Security Background
Businesses are continually at risk from external and deliberate threats from burglary, deception, crime and espionage from protest groups to terrorism. September 11 verified the vulnerability of businesses to terrorist attack, with share prices tumbling and talks of global recession.
Over the last decade there has been a major shift away from government targets, towards business and the commercial propositions. US State Department statistics show that nearly 60% of terrorist attacks worldwide were against businesses, with explosives being used in over half them.
There is a business need to think strategically about the risks faced and plan mitigation measures. Plowman Craven offers an ordered approach to assessing terrorist threat and analysing the associated risks.
The Cost Of Terrorism
Businesses need to consider the potential risks faced and plan mitigation measures. It is impossible to put a true cost on an attack as the effects can be measured in numerous ways such as loss of life and distress, to business disruption, loss of revenue to the diminution of the UK's international reputation.
