Protecting Critical Infrastructure  

 Acts of Terror/Other Crimes and Insider Threats  
Meet our team

What we deliver

 Insiders must be vigilant for social engineering, exterior terror, and other crime attacks from the outside. Internally policy and guidelines are implemented for reducing occupational fraud, corruption, workplace sabotage and workplace violence. Finding the right balance between insider cooperation and compliance is complicated and messy. Culture and environment are the most significant influencers on insider behaviour.  Our commitment is to continuing research in multiple disciplines of interconnected sciences on behalf of our clients, and introducing it to internal prevention science practitioners at critical infrastructure for the post industrial age upon us.

RISK ASSESSMENTS

Our Anti-terror and Other Crime Threat Risk Assessment Matrix (ATRiM) applies a 2nd and 3rd generation of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design to the security of critical infrastructure. 

Our companion "inside-the-systems" (insider) threat risk assessment and mitigation draws from behavioral biology to  explain why employees sometimes do bad things when tempted.

Mitigating personation and idenitty fraud threats

We offer frontline and supervisor training for improving capacity to detect a 'ruse' at the point-of-contact from bogus means of identification and other types of documents.     

Our training factors the residual threats left unattended to by Regulators from the 
security trade-offs made by identification issuing systems and the biological limitations with accurately comparing a Photo ID with the presenter.   



​Why is behavioral biology important? 

Our security models are influenced by reductionist, linearity that dates to 19th Century classical economics assuming insiders are rational actors prone to acting in their own self-interest. New science affirms insiders emotions affect their judgement and decisions and that we are, by nature, cooperative.  Culture and environment play a significant role in shaping insider behaviour. 

The ATRiM Group and like-minded confederates apply small-scale, action planning to real world public safety and security problems. We are keenly interested moving forward in how Artificial Intelligence can be applied to the complexity of detecting and reducing crime and other types of anti-social behaviour harms, while at the same time respecting its limitations.   ​

Examples: 
  • ​Improving frontline capacity to detect outlier patterns of predatory behavior indicative of deception, at the point-of-contact while presenting fraudulently obtained and counterfeit documents
  • Minimizing insider threats by getting on top of negative ('noise') workplace environmental conditions which triggers harmful behaviors
  • Promoting insider mindfulness to workplace conditions which erode attention (focus) and that improves emotional resiliency -  the ability to cope with and recover from stressful or unexpected situations, and to return to a better emotional state.  
Here's how we do it

Who we work with in your organization

 Frontline Employees

​Insiders play an irreplaceable role in security when capable of preventing and detecting "outsider" attacks with fraudulently obtained and counterfeit documents. 

​ We improve your insider competency in identifying outlier patterns of behavior that require explanation. We train in techniques for assessing the reliability of statements and declarations that people make, and in ways that are not offensive to potential and current clients. 

We improve your frontline employees personal confidence in referring concerns when  the intuit that something isn't quite right about a person, or their story.

We provide guidance on escalation protocols that mitigate poor judgment and decision making that, in the past, has resulted in civil litigation.

Frontline Management  

Insiders perceive their organization through the lens of supervisors and line managers.

Workplace environment affects whether insiders choose to contribute to, or that detract from, capacity to prevent and detect  'outside-the-system' threats. 

Secondly how employees perceive they and  colleagues are being treated affects their  emotional resiliency, which can affect attention (focus) and ability to resist temptation to do bad things. retaliate or, in the extreme to plan and execute revenge.   

For the businees of harms reduction strategies, it is important how you: 
​
  • manage insider beliefs
  • sustain emotional resiliency, and  
  • maintain attention (focus)​

The Genesis of our Services

 "Outside-the-System" Acts of Terror and Other Crime Threats

​The ATRiM Group takes a multi-disciplinary approach to preventing outsider attacks. 

W
e  apply our 2nd Generation Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) model with a  the  
ATRiM TRA Matrix.  

The Matrix is licenced  for use by urban planner/criminolgist, Gregory Saville, co-founder of the ​
International CPTED Association and the Police Society for Problem-based Learning.

​"Inside-the-System" (Insider) ​Threats


​This division is the human behavior element for protecting against cyber attacks, occupational fraud,  corruption, workplace sabotage and in the extreme workplace violence.

The common denominator is workplace environment.


  • Why and under what conditions people behave the way the do?
  • Why do people make poor choices when tempted to do bad things,  and ​
  • What are the situation-specific responses to threats? ​​​​​
False Personation & Identity Fraud

The 9/11 Task Force cited terrorists boarding aircraft  with fraudulently obtained State 'ID' Cards.  This concern continues combined with money laundering and terrorist financing reflected in new laws and regulations. 

​ATRiM  Frontline E-learning is the first step for detecting of point-of-service agents and employees that compliments training in transactional 'Red Flags'.  

Our goal is for you to become self-sustaining with frontline information gathering skills combined with prevention science  acumen to counter these threats.    ​
