The year 2026 is confirming a paradigm shift in Corporate Security. Organizations are investing more than ever in executive and personnel protection, organizational resilience, and integrated risk management, driven by the growing number of threats targeting executives and business travelers, as well as an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. For this reason, this year we have […]

In the European debate on business internationalization, the United States continues to occupy an ambivalent position. On the one hand, it represents the largest Western market; on the other, it is often perceived as a complex environment characterized by geopolitical risks, regulatory uncertainty, and growing social polarization. According to Francesco Serafini, many of these concerns

Let’s imagine (although it may not take much imagination) a conversation between a CEO, passionate about efficiency, allergic to reports longer than two pages, and a young Travel Risk Manager. Let’s call them Mark and Sarah. Mark: Sarah, I opened your quarterly report and immediately noticed an entire section dedicated to climate change. I thought I had hired a

For decades, corporate security has been structured around a clear organizational divide: on one side, physical security, with its access control protocols, guards, video surveillance systems, and perimeter protection; on the other, cybersecurity, with firewalls, intrusion detection systems, identity management, and cyber incident response.

Fragmented digital environments, the hybrid use of open and closed platforms, and strategic deception all complicate assessments. Effective monitoring therefore depends not just on technical

The protection of corporate executives has historically relied on physical security measures: close protection teams, trained drivers, surveillance systems, and controlled access protocols. While these remain relevant, they are no longer sufficient in the face of a profound transformation in the nature of threats. In recent years, most attacks targeting senior executives no longer begin

Introduction In recent years, the digitalization of the economy has profoundly transformed not only markets and exchange mechanisms, but also the forms of economic and financial crime. Phenomena such as cybercrime, money laundering, and terrorist financing are not entirely new; what has changed, however, is the way in which they manifest, intertwine, and exploit the

The reflections in this brief contribution aim to outline the highly contemporary topic of the dialogue between risk and the tools of artificial intelligence. In recent years, in both academic and corporate contexts, there has been extensive debate regarding the relationship between risk, society, the economy, and technology. In the following pages, an attempt will

Introduction In the contemporary world, international mobility cannot be interpreted as a neutral or merely ancillary function. Traveling—especially to countries characterized by political instability, latent conflicts, endemic crises, or open geopolitical rivalries—means exposing oneself to a plurality of risks that go beyond the physical dimension. In this context, travel security emerges as a strategic field
