What Today's Permacrisis Means for Corporate Security Teams

The Ontic Connected Intelligence Podcast

With multiple crises happening around the globe, it’s impossible for organizations to ignore the threat of geopolitics to their business. Security teams are forced to think beyond what’s happening now and consider what’s around the corner. Many understand the duty of care to keep employees safe; however not all realize that this extends to the geopolitical landscape. It is the duty of security leaders to help their organization make sense of what’s happening and be a calm voice in the midst of permacrisis.
