We may not exactly live within a “paperless” society, but we’re pretty darn close. Trillions of dollars are shuffled around the globe through encrypted communications between computers. Dollars, Yens, Euros…they rarely change hands physically and usually only at the consumer level. What does this mean for the world and your operations in particular? Your entire fortune is merely a power failure or a computer interruption away from oblivion. To make matters more disturbing, the virtual world through which your fortune swirls is swarming with terrorists, drug traffickers, organized criminals, and countless other thugs desiring of ill-gotten game and money laundering. Terrorists and criminal gangs not only launder their monies via computer, but also plan and coordinate attacks against your country and your business utilizing the countless social networking sites that have flourished during the past half decade. Your very employees may unwittingly aid and abet these thugs through uploading personal and corporate data into these virtual “alternate realities”. |

You’re at war whether you care to admit it or not. Bad decisions mean more today than just whether you go out of business. They mean a disruption in your community, a degradation of our national security, and a beachhead for terrorists and other criminals who want to exchange their ideologies for our liberties. To prevent financial Armageddon, you need to batten down the hatches and implement quick damage control procedures to weather the economic storm. To prepare for this eventuality requires you to know not just your own operations but also the vast array of threats directed against your business and your industry. You need the best weapons available, the best strategies (offensive and defensive) to employ, and recruit the best financial warriors on the market. Second best simply means first failure. |
