Navigating an Evolving Information Ecosystem: Mitigating Threats to Digital and Physical Assets Posed by Mis/Disinformation

Amidst geopolitical uncertainty, information is increasingly being manipulated and weaponized to move from online activity to offline risk. From doxxing and location targeting to calls for protest or physical violence, threats are designed to influence consumer buying decisions, brand reputation, stock performance, and more. As retail companies operate within economic, regulatory, and supply chain challenges, security teams need data that cuts through the noise to bring clarity, greater certainty, and a predictive value to strategic risk management decisions. It’s not good enough to know you have a problem, you need solutions too. This session will highlight how the leading security teams are leveraging effective online risk management as a competitive advantage, recognizing that a failure to address these challenges can leave companies vulnerable and falling behind in today’s risk environment.
