, including calls for action from law enforcement, academia, service providers, government, the security industry and society at large to deliver more effective investigations and prosecutions of cybercrime. The plan includes education and awareness building to ensure that officials around the world have the capacity to properly fight cybercrime, while helping users build "street smarts" so that they don't become easy victims; legal frameworks and law enforcement guidance to facilitate international collaboration and mutual assistance on cybercrime among governments, industry and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); and an emphasis on innovation and cooperation with the technology industry to provide technology solutions that stay one step ahead of the threats.

Developing a Comprehensive Safety and Security Master Plan
Abu Dhabi International Airport (United Arab Emirates)

Good Harbor Consulting was responsible for the preparation of a Security Master Plan (SMP) for Abu Dhabi International Airport (ADIA). The SMP was a complete description of all the requirements for security at the airport, definitively covering all aspects of security planning, roles and responsibilities, procedures, organization and manpower, systems, equipment, physical security of facilities and contingency response requirements. The plan exceeds international best practice in the AVSEC area and all stipulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization's Annex 17 Standards and Recommended Practices. It also adopts an AVSEC strategy that meets the unique and specific needs of civil aviation in Abu Dhabi.
This SMP is the definitive source of information and direction for all elements of ADIA's organization and ensures implementation of the National Civil Aviation Security Plan and the ADIA Airport Security Plan in a manner consistent with best international AVSEC practice.

Taking a 360-Degree View of Critical Infrastructure Security
Tourism Development and Investment Company (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates)
|
|
Saadiyat Island, in Arabic the "Island of Happiness," is slated to become the new cultural hub of Abu Dhabi, with branches of the Guggenheim Museum, the Louvre Museum and New York University all scheduled to open there in the near future. It will also be a residential neighborhood for approximately 150,000 people and a vacation destination featuring a world-class golf course, a marina berth for 1000 boats, up-scale hotels and pristine beaches. The Tourism Development and Investment Company of Abu Dhabi, charged with Saadiyat Island's development, engaged Good Harbor to assess the security implications of the master plans for Saadiyat Island and prepare a strategy to manage safety and security.
The aim of Good Harbor's safety and security strategy is to preserve Saadiyat Island's sustainability as a global tourist destination, to prevent or mitigate the inherent threats, and to do so without impeding residents' or visitors' enjoyment of the isle's aesthetics or ease of use. The island-wide security focus includes the response measures needed to ensure that any incident is effectively handled and its impact minimized.
