ASIS Europe: The Spooks are Back in Town: The Return of Espionage and Sabotage as Corporate Crisis Drivers in the Slipstream of the Ukraine Conflict

Looking well beyond the September 2022 Nord Stream gas pipeline attacks, this presentation will focus on how a series of corporate crises caused by espionage and sabotage operations in Europe in Q3 and Q4 of 2022 all believed tied to the Ukraine conflict have brought about a profound new understanding of the requirements for corporate crisis preparedness in these areas.

The presentation will examine these threats' impacts on risk appreciation, crisis preparedness and crisis management, with learnings derived from different - mostly hidden - recent crises in Europe offering the audience key insights on addressing them. This will cover both internal and external security and crisis control do's and don'ts, including interaction with national security agencies.
