With many businesses working from home and cities witnessing significantly reduced numbers of commuters its far too easy to forget about the threat of terrorism. Things will open up again but maybe not the same as they were. However offices, landmarks, crowded spaces and people working in cities will remain targets for terror organisations, especially…
In November 2015, a terrorist cell conducted a series of coordinated attacks in Paris, using firearms and suicide bombs, killing 130 people and injuring 368 more.

Its difficult in today's world to identify why an organization, an individual or even a country may become targets for cyber or physical attacks or whether they may come to the attention of various types of activists or activist organisations. It can be something as simple as who supplied your funding, who your shareholders are, your social media posts, an individual within the organisation. The threat of radicalisation of staff and that neednt be to an extreme level leading to forms of inside a risk is one that very few organisations are currently considering. And I'm getting asked to talk more and more at conferences about staff radicalisation. And I think it's going to rapidly become an issue. I think we've all seen in recent months, maybe years, but definitely in recent months, a large number of protests, demonstrations, and events, either on things like Palestine, immigration, environmental issues. And what we've seen is clips being posted either on the news or in the press or on social, people being identified, taken with a comment, who is this person and where do they work. Very rapidly that gets answered sometimes correctly, sometimes incorrectly. And that can lead to a huge pile on, on both the individual and the organisation. And it exposes both to, both to the potential of both cyber attacks, social media type attacks, and in person physical attacks. So it could mean someone turns up at your organisation, as soon as they see someone walk out of your building with that lanyard on, they can become a victim and you're going to see more and more and more of that, I think happen over a short period of time.
