Profiling is a controversial but essential tool in the security industry, aiming to protect people and property while respecting individual rights. It involves identifying patterns and behaviours that may indicate potential threats, rather than judging based on superficial characteristics. A pragmatic approach to profiling considers the broader social context, prioritizing vigilance without prejudice. Ethical concerns arise from the tension between individual rights and collective security, with critics arguing that profiling can lead to unfair treatment of certain groups. An ethical approach to profiling requires focusing on behaviour, context, and situational cues, rather than superficial characteristics. Emotional intelligence plays a significant role in understanding the motivations behind actions. Misapplication of profiling can lead to ethical breaches, discrimination, and legal repercussions. Regular training and exposure are essential for mitigating these risks. Statistical analysis can provide valuable insights into crime and behaviour patterns but should be used to inform, not dictate behaviour. Ethical profiling should prioritise human dignity and communication, ensuring that security professionals remain vigilant protectors of safety without compromising these values. #security #profiling #ethics #Behaviour #actions #experience

“It’s only when we’re fully engaged as a team that comms professionals can properly understand the legal implications and lawyers can consider the reputational risks.”   Our head of crisis and special situations Tali Robinson, has written for PRovoke Media, following an event we held last month with leading law firm, BCLP on the intersection of #CrisisCommunications and #litigation, on why we, as reputation managers should insist that all of our clients’ trusted advisors are in the room, agreeing strategy together from the outset of an issue.   The types of crises that are increasingly keeping the C-suite up at night – including generative AI and deepfakes, data leaks and cyber-attacks, and growing expectations of responsible business practices – are ones that especially require a comprehensive response in order to protect clients’ reputations, mitigate legal risk, and ensure business viability.    If you’d like to discuss your risk profile and crisis preparedness, please get in touch with the team at [email protected].   Read Tali’s full opinion piece here: https://lnkd.in/ei3VxN8S   #StrategicCommunications #CrisisCommunications #ArtificialIntelligence #CyberSecurity #CyberAttack #ResponsibleBusiness

Deadly pager blasts in Lebanon kill 100 and injure 4000. It was an agreement of security between Mot0rola and M0sad, which is I$raeli intelligence. This agreement allowed I$rael to have access to all the information gathered through Mot0rola devices in Lebanon. This information included the details of innocent people, putting their lives at ri$k. The involvement of Motor0la in this terr0r has rai$ed concerns about the safety of consumers. The question arises: where is America, the champion of humanity? Motorola, an American company, is involved in this terr0r. This rai$es serious questions about the responsibility of American companies and their ethical obligations. Motor0la devices are widely used by Lebanon for communication purposes. However, this creates an inherent risk as Israel has access to all the data transmitted through these devices. The consequences of this breach of privacy are far-reaching and can have serious con$equences for the safety and well-being of innocent people. In light of these revelations, it is crucial for consumers to be mindful of the products they use. Motor0la and iPh0ne, which are both American products, should not be trusted. The use of these products not only promotes terr0ri$m but also puts the lives of consumers at ri$k. It is imperative for con$umers to avoid buying Motor0la and iPh0ne, as well as any other USA products. These products prom0te terr0r and cannot guarantee the safety of individuals. It is crucial for all individuals to be aware of the p0tential ri$ks ass0ciated with using electr0nic and communication products from any country. All USA electr0nic and communication products can be u$ed to k!ll common people anywhere in the world. This is an alarming reality that demands attention and action. By being aware of this potential threat and av0iding pr0ducts from countries inv0lved in terr0r activitie$, individuals can safeguard their lives and the lives of others. In conclusion, the involvement of Motor0la and the iPh0ne in this terr0r incident highlights the ethical dilemmas faced by American companies. It is imp0rtant for consumers to be vigilant and make informed decisions about the products they use. By avoiding Motor0la and iPh0ne, as well as products from countries that support terr0ri$m, individuals can protect themselves and ensure a safer world. #Israel #Mosad #Lebnon #Device #Humanity #World #USA #Europe #asia #India #Gulf #aware #mobile #Palestine #gaza #freepalestine
