Sydney, NSW, Australia
Waypoint Counter Surveillance and in association with the World Institute for Security Enhancement are pleased to present a dynamic 3 day TSCM Tradecraft Certificate Training Program. This professional course is one of the few international TSCM certification courses available in North America and is a highly recommended for security professionals in the government and private sector. This program is designed to educate both current and developing TSCM operators, government personnel, security directors / managers, corporate personnel and those responsible for contracting TSCM services with the nature of eavesdropping threats and the ways these threats can be countered.
The responsibility of managing security functions can be a very difficult undertaking and is of vital importance for any organization. A strong understanding of TSCM services is imperative to properly understand the close relationship with other security functions. The Advanced TSCM Tradecraft Training program will provide a greater awareness and familiarization of advanced TSCM operations and enhance the attendee's ability to develop proper policies and programs and maintain defenses against the loss of private confidential and proprietary information.
* World Institute for Security Enhancement is a highly respected provider of advanced specialized security training in a wide variety of disciplines to Private Industry and Government Agencies around the world. The skill and experience that comes from such an organization cannot be overlooked and provides the highest level of recognized professional credibility that could not otherwise be attained.
Program Objectives:
To acquaint the Technical Security Specialist and the Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) "Sweeper" with the nature of the eavesdropping threat and the ways that it can be countered. To provide the attendee with information and an operational approach that can be applied to their own situation when designing and maintaining eavesdropping defenses. To introduce the attendee with the traditional "Tradecraft" approach and its relationship to the emerging Global Threat and High Technology associated with TSCM "Sweeps".
Method of Presentation:
The subject is presented in a series of lectures, demonstrations & practical exercises that include the following:
Eavesdropping Techniques:
Methods of Detecting or Defeating Them
The eavesdropper's methods of physically penetrating the selected target are described as are the methods of concealing eavesdropping devices.
The Tools of the TSCM Specialist
Detailed descriptions of the detection devices used by the TSCM Specialist in conducting inspections are accompanied by demonstrations that display their effectiveness.
TSCM Tradecraft
Introduction to the "Trade Craft" implemented by the TSCM Specialist in conducting a "Sweep" are accompanied by demonstrations that display their effectiveness.
Strategy & Tactics for a TSCM Inspection
The tactics to be used in conducting a TSCM inspection in ways that are most likely to deceive the eavesdropper are described. The use of a check list in that process to organize a sweep team's activities for maximum efficiency is included.
Dealing with Contingencies
The features of a contingency plan to be used at the time that the eavesdropping activity is detected are described. A detailed check list of the things to be considered at the time of a discovery is included in this presentation.
Design Features of Secure Areas
Whether a special secure room is to be constructed or an existing room is to be made secure, this program is useful in illustrating the points of vulnerability that may be exploited by a professional eavesdropper. The ways that the vulnerabilities can be reduced are described.
Practical Exercises:
Familiarization of various equipment types and established procedures are promoted and demonstrated throughout the training process. The applications & techniques of a professional "sweep" are stressed in our hands on approach. This ensures that every participant gains the information necessary to assist in conducting a TSCM inspection in the field.
* Upon completion of this Professional Education Training Program, a mounted certificate is awarded in "Technical Surveillance Countermeasures - Tradecraft"
* We are pleased to announce the newly developed and highly anticipated advanced Palantir TSCM Fast Acquisition Receiver (FAR) will be included in the Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) - Tradecraft Training Program in Ottawa, November 1 - 3, 2011. The Palantir FAR is positioned to set a new standard in SDR based receiver technology with the fastest digital signal processing board in the commercial marketplace along with a host of advanced capabilities and an advanced professional TSCM specific operator software application coded to an exacting set of specifications in accordance with government software writing standards.
