FORMER INTELLIGENCE OFFICER TO SPEAK ABOUT IMPORTANCE OF INFORMATION SECURITY AND TERRORISM THREATS IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS
March 15, 2011 Peoria, IL – CIAN, Inc. is pleased to announce that renowned US security expert, Ray Semko, also known as the “D*I*C*E* man, is coming to Peoria May 26, 2011. Semko, a retired Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) counter intelligence agent began spreading the word world-wide in the form of security awareness training while still serving in his government position. Semko is known for his D*I*C*E* program that has been utilized by the government and private sector for over 20 years. D*I*C*E* stands for Defensive Information to Counter Espionage.
Semko’s presentation explains the necessity and process of recognizing adversaries and targets, methods adversaries use, and countermeasures which can be taken. This informational seminar will help protect invaluable trade secrets, business plans, and even personal information.
CIAN is sponsoring this free opportunity to hear Semko speak as part of their goal to raise awareness of security and terrorism threats to businesses, local law enforcement, local Department of Defense personnel, and the community. Semko’s two hour presentation will focus on protecting company and client information from theft and how to recognize terror threats at the local level.
“Terrorism will never be eradicated but I am trying to minimize it by making everyday citizens aware that it exists,” Semko said. “The Peoria area in particular, located between two major cities, Chicago and St. Louis, provides an ideal location for terrorist activity and staging.”
“It is an honor for CIAN to bring someone of Ray’s caliber here to Peoria,” said Steve Hope, President and CEO of CIAN, Inc. “Our goal is to increase awareness among local government, businesses and private citizens and point out the options we have available to protect themselves, their businesses and our country.
