Taking place ahead of Behavioural Analysis 2026, this half-day workshop introduces Behaviour Detection as a foundational professional competency for security practitioners working in ports, transport hubs and critical infrastructure. Designed as a Behaviour Detection 101 gateway, the session provides shared terminology, operational context and cross-sector perspectives, while remaining intentionally introductory. The aim is not to replicate the depth of the main conference, but to prepare participants to fully benefit from it.

Drawing on airport security as a mature reference environment, the workshop explores how behavioural principles can be transposed and adapted to maritime, port and other complex operational settings. Expert framing is combined with practitioner dialogue to illustrate how behaviour detection complements technology, supports human decision-making and contributes to addressing a broad threat spectrum.

A dedicated interactive session focuses on insider risk and insider threat, examining how behavioural indicators can support early identification of compromised or coerced personnel, without reliance on profiling, and improve escalation and coordination in real-world operations.

The workshop will take place on Tuesday 15 September 2026, from 13:00 to 17:00, at the Qubus Hotel, Krakow, Poland. Participation is open to all, with a preferential rate for Behavioural Analysis 2026 participants.
