Anticipate Risk - Be Prepared
Russia continues to test NATO’s borders, the Ukraine War has intensified and the conflict in Gaza has escalated. Within the US, tensions are growing as political divides are widening. Attacks are not just with weapons and bullets but there is growing use of misinformation, polarising politics and cyber-attacks on key infrastructures.
While some of these issues are happening in far-away places, some of them are happening in our own backyards too. The implications for businesses and their stakeholders are imminent and real. From travel chaos at major airports, to financial information being hacked, we need to take pay more attention to security threats at home as well as abroad.
Chartwell’s speakers bring key insights and relevant perspectives on these important issues:
