About the webinar
The targets, tactics, and techniques of terrorists have changed dramatically over the past 40 years. In the past, terrorists were willing to die, but not looking to die, for their cause. Today, suicide attackers are much more prevalent. New threats are more brutal and violent than the past. From the Islamic State to homegrown violent extremists, terrorists continue to evolve their tactics to defeat security measures. In this webinar, explore the latest global terrorism trends and how they affect the security of both government and corporate organizations.
