Description
As geopolitical competition intensifies and regional instability continues to evolve, global events are increasingly influencing the resilience of our nation's critical infrastructures. For senior technology and business leaders, these developments create tangible operational, cyber, and enterprise risks that demand strategic attention.
This intelligence-style briefing will explore how emerging geopolitical tensions can disrupt global commerce, impact domestic security and resource availability, and elevate the risk of cyber and physical threats against our Nation's critical infrastructure. The discussion will focus on practical implications and guidance for organizations, including strengthening operational resilience, improving preparedness across interconnected systems, and enhancing the ability to respond and recover from large-scale disruptions.
Led by Glenn Corn, former CIA senior executive and multiple-time Chief of Station with more than three decades of experience across Eurasia and the Middle East, the session will provide unique insight into the geopolitical forces shaping today's risk environment. Drawing on recent international engagements and firsthand observations, Glenn will offer a timely perspective on how global instability is influencing enterprise risk—and what leading organizations are doing to navigate an increasingly uncertain operating environment.
