By now you’ve probably seen the headlines around the Hezbollah pager attack and its implications for supply chain security. It’s an eye-opening story and one that highlights the ever-expanding nature of what we consider "supply chain risk." While this particular incident is significant, it's important to remember that supply chain vulnerabilities go far beyond this. We’re not just talking about physical goods but also digital assets - think cyber supply chain risks. From disruptive event resiliency planning to cyber theft to malicious software hidden deep within supplier networks, the risks are escalating, and they’re affecting more industries than ever before. At Banyan Risk Group we’re continuously advising clients to expand their view of supply chain security. It’s not just about managing known suppliers, but also preparing for the unexpected. Make sure you’re talking to your teams and partners about these threats. The stakes are higher than ever, and the solutions require a comprehensive, forward-looking approach. https://lnkd.in/ep2MuhEP

Our CEO David Dezso will be a featured speaker at Gemini Shippers members meeting where he will discuss the latest trends and evolving threats around global supply chains.

We are thrilled to partner and support the Special Forces Charitable Trust and their upcoming charity event The Great American Shoot (TGAS) 2024! Please donate, follow and share to help our Special Forces soldiers fight mental health. At Banyan, our team is about making impact for our clients and communities. Supporting a charity that is making a real and measurable impact focused on mental health challenges and ultimately reducing suicide is something we were excited to support and fundraise. We are especially inspired by the efforts of their program called “Beyond the Battlefield” that enables a Special Forces soldier to anonymously seek mental health support to both active duty and veteran communities. For active duty, this reduces the stigma or career limitations and for veterans reduces the constraints of seeking help through the VA hospital system. This process happens in minutes not days or months waiting on approvals or referrals. Real impact in real time! Jodi Burns and her team are truly making a difference in the Special Forces commmunity and have been lauding by USSOCOM and others for their efforts. Below is a link to the upcoming TGAS event and we hope you join our team in supporting, following and sharing to increase awareness and support for our Green Berets active duty and veterans.

The Banyan team is thrilled to partner with Jodi Burns and her team at the Special Forces Charitable Trust! The Trust continues to provide unique and innovative ways to support the Army Special Forces (Airborne). Specifically, we are excited about the impact the Beyond the Battlefield program for mental health is making. Please see the link below to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gJ_7zVxX This program is what inspired our team to partner, build awareness and raise funds to support. Getting the Special Forces soldiers mental health assistance while on active duty and for the veteran community is critical. The program consists of 12 sessions of one-on-one therapy with a clinician of your choosing, off base, and most importantly - ANONYMOUSLY. This game changing program is making a difference in improving our veterans and active duty soldier's lives, and we believe will help reduce the tragic suicide rate our service members have struggled with for so long. Please JOIN US in supporting the Trust's mission and stay tuned as we continue to raise awareness and funds on behalf of this wonderful and impactful program. There are a number of activities coming up so please follow them to stay up to date! https://lnkd.in/dFVuWHn De Oppresso Liber! Go US Army, US Army Special Operations Command Ft.

Resource Constraints & Planning Emerging threats are evolving and increasing like we’ve never seen. Resource constraints are always a reality but poor planning is not an excuse. Proper planning allows a security team to fill gaps where manpower is not available - better use of communication techniques or technology enhancements like drones are key here. As is accountability and an extensive after action review. Is your security team ready for tomorrow’s challenge. We’d love to help and our team is standing by ready to support. “Secret Service agents reportedly did not personally sweep the building from which suspected shooter Crooks shot at the former president and relied on local police to handle security at that location (local law enforcement agencies have in turn blamed a lack of manpower and "extremely poor planning" for the lapses in security).” https://lnkd.in/g55-hwH3

In light of the recent incident involving Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, it's crucial to emphasize the importance of establishing an integrated security platform. Such platforms are essential in today’s volatile environment to ensure the safety of individuals and institutions. Importance of Integrated Security Platforms 1. Comprehensive Threat Detection: Integrated systems combine various security measures, from surveillance and access control to cyber defense, creating a multi-layered approach that can detect and deter threats more effectively. 2. Enhanced Response Coordination: In the event of an incident, having an integrated system ensures that all security components communicate seamlessly, allowing for a rapid and coordinated response. 3. Proactive Risk Management: These platforms enable continuous monitoring and assessment of potential risks, allowing for proactive measures rather than reactive responses. Challenges in Establishing Integrated Security Platforms 1. Technical Complexity: Integrating different security systems, each with its own protocols and technologies, requires a high level of technical expertise and coordination. 2. Cost and Resource Allocation: The development and maintenance of a comprehensive security platform can be resource-intensive, necessitating significant investment in both technology and personnel. 3. Data Privacy and Compliance: Ensuring that the integrated system complies with data protection laws and privacy regulations adds another layer of complexity, especially in jurisdictions with stringent legal requirements. At our consultancy, we specialize in addressing these challenges. Our expertise lies in designing and implementing bespoke integrated security solutions that not only enhance protection but also streamline operations and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. By leveraging the latest technologies and best practices, we help organizations mitigate risks and safeguard their most valuable assets. https://lnkd.in/ebHHW6S7
