Objectives and competences

In a complex world like today's, new technologies favor great capacity for data processing and communication. This, linked to the fact that experience shows that generally crimes are increasingly planned and with a greater level of specialization, forces Public Security agencies and Private Security departments to plan their security policies in detail. The aim of the course is to raise awareness and the ability to identify vulnerabilities and anticipate threats based on existing data in open sources, to generate self-protection measures and define action policies.
