This fast-paced briefing provides up-to-the-minute information on emergent threats to leaders, managers, operators, and analysts to better assess vulnerabilities and develop a targeted security plan for their facilities and event venues. The presenter discusses the human aspect of security, current state of international and domestic terrorism threats, trends in violent crime, growing phenomena of insider threat, and why soft targets are vulnerable and remain the top choice of target for nefarious actors.
