Workplace
Violence Incidents On The Rise
Unfortunately very disgruntled employees "Insiders" and others have
resorted to workplace violence, in some cases resulting in the deaths of
innocent coworkers.
According to the
FBI, over the last few years there has been an increased frequency
of
workplace violence incidents.
The Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
has
reported that approximately 2 million employees are victims of
workplace violence each year. 18% of violent crimes are committed at the
workplace, and roughly 800 workplace homicides occur each year. Between
January 2009 and July 2015, there were 133 mass shootings in the
workplace and shootings account for 78 % of all workplace homicides.
The NITSIG has
complied information from various incidents and sources pertaining to
the seriousness of workplace violence, in the
Workplace Violence E-Magazine.
An organization that
ignores the warnings signs could face legal action, a large settlement
and possible fines.

International’s publication “Active Shooter – A Handbook on Prevention”
(2nd Edition, May 2016).
-
A fourth Team member

methodologies and software tools, who had supported the Joint Staff’s
JSIVA and the U.S. Coast Guard’s Maritime Security Risk Analysis Models.

threat and risk analysis followed by risk mitigation steps. The
presentation will also discuss a number of processes and tools,
including online collaborative tools, to support risk analysis and risk
management efforts. Also discussed will be how risk mitigation

Topic:
Active Shooter Response System
Presented By: NEP3
Presentation Overview:
-
NEP3 will
discuss the Virtual Command technology solution for "Live"
Active Shooter situations. The system connects the protected
site to a E911 center via a Virtual Private Network. At the E
911 Center, there will be two or more tactical work stations
that feature a Graphic User Interface (GUI) that provides
attacker alarm notifications, and real-time actionable
intelligence (Electronic Sensor Data & Video), to locate the
attacker (s), acquire subject description and then to track the
subjects.
-
A unique
feature of Virtual Command is the ability to enable to
"Countermeasures" at the GUI to slow down or cause the Intruder
abort his attack. Live demonstrations have shown an attacker can
be located, tracked and “Virtually Engaged” within 90
seconds. This corrects the major advantage a Shooter has today.
This is the 3-6 minutes of unimpeded shooting prior to the
arrival of Law Enforcement.
Note:
The State of Indiana has just approved a law to set standards by
which all public schools will be protected. The Indiana Sheriffs
spearheaded the effort to pass legislation that would recommend all
schools be protected by an Emergency Response System that would connect
schools to a E911 Center for alert, actionable intelligence, and the
capability to remotely fire countermeasures. These capabilities are
synonymous to those in Virtual Command.
Topic:
Employee Continuous Risk Monitoring
Presented By: Endera
Presentation Overview:
-
Endera
provides an affordable employee continuous evaluation and risk
alert security platform. Endera addresses the Post-Hire security
gap by providing government and private sector businesses with
automated risk alerts paired with a security analytics platform.
-
Endera scans

leverages external behavior data to expose Insider Threats and
applies risk scoring and predictive analytics to help
proactively identify and prevent potential workplace fraud,
theft and workplace violence.

that called for further investigations.
