Understanding the threat -Terrorism targets high profile venues

Sports, recreation, business and entertainment venues are places where large numbers of people gather to share cultural interests making them an attractive target for terrorism.

What we can do for you

Today’s major terrorist groups target high-profile venues to cause mass casualties, making large events particularly vulnerable. Providing security in these environments is challenging, as it requires balancing operational needs with safety. Avon Barrier specialises in tailored protection solutions, assisting with assessing threat levels, required protection, and logistical and financial constraints to ensure optimal security.

Identifying the threat

Creating solutions starts with identifying threats, assessing risks and vulnerabilities, and prioritising protection areas.

Threats include:

Hostile vehicle attacks (with/without IEDs)
Suicide bombers
Lone wolf gunmen
Mass attack gunmen
Small explosive devices

Protection priorities:

People
Critical infrastructure
Information
Operational processes
