Review - International Security Management
Ian Messenger
International Security Management is a Coursera short course offered by Erasmus University Rotterdam.
While not immediately related to Financial Crime or Compliance, there are a number of topics covered that can add value to the FC professionals toolkit.
The course content includes:
An introduction to the international security landscape
Managing security
Internet Intelligence and Investigation
Serious Organised Crime
Leadership in security management
Illicit trade
A positive lens on safety
The topics which have most value to the Financial Crime professional are Internet Intelligence and Investigation, Serious Organised Crime, and Illicit trade.
Similar to other Coursera offerings, there is a free option to take the course without assessment or certificate or CAD $65 for the assessed version - with a certificate.
While there are some interesting points raised in the course - internet Intelligence and Investigation, Serious Organised Crime, and Illicit trade - the course itself is quite basic and I would suggest that the assessments are easy enough to pass without reading the material.
Unless you want a certificate for your LinkedIn profile, I’d suggest taking the free option to see if the course meets your needs before paying for the assessed version.
