SMi CBRN-E Asia Pacific
IB Consultancy is proud to organize the Protecting Critical infrastructure against CBRN-E Terrorism Workshop on April 13th 2011 in Singapore. This workshop is part of the SMi CBRNe Asia Pacific Conference that will take place April 11th and 12th in the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore. IB Consultancy invites you to participate in this great workshop.
Attend this workshop where you will receive timely updates on a methodology for risk and threat assessment of critical infrastructure. The assessment will be performed using a real infrastructural object with a relatively high threat level, a metro station. Using the methodology two assessments will be performed, one is fictive a so called zero situation of the metro station where we assume that no countermeasures against CBRN attacks are implemented and one for the actual situation in the station including the active countermeasures. The actual situation which will be assessed during a tour of the facility will be compared to the zero situation. This comparison will show the added value of the countermeasures in terms of lives saved and improved resilience against CBRN attacks.
Benefits of attending:
- Insight in the approach to threat and risk assessments in the European Union,
- Understanding the Comis model and the benefits of its use,
- Visit of metro facility and state of the art countermeasures,
- Insight in the interactions of countermeasures and the benefits of a system approach.
- Improving the understanding of the participants on the consequences of a CBRN attack on a critical infrastructure
Who should attend?
- First responders
- Proprietors of critical infrastructure
- Private security staff and personnel
- Policy makers

Rutger Gaasbeek earned his bachelor degree in technical physics, at the Rijswijk Technical College in 2004. While working as a scientist with TNO he conducted research on airflows in gasmasks with the focus on the characterization of various types of carbons used in all types of collective and individual protective equipment. In 2006 Rutger focused his attention on threat analyses of CBRN materials. A typical analysis would determine the severity of a threat posed by various types of actors, based on their capabilities. Rutger participated in a number of projects related to threat and risk assessment for institutions like the EDA, NATO, the Dutch MOD and the office of internal affairs. Furthermore Rutger has substantial experience in the use of prediction models like Comis, HPAC and RAP. In May 2010, Rutger became a fulltime consultant at IB Consultancy, and is currently the research coordinator of CBRN threat analyses.
