SPEAKERS
Aidan Anderson - Association of Security Consultants
Kidnappings, robberies and the effects of terrorism, were not the only issues dealt with by Aidan Anderson during his time as security manager within Danske Bank, but they brought about a high degree of focus into daily operations. In a career that has encompassed the design of large and complex CCTV and access control systems, Aidan moved from Westinghouse, to Northern Bank, as its Security Adviser. Over an 18 year period in the Bank, Aidan took security from a property related function into what Aidan sees as its natural home, Risk, allowing it to be recognised and governed within that regime. Establishing RedLeaf Consultancy in 2013, Aidan brings a high degree of expertise to clients, allowing them to control security, as one of many risks, within an effective governance regime.
Aidan’s professionalism is recognised by being a Chartered Security Professional and a member of both the Security Institute and Association of Security Consultants.
