Business travel threats are dynamic: they’re neither constant nor consistent. They change for many reasons, and when a threat is unidentified or the capabilities of the threat expand, they’re often referred to as emerging threats. How to identify and manage them is the difference between strategic safety planning and hopeful complacency.
Threats can affect travelers, their plans and business objectives. Security professionals cannot alter or eliminate threats. But since vulnerable targets, such as business travelers, are attractive to threats, security teams can reduce the vulnerabilities of the traveling workforce by mitigating their vulnerabilities with specific procedures, behavior modification and training that specifically addresses the threat.
