Bespoke Programmes
At Defuse®, we passionately believe that sharing our knowledge and expertise is key to achieving our mission to offer effective risk management for high-profile individuals and businesses. We draw exclusively on methods and philosophies that are researched and operationally proven.
We have extensive experience of delivering bespoke training in protective intelligence and cybersecurity to some of the world’s leading security providers and close protection operatives. Our training can be delivered formally in face-to-face settings or via high-quality webinar masterclasses "I have had the pleasure of meeting Phil & invited him to do a presentation on threat management to my fellow colleagues at Kroll in London. We had a huge turnout & the presentation was interesting, informative & lasted double the time we had initially allocated for it, due to the interest shown by my colleagues. Phil has a wealth of knowledge about threat management" Nick Doyle, MD & Head of Security Risk Management, Kroll
"Philip has presented his craft to members of the Security Institute and there is no doubt that he is a master of this niche area of security advice. Stalkers and fixated people are often unpredictable, but as far as it can be predicted, Philip has a solid expert viewpoint that only comes from experience and academic rigour. There is no one else I would seek advice from if I found my family, friends or colleagues being victimised by such a stalker" Rick Mounfield, (Formerly) Chief Executive, The Security Institute
