FCC
participates in the
“Learning how to
live securely”
workshop at the Spanish
Chamber of Commerce
in Mexico
FCC took part in the workshop “Learning
how to live securely”, an event organised
by the Security Commission of the Spanish
Chamber of Commerce (CAMESCOM) in
Mexico City.
The Security Commission of CAMESCOM in
Mexico was set up this year following a pro-
posal put forward by some of its members
with a view to promote and disseminate the
culture of safety and cyber security among
colleagues.
Joaquín González López, head of security
for the FCC Group in America, and member
of the Security Commission, came forward
to highlight the importance of establishing
effective measures to prevent offences and
to protect citizens in an effort to guarantee a
more secure future.
David Lee Zamora, national manager of the
security campaign “For a more secure futu-
re”, gave a dynamic talk entitled “Learning
how to live securely” on how to tackle the
issue of insecurity. Although the speech cen-
tred around the current context of security in
Mexico, in his talk David Lee proposed five
steps, transposable to any setting, which
should be followed by all citizens in order to
prevent or undo the offence:
1.
IInformation, as a knowledge process
that should encourage us to reflect
and recognise the necessary actions to
counteract crime.
2.
Risk analysis, to assess the threats pre-
sent in our lives.
3.
Plans, to react accordingly when faced
with adverse events in a personal, fa-
mily, neighbour, school, work and social
context.
4.
Security habits that are properly acqui-
red, internalised and repeated to help
minimise the possibility of becoming a
victim.
5.
Investing in equipment to enable us to
live securely and to protect our lives
and belongings; always with expert
guidance.
Experts claim that 90% of success with tac-
kling the crime is down to prevention, 5%
owing to how we react and the rest, luck.
These percentages emphasise the promi-
nence of raising awareness of the topic in or-
der to combat insecurity, reduce the number
of victims and prevent young people from
becoming criminals.
Lastly, with regard to the question and reflec-
tion of how we can play a part in changing
Mexico, he called on the packed audience
to join efforts to become part of the solution
instead of the problem.
