Political violence, grey zone conflict, terrorism and stochastic propaganda are converging on the US, often in ways existing policies were never built to cover. Written for our own underwriters, this report maps the threats and the actors driving them. Describing where current protection falls short and what to do about it.

No one is actually taken, but victims are coerced into providing fake proof, such as a live-stream hostage scene, a voice on the phone - while a scammer demands fast, untraceable payment. This guide covers how the deception works, the tells that expose it, and what to do the moment a ransom call comes in.

Rising prices don’t just squeeze budgets; in the wrong conditions, they erode the political settlement that keeps the state stable. This guide sets out the three factors that predict which countries tip into unrest, and what that means for staff, operations, and travel risk.

A state doesn't need a real crime to hold your people, just a plausible legal wrapper and something it wants from your government. This guide unpacks how detention differs from kidnap, who gets targeted, and why the route to release is rarely straightforward.

Stadiums, malls, hotels, schools... The venue changes, but the pattern doesn’t. Existing security measures rarely cover where these attacks take place. This report maps the threat across nine high-footfall settings and what it means for how risk is treated.

Climate change doesn't just reshape the physical world; it's rewriting the malicious risk landscape too. This guide sets out three ways climate change is driving political violence, terrorism, and strategic competition, and what that means for organisations operating in an increasingly contested world.

Fifty active shooter incidents in a single year, and more than half of the country’s domestic terror attacks now happening at demonstrations. The threat is armed, personal and largely unpredictable. See how the risk is defined, measured and tested in this report.

Southeast Asia’s malicious risks used to be local and largely predictable. This is no longer the case: Islamic fighters are dispersing, organised crime is travelling, strikes and riots are rising, and countries are competing over the same waters. Understand what this means for people on the ground.

Fourteen countries, most of them fragile, sit on the resources everyone wants. Russia, China, the Gulf states, and their proxies have created a new order. Understanding what this means for assets, contracts and duty of care for firms operating there.
