Vaikuttaminen, vakoilu ja tiedonhankinta
Vaikuttaminen, vakoilu ja tiedonhankinta is a part of Turvallisuus ja riskit – johda strategisesti seminar series.
Are you and your organisation aware of malicious influence, and can you identify the business and security risks? Without effective safeguards, your company and its key people could be exposed to data leaks, manipulation or reputational damage.
Key people in your company are constantly subject to attempts to influence them, to shape their thinking and behaviour - sometimes with harmful intentions. Global political tensions and changes in the security environment have increased information interference, espionage, and identity theft, posing a threat to your business. Your company's skills, people, partnerships, and information are valuable - that's why they are vulnerable to exploitation.
In the Vaikuttaminen, vakoilu ja tiedonhankinta training, you will learn how to identify the growing risks of information gathering and influence against key people in your organisation. The focus is on identifying human psychology, cognitive functioning, and emotional vulnerabilities. We will also delve into the means of influence and concrete methods of protection, both at the personal and organisational level.
Please note that this program is held in Finnish.
