The Changing Face of Global Terrorism

Terrorism can take many shapes and involve a vast range of political or ideological agendas. But there are common threads linking all acts of terror: they involve the use of threat of violence, they are random—potentially occurring in any country, against any target, at any time—and their ultimate goal is to generate fear. As terror tactics continue to evolve, individuals and corporations around the globe cannot depend on security forces for their safety. In environments perceived as “safe,” taking proactive measures to mitigate terror-related threats is imperative at both a personal and corporate level.
