“Now more than ever it’s important for us to recognize the fact that biases can affect the frontline security professional. Implicit bias is a universal a human trait, none of us are immune. Particularly, because we are changed with the role of identifying suspicious behavior and possibility even questioning, detaining or confronting others. We have to acknowledge that our internal biases can affect those decisions. If we make the wrong decision based on a bias, we could face effects from reputational damage, loss of job, even physical harm. As an industry we need to address implicit bias before it becomes a problem.”
about GreyLake training solutions
Through the Greylake Academy, we’ve developed a learning program for security professionals about how implicit bias impacts our decisions and actions in security operations. These skills can reduce incidents that can lead to physical, psychological, legal, and reputational damage. These critical skills help security professionals practice self-introspection, explore decision-making models, and investigate the reason for and effects of implicit bias on ourselves, the security industry, and society. The lessons utilize social-emotional learning tactics to build empathy, self-awareness, and cultural competencies. Greylake is expanding the curriculum for security professionals with offerings on conflict resolution, including de-escalation, crisis communications, and critical incident response tactics. Next in the curriculum, a course on using behavioral threat detection skills to determine who is a threat based on universal human behaviors rather than a person’s outward appearance. We also offer coaching and consulting to security leaders who are interested in enhancing emotional intelligence skills within their business units.
