Why you should participate

You will leave with a personal threat model, extended OpSec checklist, custom response protocol, new mindset and operational habits, but most importantly, a new confidence to prevent trouble or to be able to act if a situation requires it. This is a hands-on session and a chance to address your concerns and personal situation with a physical security expert.
