As security teams pressure-test their operations heading into 2027, political violence needs to be on the list. It has moved from a background concern to something that shows up in boardrooms. Executives targeted. Brands drawn into disputes they want no part in. What's missing is practical guidance for corporations on what to do about it.
Mark Freedman spent almost a decade as a US State Department officer, including as Chief of Staff to the Ambassador-at-Large for Counterterrorism. He now runs Rebel Global Security and is lead author of a new guide, co-developed with Liferaft, built specifically for corporate security and intelligence teams.
In this webinar, Mark looks at what the midterm cycle revealed and what to expect next, then walks through the four-phase framework at the heart of the guide: how to work out whether your organization is a target, how to tell protected expression from genuine warning signs, how to size your response to the risk rather than the noise, and how to keep a program aligned with a threat environment that will not hold still.
What you'll take away:
- A clear read on the political violence threat environment beyond the midterms and what it means for corporate security planning in 2027
- A practical way to assess whether your organization, executives or brand are likely targets
- How to distinguish protected expression and protest activity from genuine warning signs of violence
- A method for scaling your response to the actual level of risk, so you avoid both under-reacting and overspending on noise
- How to keep your program aligned as the threat environment shifts, rather than relying on a plan that goes stale
