Watch their discussion, as they cover:

  • Security risk rankings, and why some risks are not rated higher, including threats to executives, workplace violence, supply chain security and third party risk
  • Geopolitical risks to watch in 2026
  • How intel teams can serve both the corporate security team and also add valuable insights to the C-Suite
  • Why silos still challenge corporate security effectiveness, despite progress in collaboration among corporate security professionals
  • The challenges of effective communication with the C-Suite on specific risks, including threats to executives, as well as more broadly to build influence
