Knowledge Collection, Application and Transfer
Education/Training Courses, Seminars, Workshops, Conferences, Studies and Analyses

While Asset Security and Protection is largely based on science and technology, the collection, application and transfer of the knowledge in usable, coherent form is the payoff. The TS2Corp conceptual framework is based an understanding of, and experience in, how technology (primarily from the basic sciences of physics, chemistry and biology) and knowledge collection and application can be applied through process and methodology to address a major portion of the Asset Security and Protection equation. TS2Corp assists clients through the planning, preparation, protection and prevention phases that form the foundation for the response, recover, reconstitute and rebuild functions.

TS2Corp offers the full range of Knowledge Collection, Application and Transfer functions including research, studies, and analyses; writing and editing, publishing, discussion groups, seminars, workshops, courses and small to large conferences. The TS2Corp principals have years of experience in all of these activities.

Training Services provided through TS2Corp

Biological/Chemical/Radiological

TS2Corp provides excellent training and consulting services and products for bio-terrorism overview, preparedness, mitigation, systems and other related areas of bio-terrorism. In addition, TS2Corp helps clients understand the threat, how to develop an analysis of the threat and how to prepare for the threat.

TS2Corp offers many courses including classes on chemical safety, a chemical terrorism overview, personal protection equipment, as well as EMS, Safety and WMD training courses.

With the recent concern about "dirty bombs" and the threat of nuclear or radiological terrorism, Americans are unprepared for a radiological attack. TS2Corp teaches clients about radiological terrorism, radiation safety management, dirty bombs and tactical response to the issues. TS2Corp discusses radiological effects on the human body including reviewing the assessment of dose rates and risks of dirty bombs, the fallout and its effects. TS2Corp discusses strategies and tactical systems for response, mitigation, securing and learning from such events.

Counter and Anti-Terrorism

TS2Corp provides a wide array of one to three day seminars on different aspects of counter and anti-terrorism. Designed for each client based on needs and threat, these courses are provided by specialists with years of experience in education and government service.

• History of Modern International Terrorism
• What is Terrorism?
• Psychology of Terrorists
• Personal Security Awareness
• Structural and Architectural vulnerabilities and solutions
• Information Assurance
• Infrastructure Security
• First Responder training
• Intercultural Training

Threat Analysis/Risk Management

TS2Corp also provides risk assessments and threat analyses. Using "Red Teams" to evaluate vulnerabilities and shortfalls, TS2Corp specialists can isolate areas that require management consideration for "hardening" against potential attacks. Those areas of concern include the physical plant, cyber networks, communications and internal policies.

TS2Corp provides a systems integration approach to risk mitigation and vulnerability reduction. In today's society, the growth and complexity of risk and its associated security issues has relegated single-source security solutions to the past. Addressing problems in today's environment demands a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to ensure thorough analysis, pragmatic solutions, and integrated, pro-active implementation. TS2Corp offers a range of strategic services focusing on both the private and public sectors.

TS2Corp is uniquely postured to provide turnkey risk mitigation solutions through a combination of in-house core competencies and strategic relationships with experts in associated fields. The TS2Corp primary emphases include:

• Threat and Vulnerability Assessments
• Security Plan/Program Development
• Force Protection
• Combating Terrorism
• Asset Protection

TS2Corp's advantage is the TS2Corp holistic approach to risk mitigation and collective, TS2Corp proven experience at all levels of project execution and management, TS2Corp ability to analyze situational requirements and direct contingency planning, and TS2Corp responsiveness in mobilizing teams to develop and implement innovative solutions. Applying systems integration, TS2Corp tackles each situation with a "tool box" of analytical, evaluative, and practical tools-seeking to determine and apply those tools most appropriate to the job:

• Information Assurance
• Technology Development
• Background Investigations
• Continuity of Operations/Business
• Modeling and Simulation
• Emergency Management

Focusing largely on combating terrorism, TS2Corp's philosophy of pro-active defense is founded on the five tenets of risk mitigation:

• Deterrence
• Defense of Critical Assets
• Detection/Delay
• Mitigation
• Disruption/Interdiction

The TS2Corp primary goal is prevention/deterrence through thorough assessment and pro-active steps. As a secondary goal, TS2Corp anticipates and prepares adequate contingency measures to mitigate damage in the event deterrence proves insufficient. The first step in risk mitigation is thorough analyses of potential threats. TS2Corp conducts detailed threat assessments utilizing open source information and proprietary data. Once the threat has been clearly defined, TS2Corp assesses the client's vulnerability to that threat. Because vulnerabilities exist throughout an infrastructure and to varying degrees, TS2Corp assembles teams qualified to evaluate situation-specific vulnerability. TS2Corp also has the capability of providing "Red Teams" for testing existing security efforts. TS2Corp teams understand and transcend the complexities of multidisciplinary coordination and contingency planning to analyze, remediate, and reduce the client's vulnerability to the full spectrum of potential liabilities. This turnkey approach results in broad-based assessments, identification of vulnerabilities, and reasonable and prudent steps to implement systems, standards, and procedures necessary to reduce vulnerabilities. Recognizing that security guarantees are impractical, TS2Corp recommendations include strategies to mitigate the threat and develop contingency plans in the event deterrence and prevention fail.

TS2Corp personnel and associates have conducted threat and vulnerability assessments-both domestic and overseas-for U.S. Federal and state agencies, foreign embassies and governments, major corporations, and high-worth citizens. The TS2Corp team is well versed in terrorist groups and their methods, having provided training and education on terrorist organizations and leadership for over 20 years.
